Been waiting for an acceptance letter to OHSU. Does anyone know how many offers of acceptance have been given to date? I was told this week that they are averaging about 25% acceptances of their interviewees. I think they said they would interview 420 this year, so that?s 105..., plus you have to take into account the multiple acceptances and waitlist, hopefully in the end I'll get in.
Just wanted to start a new more positive thread for OHSU. In the entire interview process I have found the admissions staff to be helpful and courteous. They answer my questions succinctly and the interview day was very professional. In additions, the interviewers were pleasant and insightful. All and all, I think they're doing a great job.
That said, I think that the med school applicant process would be much less stressful if the medical schools adopted an approach similar to the residency match. Finding out on one day would definitely be better. The current system only benefits a few highly competitive applicants while it leaves the majority pulling out their hair.
I also wanted to mention that OHSU is one of the greatest state medical schools in the nation. I have worked at the children's hospital for years and know firsthand that the quality of care at OHSU is superior to other health care institutions in nearly every way. Just wanted to add my two cents on why OHSU is a great school and health care system.
Happy posting
