ACCEPTED AND IT FEELS SO GOOD
Congrats! I've been researching this school pretty heavily and I can't imagine what it would feel like to be accepted. Did they email you or call??

I can't find anything for '15-16, but here is one for the 14-15 cycle. The IS stats are very favorable.

However, OOS is a different story. You better know what you're getting into if you are applying out of state. Out of 240 matriculating last year, only 5 were out of state. It seems like they invited ~20 OOS applicants out of 3,000 apps. Very very tough.

According to that data, if you interview you have roughly a 76% chance of getting an acceptance. Probably higher if you're only looking at IS but that is super encouraging! Getting more and more excited about my interview on the 7th!

How long did they wait after the interview to give you an answer?
They decide everything that Friday! Some people received phone calls that evening and others received emails the following Monday (it does not mean anything one way or another acceptance-wise if you were called that day, or receive the email the following Monday). Their turn-around is awesome! I received the acceptance call as I was entering my apartment from the drive back to Cincinnati from Athens on interview day. Some of my other friends got the acceptance email that next Monday.
 
Dean Schriner came to our program for a presentation and individual sessions yesterday, and said half the class is accepted after the holidays! That put me more at ease, so anyone still waiting, don't fret!

is this your first choice?? we would be classmates next year!!!
YES! I only applied to OU-HCOM which is probably horrifying for most SDNers, but I live in Cleveland and knew it's exactly what I wanted. So if it's your top choice too we definitely will be classmates!!

Good luck!! I know a lot of students at NEOMED. It's a great school. I was part of a postbacc program they have with Cleveland State, but I ended up going in a different direction and wanted to pursue OUHCOM instead.

What time did they call? I missed a call on the drive home and freaked out about it, but I'm assuming it was a wrong number because the caller didn't leave a voicemail. I'm just curious!

They called me at 6:45! I'm sure if you got the call from them, you are accepted :) I don't think they would call you on the same day to let you know that you are rejected or waitlisted.
Just wait for an email on Monday! Good luck!!!

Does anyone know if you have access to a fitness center at the Dublin or Cleveland campus?

My friend (1st year) from Cleveland campus told me that we have access to a fitness center and our tuition covers it.

I know at Dublin you get a pass to the big rec center that is run by the city of Dublin.

Cleveland had a weight room and a cardio room right in the school which is cool and I'm pretty sure you do get access to a local larger gym as well

I wonder why they call some people and email others
Hi!

I can answer that for you. :) We sometimes call candidates the night of the decision because we have a history with that student. Many times we get the opportunity to know a candidate from their freshman year of college (sometimes even earlier) and work with them their entire undergraduate career. It's just our way of saying thank you to the student for making that connection with us.

I did see where someone posted that a call vs. an email is still the same thing and that is absolutely correct. It truly doesn't mean we love you any less if we don't call. If the committee accepts you, we want you to be part of the family and that means we love you. :)
