OHSU is notoriously slow for everything they do. I don't know your exact stats or activities but I say your best bet is to call them and ask how much longer it will be but also be prepared for a lot of waiting with OHSU at every step of the way. It could also take longer if you are applying to a joint program. Good luck. Hopefully you hear something soon.
Did I say anything about an interview? I was posting about the completion/processing of my secondary application - and nothing more. No need to remind me of the admissions stats when I think we're all aware of how selective most schools are.
