I never received a call from Dean Capers! I applied last year and my matriculation was deferred to this year. However, I did receive a call from a sweet lady at the admissions office informing me of my acceptance. She was so excited to tell me the good news that I knew I was accepted by the tone of her voice when she introduced herself :).

Did you apply for the deferrment? If I'm accepted, I might want to defer for a year, and I'm wondering how OSU handles requests for deferment. I know that some schools are rather strict, whereas other schools automatically allow you to defer.

Anybody interviewing Monday and want to split a cab to the airport? PM me or reply in thread.
i will be interviewing monday, but i'm not sure if i'll be splitting a cab or not. may grab dinner w/ a friend on campus and bum a ride.

Anybody interviewing Monday and want to split a cab to the airport? PM me or reply in thread.

If you're talking about getting to the airport from the school, the admissions staff there was pretty helpful in organizing rides for people to get to the airport after the interview day was over.

In fact, I think the first things they asked me when I showed up were 1) what's your name 2) did you bring your picture and 3) when's your flight out/do you have a ride to the airport

Cool, thanks guys.

Got my call from Dean Capers today. What a guy.

Hi everyone! I've been lurking on here for a while. A quick question: if I have received an interview in the ohio area, could I ask Ohio State to find out the decision so I wouldn't have to fly back twice. Would Ohio State let me know my decision or do they not really like that.

not sure. it's worth a try. the thing is that Ohio State is very picky about who they interview.

I hope you're right so I can look forward to a nice acceptance tomorrow morning. *Fingers crossed*

how do you know, rockaction? Did they tell you on the interview day?

how do you know, rockaction? Did they tell you on the interview day?

Because they accept about 64% of the people they interview.

For those of you who interviewed on October 12th, thoughts on when we'll hear? When they said 10 business days, did they mean tomorrow or Monday?
Eeeeeeeeek!:D

Most likely tomorrow morning.

10 business days would be longer, but they usually do it a bit faster than that so very possibly tomorrow! Hope for good news for you guys.

Accepted 10/16. Got my call from Dean Capers today! I am way excited about this school, and am about 90% sure this is where I will be going.

Has anyone else decided if this is the place for them yet?

Deciding between OSU and Case is going to pretty much kill me. It's going to be heart-breaking to give one of those acceptances up!

well either way your golden!

yes, Dean Capers told us at the beginning of our interview

For some reason, I thought you were already a med student at OSU. Probably b/c of your screenname. If we interviewed the same day, I'm sure we've met. Nice to meet you! Hahah. And good luck!

Oh, and you too Firewall! (If applicable)

Is today really the day? Are we expecting an email or just a status change with no email?

Just called. The very nice lady at the office says that she usually gets decisions on Monday and tries to get them in to the system by Monday afternoon. Expect to see status changes and an email Tuesday morning.

Now I get my Friday back! Have a great weekend, and see you Tuesday! ;)

Good luck guys. I'm probably to going to withdraw from a lot of my schools now that I have an OSU acceptance. It's way to early to say if I'll go here for sure, but I was VERY impressed by their program and I doubt I would go anywhere else unless I got into one of my dream schools. Ohio State really is the total package.

Accepted 10/16. Got my call from Dean Capers today! I am way excited about this school, and am about 90% sure this is where I will be going.

Has anyone else decided if this is the place for them yet?

I'm somewhere close to 90% as well on OSU. The only other contender at this point is Pitt. It may come down to financial aid.

I'm supposed to go to Natty for an interview next Thursday. I won't go if I get into OSU. I can still cancel the flight and get a refund if I do it before the weekend. But of course that's IF I get in. Do you think it's a bad idea to call and ask?

for Ohio residents or OOS students?

Both. The pre-interview invite rate for OOS students is slightly lower, I believe, but the post-interview acceptance rate is within a couple percentage points.

I'm so, so nervous for Tuesday morning! Luckily, I don't have much else I'm supposed to be doing. Or maybe that's bad b/c my thoughts seem to wander back to OSU. Here's to hoping we all get in!

so if we interview now, when do we hear back? I heard about 2 week turnaround time. Is that right?

No I didn't, I was accepted the week of orientation. By then it was too late for me to matriculate this year. Sorry for not being more helpful about the deferment process! I really don't know how it works at OSU.

Good luck for all who are waiting.

Fyi - your status change will likely occur without email. I got an email about my status change hours after my status actually changed. So your best bet of hearing will be to check your status online periodically.

