I'm currently on the waitlist and have already reapplied. I really, really want to go to Cincy! I am OOS though.
 
I'm hoping the in-state thing will swing me some favor. But U of Cincy and Ohio State both seem a bit too nice to OOS people...

Yeah, what the heck? At one point, both of those schools accepted mostly Ohio residents. Then for some inexplicable reason, they had to fill half of their quotas with out of state students - thereby driving up their averages up to 3.8 GPA and 35 MCAT. If I don't get in I feel cheated because I'm an Ohio citizen and I pay my taxes!

So -- the medical colleges should turn out doctors of people who can't even put in the effort to get higher scores -- just because they live in-state?

I am sure it said 2009 at the time of my post. They changed it, I think.
 
yeah it definitely says "2009" when I just looked!!

I did two internships in Cincinnati and loved the city. The med school looks amazing. Maybe I can get a place in the Mt. Adams area if I'm lucky enough to get accepted.

Got the secondary today too...Few questions though.

What do they want to know from our traffic violations details wise (tickets)?

For the residency part, do we only put the address for those 2 years? Cause I accidentally put in the start date, which was before 9-1-08, but deleting it causes an error in the website...

The fact is that Cincy and OSU are state schools, so they should prefer Ohio residents. Pretty much all state schools work that way, so there is nothing wrong with it. OSU seems to think they can become top tier by turning to OOS applicants, but it just isn't going to happen. I didn't get into Cincy or OSU last cycle despite being IS with high scores, so it isn't just about looking OOS for higher numbers. It probably has something to do with diversity and getting people from more prestigious UGs than the OH schools.
 
Where's my secondary inviteeeee

I want cheap and easy secondaries!!
 
WOW -- best secondary ever??!

loved it.

funny story too kinda for the tickets. i was so dumb speeding home to watch SEINFELD lol. 76 on highway = all my graduation money gone.

I have one from 8 years ago. I have no idea where to get info. Anyone have a site where you can see your history?

fee waiver?
Click to expand...
you have to send in the fee waiver to their office, then they have to verify it then you can submit the app...so using the fee waiver will delay your app by a few weeks or more id assume. If you care about the school maybe just pay 25 bucks...me i dont even know if im going to fill out the secondary after seeing the stupid ass questions they put on it about tickets. If running a stop sign means im a bad dr then i dont want to waste time on such a lame school.
 
My guess is that the question is a subtle attempt at examining your integrity. They don't care if you ran a stop sign, they care if you omit it from the secondary b/c you think it might affect their perception of you. Whether they have the ability to look at your DMV record to know the whole story, I have no idea.

Then again, I could be WAY off base here.

Oh, I could not believe the fee was so low comparing to other schools. At first I thought people meant $25 for those with fee waivers. As I undrestood from posts they ask about tickets? what a redicoulous question! :laugh:

another thing is if someone has numerous speeding tickets, are they really responsible enough to be a physician if they can't even follow simple traffic rules?

does 3 tickets in 6 years though mean you arent responsible i doubt it. People speed every day and do other stupid **** but are rarely caught. Saying you dont drive 10 mph over the speed limit on a daily basis is just pure crap dude. Especially if you live in cali. My ticket was going 75 in a 65 zone...am i really not responsible. Maybe you live in some place in the midwest where its different.

i've heard that 9 over the limit is the safest cuz 10 is the magic number lol. why are you hating on the midwest? fyi, cinci is in the midwest. but it's really southern actually in many ways.

No hate for the midwest, i lived in that area for a while and it was just much different then cali thats all. Im really just hating the fact i wasted money/time applying to a school that cares about something so miniscule lol. You could give out 1000s of tickets a day on a freeway in cali for going 75 on it...not to mention i dont remember if i had a ticket like 6 years ago when I was living in another state...i might have had some minor one but i would hate to apply then have my offer rescinded because I didnt use my signal properly when changing lanes or something ******ed.

Seriously, I think you are missing the boat here. The point isn't the tickets, the point is full disclosure and honesty. People will lie about things they think might potentially hurt them. Cincinnati isn't looking to purge their class of delinquent drivers. It's the lying that's a bigger issue to the university (or whatever organization) who is attempting to find a class of students with integrity. It's the cover-up that does more damage than the crime in many instances.

Nope. If you're gonna be a good doctor, you gotta be able to get to the hospital at 3:00 AM fast if they call you. They want to make sure you can outsmart the lawmen and not get held up.
 
Can they really check your backround for tickets? I doubt it! But that's is my personal opinion.

:laugh: On second thought, this sounds much better.
 
I wonder if they are basing their assumptions on research. Maybe some study showing that people who speed are equally 'reckless' in other aspects of their life? I seriously doubt it though. I think it's just another arbitrary way they can judge us.

On another note, anyone else notice that they don't have a multiracial or biracial option in their 'predominate ethnicity' category? And no 'check all that apply"! I'm 50-50 Asian and White. Which is predominate? No idea. Would putting the no response choice count against me?

I can't tell you about this, but they do base their decisions on research. They are the only US school to adopt the MMI format for interviews, based on studies showing its effectiveness in foreign institutions.
When I interviewed last cycle, I was very impressed by the way they seemed to spare no expense or effort to do the best job possible.
 
Just got the secondary email today. I just submitted a few minutes ago. I am still waiting on two LOR's but should have in a couple days.

Also for the fee waiver you dont have to send them anything. I had it and when I got to the submit it said my fee was waived to the FAP.
 
Hi all. Is anyone else having an issue with the login? When i get to the screen under the scroll down menu <select program> there is nothing there... WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH:scared::scared::scared:
