I was hoping for good news today or tomorrow from OSU but all of Ohio is in a bad winter storm right now. They cancelled all in person classes today and I assume that also means the adcom won't be in the rest of the week either lol

Any OOS accepted applicants here want to discuss how to qualify for IS tuition?

I haven’t even been interviewed yet but I’ve looked into a bit. It’s my understanding that they do everything they can to get you to qualify as an MS1, but as long as you have established residence by the time you’re an MS2 you’ll get IS.
 
Has anyone come off of the deferred list yet? Just wondering when they will start pulling from this.

You can come off at any time I believe, but in April it turns into a wait list so you’ll see a lot of movement then. Typically half the class comes off of the waitlist

So does OSU send the tour invite email to everyone who interviewed? Confused that I got one, since I was deferred

I think they send it to everyone because I haven't even had my interview yet.

I’m getting a block O tattoo and attaching a picture of it to my letter of interest (pre II) I’d suggest doing sm like that

+1 but I'm pretty convinced I'm gonna do it anyway
 
I sent an LOI/update letter and received an II 2 weeks later. I'd recommend doing it!

My OSU interviews were also the most relaxed I’ve ever been. The doctor/student interviewers were so nice and so conversational. Just an overall amazing experience that I’m sure you will enjoy too!!

That's awesome!! I have been SO nervous for all my other interviews but feel so good about this one and all the reassurance. Good luck to you with this application cycle! :)
 
Did we have to do anything for our LORs besides designating them to OSU on AMCAS? I’m playing around on the OSU self service site rn and there’s an option to add references which is kinda confusing

Not that I remember
 
Congrats! When is your interview? Were you able to see available dates for other interviews?
My interview day is March 7. I was not able to see dates. They just assigned me this date when they sent me the email.

Committee meets every two weeks to decide, then deferred list becomes a waitlist in April. Just judging from your username you’ve probably got ties to Columbus so you could probably write a pretty strong LOI.

What are the chances of getting in off the deferred/wait list? Do most people make it? Do some end up rejected?

Half of the class comes off the waitlist, so about 100 people.