It will be bold and intense. Good luck, and don't lose your mind checking the status page!

Brilliant! I think sometime today then; according to the officer I spoke to, statuses are being put in this afternoon. Mind letting us know when your status changes? :xf::xf::xf:

too late for that :p I've already been accepted, so hopefully my status won't change again! But I did find out as early as possible using this method, if you look back a few pages you'll see i posted the news of status changes first :D

Ah, I really need to start reading all your MD Apps before replying. CONGRATS!!! I'm reapplying too so it's always good to see reapplicants doing well. :)

Just flipped back to 10/16. Did you find out at 3 am?!?!

About 6 a.m. EST actually.

About 6 a.m. EST actually.

Ahh.. the time difference. I doubt they work that early so they must have set it to release statuses then, right? Does that mean I can stop checking today? :D

If anyone is having trouble pulling together information for interview prep or just wants to know more about the school, I figured I'd leave you guys the link to the medical centers Youtube channel.

http://www.youtube.com/user/osumedicalcenter#g/u

A lot of the people in the videos actually met us and talked to us on my interview day and I would recommend going through these videos - it will really give you an advantage at interview. I know it really helped me.

OSU is definitely one of my top choices. I'll keep mum for a few months, but I'd be very, very happy at Columbus even if I don't hear from some other places. Will I see you both at second look?

CONGRATS AGAIN!! What a high, right?

Accepted too! I got the call as I was boarding a plane for my duke interview lol! Congrats everyone!

Congrats ApoK! Way to make a killing so early in the cycle!

Interview Invite here today!! Complete 10/2...

Any suggestions on how to prepare for the upcoming interview? I did check the sdn "interview feedback" site for OSU interviews. Thanks in advance.

^ Everyone says you have to prepare for an ethical question at OSU interviews. I got one about a patient who was born here but her father was born in the Middle East and he made some demands (she was specific about them but I don't remember anymore) that coincided with his culture but wasn't in the best interest of the patient. She asked me what I would do at that point.

Haha I did the same thing. I called my mom and she started screaming on the phone (she's a CS engineer so everyone around her in their little cubicles could hear her lol). I remember driving somewhere to run an errand and I just started crying. Probably not the best thing I could have done while driving but I couldn't help it!

Know something about the school, know everything about yourself that you put in your application and most importantly...RELAX! OSU does a fantastic job of making you feel special just for having been invited to the interview. Remember that the statistics are in your favor - they accept about 60% of those who interview.

Thanks for the input guys. Also the answert to the Q fo the kid with the foreign father would be -- as the child is a minor & the father does have the final say for her -- you would try to convince the father of the issues & if all else fails, document the heck out of everything & obtain a witness signature?

The one caveat is if his demands are grossly negligent and present a clear danger to his daughter. Then the doctor can document and override his requests because they are negligent and illegal.

Can a doctor override the request? For ex. certain religions don't allow blood transfusions, even if that will save the patients life. Can a doctor override the request?
I am sure a doctor working in a hospital might be able to consult legal counsel, but without such advice -- once again, can a doctor override a request? Wont it be considered assault & battery at this point? I work as an EMS for a city fire dept. & that's what we have been trained. We are required to call medical direction & do as they say -- its CYA & let the s!@# roll uphill kind of deal.

i don't think doctors individually have that kind of autonomy anymore. they would most likely consult with ethics committee and lawyers.

See you guys on second look day.

Hmmm.. I didn't get too many ethical questions. The only one I got was pretty common, and even so, I don't think I answered it all that well-- I was just honest and apparently that was enough. The rest were pretty personal. I'd just review your applications thoroughly so nothing catches you off guard.

I had two faculty members at my interview so it was less conversational than I was used to-- more of the typical Q&A and a bit more intense than my others. Still, I never at any point felt like they were trying to test me or put me on the spot. I walked away feeling a little shaken but happy.

I :biglove: OSU and Dr. Capers is awesome! Good luck!!

P.S. If you have a chance, go to Jeni's ice cream and get the salty caramel. It's to die for. I'm considering getting it shipped across the country and I'm broke as a joke.

See you guys on second look day.

So you're not deferring? Did they say when you have to tell them by?

i don't think doctors individually have that kind of autonomy anymore. they would most likely consult with ethics committee and lawyers.
Yeah, "medical direction" would be the physicians in charge and they would in turn contact a judge. The judge will make the decision if the parent's request constitutes negligence. If yes, then you can do it. With regards to emergency situations, there's usually a hotline of sorts for legal advice for hospitals and this will put any responsibility on the the hospital if you follow it's legal counsel.



