For the secondary where they ask about housing request, does anyone know if most students stay in the university residence halls or just get their own place? I wasn't sure which tab to mark down and wanted to do what majority of other students do there. Thanks!

Check out the 2008 Ohio State thread. FYI, I chose University Housing. I don't want to do apartment hunting if I end up coming here.

ditto!

Member 113892 · 06-25-2009, 02:05 PM

They say responses for both questions should be 600 words or less. I feel like that's so much. Are you guys using the full 600 words?

How are you guys doing updates (such as summer EC updates) to OSU? just sending it to their address? cause they do not seem to have a section for that.

Also, it seems like we can be complete at OSU without the LORs? it says we just need to have that in before the interview

I wouldn't send an update until after interview. They are already busy reading primary, secondary, LORs, etc beforehand.

Member 113892 · 06-25-2009, 07:20 PM

Where do they list their LOR requirements? It's not on their secondary application.

Member 113892 · 06-25-2009, 07:27 PM

Well, submitted!

Member 264481 · 06-26-2009, 03:38 PM

I was just reviewing my app from OSU from the last two years and I noticed that the first year I applied I didn't answer the second question, what will you be doing in 10 years. I just left it blank!!! But the crazy thing is they gave me an interview that year!!!

Now I am wondering if I should answer it this time... Maybe it is lucky to leave it blank haha

I have to be more careful. Maybe that is why they didn't let me in

Member 152424 · 06-26-2009, 04:24 PM

How lond did it take everyone to get their AMCAS verified? I want to get a head start on these secondaries!

Answer them.

Member 238869 · 06-26-2009, 09:31 PM

How quickly is everyone trying to get these secondaries out? Would waiting a week or two be a mistake?

Member 261495 · 06-26-2009, 09:51 PM

Can anyone access the application status page using the AMCAS ID and their password combination?

One week should be fine. This secondary isn't too bad.

You have to create a user account when you first log on.

I already did because that's how I filled out the secondary. But for the application status, it's a totally different password combination according to the website.

Even if you were complete in a month you'd still be fairly early.

Member 261344 · 06-27-2009, 02:39 PM

Hi for the altruism essay, can we use personal examples with friends and family or does it have to be an EC like activity? Thx

Yeah, it works for me. Maybe you should contact them directly on Monday.

Member 172371 · 06-27-2009, 02:43 PM

That altruism essay was a tough one to write.

Member 113892 · 06-27-2009, 02:48 PM

Did you get an interview invite here last cycle, amph? I'm wondering how friendly this place is to OOS students.

Member 172371 · 06-27-2009, 02:50 PM

Yep I interviewed there in October, it is a great place. I was deferred, but I never really followed up with them in terms of updates or anything like that.

Member 262451 · 06-28-2009, 08:21 AM

Half of their class were OOS last year...

Member 207876 · 06-28-2009, 11:22 AM

Amph, how long were your essays? 600 words seems so long!

Also, what are you guys including in the "where you see yourself 10 years after graduating medical school" essay? I wrote two paragraphs about my professional goals, the type of medicine I want to work in, etc, but that's still only 300ish words. Do you think they only want the medicine-related stuff, or other life goals as well...family, etc?

My responses were more or less 300 words, too. I don't think you should try to fill in all 600 words, if you can't. You don't want to sound repetitive.

Member 207876 · 06-28-2009, 11:28 AM

Yeah, good point. 300ish words is still pretty long.

I will probably leave it at that, unless some great inspiration comes to me....

Member 172371 · 06-28-2009, 02:56 PM

I can't remember exactly. I'm pretty sure they were in the neighborhood of 450-500 words.

Member 261495 · 06-28-2009, 06:43 PM

Damn...mine was only like 150 words. I really don't know where I'll be in ~15 years.

Member 264481 · 06-29-2009, 05:51 AM

Yikes I filled in all 600 words. They were each 600 on the dot... I guess I am long winded. I put a decent amount about family in the 10 years one, hopefully that is ok, but really in 15 years, I do plan on being pretty family oriented, so I went for the truth.

Member 264481 · 06-29-2009, 10:21 AM

Nope. You can go to their website to check your status though.

How forthcoming are y'all being for the question that asks to list schools to which you've previously applied? Are you just choosing theirs + 5 more at random?

Hi everyone! I'm applying to OSU but I'm OOS. We'll see how it goes. It seems like they take a lot of OOS people.