EDIT: then again if you got this far into the issue with an interviewer, they would probably recognize that you have a good head on your shoulders and a strong concept of what is right and wrong to you and how informed consent works...

Gosh, why is my interview in November. I wish I had done it earlier.:(

Your mom makes me :) (Not in a gross way- I'm a girl)

Also, it's all about the tears of joy while driving. I'm sure my office and my neighbors think I'm unstable. :laugh:

^ lol yeah my mom was probably happier than I was!

I agree with everyone else and that's what I said basically. Since the girl is a minor the physician has the authority to do whatever is in her best interest, especially if it's an emergency situation.

I also said something about her father moving his family to America and he shouldn't expect us to follow his customs when he lives here.

The interview is very relaxed though (unless you're very, very unlucky and you get a intimidating interviewer)... they don't sit there and drill you with ethical questions. They incorporate it into the conversation :).

Just FYI, I didn't have any ethical questions when I interviewed.

Gosh, why is my interview in November. I wish I had done it earlier.:(

No worries, Blue! They accept 400 for their class of ~200. November is not late at all! At least I hope not b/c I'm still hoping for more interviews.

I keep thinking about it and my Albany and Ohio State interviews were really close to each other. I could be mixing them up. Was it Albany that always has an ethical question?

Still, I know my Ohio State interviewer gave me one because I clicked with her so well (we both go shooting!) and I remember more about our conversation than with any other interviewer. I don't even remember who my interviewer was at Albany.

For those of you still waiting to hear back about an interview, I received an invite earlier today. Scheduled for 2/17/10. Application complete for about a week. Very excited. Sounds like a great school.

My student host at OSU was interviewed in February, he said he got accepted a couple weeks later.

same, hope we're not interviewing for the waitlist :(

Considering OSU interviews very few people, I'd say you still have a great chance of acceptance even if you interview in February. Still probably a 50/50. You just have to shine at that interview.

I'll be there!

So you're not deferring? Did they say when you have to tell them by?

I was leaning toward deferment originally, but after talking to a lot of people, I don't think I will after all. So I'll see you guys next year. :)

What do you mean by deferment? Why not accept all your top choices now and decide in a couple months?

What do you mean by deferment? Why not accept all your top choices now and decide in a couple months?

Deferment is when you accept the offer but request to start 1 year later. Ohio State only asks that you have a compelling reason. They approve most requests.

ill be there on the 16th too!

..but who i am...YOULL NEVER KNOW

whoo! I always like playing the game of "trying to figure out a person's SDN alias" when I meet then irl.

Then again, I'll have to identify the SDNers vs. the non-SDNers :)

For those of you who accepted on their webpage, what is the next step? does that just hold a spot in the class for us? or we actually get a letter sometime

Yeah, I've been wondering the same thing. I think I read something about a $25 (or 50) acceptance fee. Do you think we get something in the mail with more instructions?

Yeah, I've been wondering the same thing. I think I read something about a $25 (or 50) acceptance fee. Do you think we get something in the mail with more instructions?

You will! It's also in the mailing that it's not due until, I believe, May. So no need to worry about it for quite a while.

I'm in a Master's program right now and there's a chance (50/50) I won't finish my degree before next fall due to setbacks in my research. I know OSU requires you to finish your BS before matriculating, but does anyone know if not completing my Master's would be an issue? I haven't found anything on their website/acceptance materials about this and I'm hesitant to call the admissions office.

Anyone heard anything yet today about post-interview status? (I interviewed Oct 19th)

yup! I called and the office and the lady told me when gets decisions and when she puts them online. From what I was told, I think decisions are finalized on Monday (10 days after the interview) and then released Tuesday morning. Calls may or may not happen on Monday afternoon. Good luck!

Just interviewed. Amazing, totally blown away.

So after 10 days, they call you or is status changed first? What were you guys' experience?

The next week - phone call

Wait, so 10 days? Dean Capers said 2 weeks, I'm kind of confused.

Interviews were great, but I have a feeling I'm rejected or at most deferred. We'll see.

That's silly! Ohio accepts like 66% of those interviewed right? I bet if it felt like it went well, your chances are really high. Who'd you interview with?

No idea about their names. Can't remember their names even if my life depended on it.

Not being judgemental to anybody -- aren't we supposed to get names to write thank you letters, or are we supposed to be writing generic thank you letters to AdCom?
I haven't interviewed with anybody yet, so, once again this is just curiosity & nothing else.

it's a good courtesy. i got a business card from my interviewer, and i made a note of the other interviewer's name. looked him up later to confirm i had the name right.

but usually i mail it to the interviewer's name to admissions office.

It's a matter of preference. I viewed it as unnecessary and I didn't send any thank you notes. It doesn't impact your admissions decision one way or the other.

After being accepted to Case, I emailed my faculty interviewer to share the news with him. My OSU interviewers actually emailed me so I emailed them back saying thanks. It's all a matter of preference.

But do grab a business or something from all your interviewers in case you have more questions for them.

I knew I should have asked for business cards. Fail.

It's OK, Personally, I just sent emails to everyone. For OSU at least send a thank you email to dean Capers.

where's all the excitement from people who were accepted yesterday/today?!?!

I got the acceptance call yesterday from Dr. Capers and am really excited! It hasn't completely sunk in for me yet though.

can i expect to be back at the airport at 5pm to go home?

and is a roundtrip price of $270 a good deal? seems a little pricey.

weird how my roundtrip to NY, during thanksgiving week no less, came out to be only $310.

thanks guys.

1) 5 pm is a bit rushed, 5:30 is OK, but 6 is safe.

2) It depends on where you're flying from.

We ended right at 3, the admissions ladies so kindly actually called a taxi for us (totally amazing, I mean seriously that was so nice), and we got to the airport by 3:45 PM.

which airport do i fly into?

my flight would leave at 5:25pm.

thanks guys.

Cmh.

We ended right at 3, the admissions ladies so kindly actually called a taxi for us (totally amazing, I mean seriously that was so nice), and we got to the airport by 3:45 PM.

umm, it ends at 3? i was thinking 4 for some reason. we did have to wait around for quite a while for some guy who's changing out of his suit, so it took us over an hour, so the time might be tight.

they said it could end at 4. it probably depends on your day and how you kick it with your last interviewer. if they say it ends at 4, i wouldnt plan a flight for 5 but 545 is more than enough

if your flight is in mid january i would use Bing to track prices because they may not have had all the flights scheduled for that route yet (possibly). there isnt really a good reason to buy now

CMH is about 10-15 min from OSU w/o traffic

From now on, interview days are scheduled to end at 3 PM. Before November, I guess it was 4.

Cmh.

All caps fail?

All caps fail?

Yeah, lame.

From now on, interview days are scheduled to end at 3 PM. Before November, I guess it was 4.

ahhh that's right, i remember now. On the interview invite thing they had different start/finish times depending on which date you interview. That's why I thought it was 4. 5:25 flight should still be fine. That gives you a bit leeway just in case your ride is late or you have to wait on something/someone or some random holdup at the airport.

southwest has a deal for $270.

though it's extremely early, that does seem to be a very low price regardless.

can anyone agree on that?

i don't want to miss out if that's the case obviously

It depends on where you're coming from.

My interviewer was warm and friendly. Maybe your overall experience is greatly skewed by how your interview went since it is the most important part of your day. Not everyone will come out of it with the same opinion.

Part of the reason why I loved OSU so much was because of my host. She picked me up from the airport, took me to dinner, and also dropped me off. She was extremely accommodating and even let me borrow her jacket. I am from Arizona so I did not bring the proper jacket with me. It was warm but it didn't look very nice, especially for an interview.

My interviewers were super friendly and nice. The best interviewers I have had so far. I thought they did a great job really providing for you and making sure you were comfortable. Obviously, the Medical Center is just amazing.

My student host also picked me up at the airport, went to dinner with me, and was just an awesome guy. I think everyone's experience is different, but OSU was definitely impressive for me.

"Blackout dates apply November 20, 2009 through December 1, 2009 and December 18, 2009 through January 4, 2010. If any portion of travel falls on a blackout date the discount will not apply"

laaaaammmee :(

I just had my interview TODAY. It was really informative! I feel like I got a good sense of OSU, and I can say that I am excited to potentially go here!!!

but yeah my interviewers were friendly. Not overbearing and super excited, but they smiled, responded to my jokes, and overall were relaxed and gave me a good impression!

*crossing my fingers in the meantime!* lets hope i get in!

I had a different experience with my host. Though I'm grateful that I was able to crash on the couch. My host did not pick me or drop me at the airport, did not have food available at the house and was unwilling to take me out to buy food and in result each time I needed to eat, I had to walk blocks to some local restaurants (in the rain)... and dropped me off on campus for my interviews 2 hours in advance because she had class.

Like I said, I'm grateful for the couch and that saved money on hotel fees and I'm glad that I had a ride to the campus. But this was a very different hosting experience than I had grown accustomed to.

It didn't deter from the school. I was just caught a bit off guard. :o

No offense, but what's so special about this school? Why are you so positive about this school? I think it's over-hyped. I recently went there for an interview and wasn't impressed with the atmosphere, students, and faculty (except Dean Capers--he's awesome). The interviews sucked--the interviewers never cracked a smile, but I kept smiling and being positive. I heard a lot of negative comments about other interviewers from my fellow interviewees. For example, one interviewer explicitly told an applicant with Ph.D in Harvard that research is a bad thing. WTF? Maybe it was just a bad day at OSU...

Well, their lunch was especially good.:D

I got accepted ^^ YAY!

I was wondering about housing? Does anyone know how to go about doing it? I've looked online, and it doesn't say much about what each on campus housing is like (like doubles or singles) and seems a bit more like undergraduate housing (halls etc.)
Could anyone give some tips about how they applied for housing? or is this way too premature? (i'm also hoping to find an apartment mate!)

thanks guys!

If you want to find an apartment, I'd suggest coming here winter break and looking for some, leases on campus are usually due by jan/feb. But if you want to live away from campus you can come down in the summer.

Right now I wouldn't worry about housing too much, I was still looking for housing 3 weeks before class started and had no trouble finding a great place! Columbus is definitely a renter's market. People find roommates mainly through second look day and also the facebook group that usually gets started up.

Most of the med school student don't live on campus. There is plenty of cheap and affordable housing within walking distance. Places where a lot of people live in would include the streets right by the med school, an area called Victorian Village and a complex called the Meridian.

If you plan to have a car this opens up your options further and a good number of us also live 10-15 minutes drive away in really nice complexes.

Do any of you know where to find a list of OSU's third/fourth year electives? I saw online that they have over 250, but the website isn't the most helpful.

All I know is I was put on hold at uc and accepted at OSU

I applied to Ohio State but I am being considered for their post-bacc program. My MCAT score was not very good :eek::mad::eek: Does anybody know more about their program?? I am OOS.

Thanks and congratulations to those accepted!!:love: :luck:

It takes about a week. Wait until next week to see what happens to the host assigning.

Just to clarify... first 2 years here are pass/fail correct?

I've been accepted into both. They don't seem to have a lot in common. Both have a very different atmosphere. UC has a nicer newer med building, I think OSU has more resources, happier students, etc. Functional differences are Honors/High Pass/Pass/Fail for UC with nonblocked classes. OSU has blocked classes and Pass/Fail with Honors at the high end.

Yea, UC has essentially an ABCF system while OSU has essentially a P/F system. OSU does have honors, but it's like the top 5% or something, basically not really worth it to actually try to get it.

The postbacc program at ohio state is called Medpath. Basically if you are accepted into it, you take year of various courses that get you prepared for med school (such as physiology, anatomy, chem etc). If you pass all these courses, then you are automatically guaranteed entrance into the following year's class. You can basically think of it as getting into med school, but just for five years instead of 4. I think they accept around 30 people out of 110 or so candidates. This year I think there are 27 or so in the M1 class.

Missed a call from an unknown number around 9:22 CST. Checked my message and it was Dr. Capers congratulating me on my acceptance! He said that status updates will be up tomorrow! Interviewed 10/28 btw.:biglove:

does anyone know if delaying your decision on whether or not to accept affects your competitiveness for scholarships/F.A.?
i.e., if I decide to accept sooner rather than later, does that improve my chances at a better financial aid package? i'm under the impression that it doesn't, but I just wanted to check to be sure...

why don't you hit accept and then decide by may 15

Always "accept" your acceptances... this shouldn't take any thought. If you withdraw eventually, you'll get your deposit back (except for some D.O. schools). You generally only have a small amount of time to take the acceptance anyway (maybe a few weeks).

i would assume that they would offer you more money if you were uncertain which school to pick so as o convince you.

Actually there are some allopathic schools that won't give you the deposit back, like FIU which has a 200 dollars non-refundable deposit. OSU gives you until May 15th to pay the deposit, so you don't even have to give the 25 bucks to them until then.

i would assume that they would offer you more money if you were uncertain which school to pick so as o convince you.

If you hold multiple acceptances -- which one can -- isn't that being uncertain of which school to go to? After all after hitting accept, one will look at the fin aid package that eventually gets offered.

On the other hand, you dont want to miss that accept deadline, & consequently not be considered.

:thumbup:

I don't know exactly when, but the schools will eventually be able to see your other acceptances and then they might offer you money. If you are the bomb, or a URM, you might get offered money up front in an attempt to dissuade you from doing to your other interviews and considering other options.

I should have elaborated on what i was thinking but others have mentioned it. by being uncertain i did mean holding multiple acceptances and not being sure where to go for financial reasons. I think in such a case first of all for OSU you should go ahead and accept online just to reserve your spot. but the snail mail they send you with the deposit due is not due till May so that is what i meant you should perhaps hold off on until you get financial packets.

Interview invite this morning! But not until 2/22... Am I just interviewing for a spot on the waitlist at that point?

Nevermind, I think I might have figured it out. I got an e-mail from them a while ago with my student ID.

Nope, still not working. I might have to contact support.

Hello everyone!

Grats on all these acceptances!! :)

I got an invite for Feb this morning... :soexcited:

Hey All -
I have a question because I received an interview invite a while ago and my interview is confirmed for 2 weeks from now. However, I haven't received an e-mail yet explaining the day and the schedule and where to go. Do they send that out closer to the interview, or should I call them? My interview invite was through a status update and I confirmed it right then. Thanks for any response, I am really looking forward to OSU and congrats to everyone who is accepted all ready.

You went ahead and linked it on facebook? I was thinking about doing this (just got my email address for Wright State yesterday and I'm pretty sure I'm going to end up going there), but I wasn't sure how people would react if I put my future grad school on there seeing as I still have 6 months of undergrad left before I start working on the M.D.

does anyone have any recommendations for hotels from the OSU list (shuttles?) It seems like there won't be any students available to host when I interview....:(

Pretty close game so far.

qft. we have our collective heads on straight now though. they look tough.

not only am I not in the shoe, I can't even watch on tv as I'm currently working :mad:

Wow that was a good game.

It shouldn't have come down to that. OSU played really dumb football in the fourth quarter...and Tressel definitely did not help their cause.

Love / Hate relationship if I've ever seen one lol. But at this point I'm willing to ride it out with this kid.

If you compare him to Vince Young, he might even be a step ahead after 2 years playing. Hopefully he makes the same type of leap his last 2 years!

For a letter of interest, is it better to send it to the general admissions email or to the dean's email? I feel like if I just send it to admissions, it'll just be placed into my file and no one will ever read it.

Haha...I'm usually not that neurotic and don't plan to do this for other schools. But this is the school I really want to go to and have good reasons. I just figured it can't hurt.

does anyone have any recommendations for hotels from the OSU list (shuttles?) It seems like there won't be any students available to host when I interview....:(

Anyone know what hotels people have been staying at? I know they provide you with a list but is there any one in particular that gives good rates/shuttle?

I stayed at The Blackwell. It's $159.00 a night but it's incredible and the rooms are huge with lots of work space. It's run by their business school and it's right on campus. You can walk to your interview in a few minutes.

I highly recommend it you want to stay somewhere a little nicer and relax before your interview day.

I stayed at the University Plaza. Nice hotel. Free breakfast and internet access.

Stay at my place...its free and on the same street as Meiling

I stayed at a friend's place (an OSU undergrad), which turned out to be several blocks from the medical school building. That was a fun walk in my suit with luggage (since I was leaving right after). It was also pretty hot out...

Same haha

You know guys -- when this is over, lets have a party before school starts -- say in June. Nice Summer weather, lets do loads of grilling & loads of beer/whatever. Any takers???
If I get in -- I'll get a bottle of Dom Perignon!

Hey OSUMC -- you being local -- you could start us up with finding a place for a whole lot of guys & gals to crash for a night :)

Have people heard anything yet?

No, I thought I would hear something for sure today. I am getting anxious. I interviewed on the 2nd.

Me too I interviewed on the 2nd and nothing so far.

No call, this means no acceptance? Sigh.

they interviewed 11/2 and 11/4, maybe they are sending out both decisions together?

Yeah, I don't know what to tell you blue. I haven't heard anything either. However, I did check my status page and it still just says "interview complete". Maybe they didn't get around to it today. Better luck tomorrow?
