Well if that's the case, you would think if the regular interviews have concluded then we would have heard some sort of response by now. Whether it be a rejection or belated interview invite.
Thank you! My facebook name is simplified and does not match my legal name (which is long and hard to spell). Do you think that will be a problem or that I should contact someone about it?
I think we might all be able to guess why OSU hasn't called you back yet... and it's got nothing to do with ethnicity...Call it what you want, lol of you who were denying my claim of a more minority's focused year. I called up there, this year they are on schedule to finish their matriculating class at an average 498 MCAT and 3.4 cGPA. While I know many of you think I was making up stories to justify why I never received s phone call from OSU, well, that is just pure ignorance. Also, for those of you who discounted the claim I spoke of about OSU pushing for heavy minority representation this year, well, you also are mistaken and showing your ignorance. I have explains this time and time again, but too few times do people ACTUALLY look into a claim before jumping to conclusions just to defemd their view point. One user actually went as far as to say OSU never posted on Facebook about minority recruitment (which is a huge lie). OSU, this year, will have one of the most diverse classes they have ever had. Not only will they be diverse, but they are also going to have an incredibly low average on their entrance statistics this year when speaking comparatively. Not that any of this matters to me since I wouldn't choose OSU given my past experiences with them (which is a shame because OSU was my propr #1), but I just wanted to update all of the inpfnorant posters about my most recent phone call for to the admissions coordinator. Thank you all for reading and I hope all of you the very best of cycles!
Assuming pretty much all of this is directed at me: I did not claim there wasn't recruitment of minorities, and did not see anything on the school's facebook page other than what I mentioned in a previous post (sorry didn't feel like scrolling back past several months). You never backed up your claim so that we could all know what programs you are talking about (I'd genuinely like to know about these minority recruitment efforts), so if you have explained this "time and time again" it must have been in some other thread.Call it what you want, lol of you who were denying my claim of a more minority's focused year.

I will be the first to admit this WAS my first choice simply due the COA and the fact that I lived basically right next door to the school. Who wouldn't choose a school where you could save literally ~$250k? As far as the educational staff and curriculum are concerned I definitely feel like I have better options, but I am not here to downplay the amazing efforts OSU has put into their programs. All of my mentors are graduates from this amazing school, but I am certainly not bitter about being rejected from my home institution.
Through the grapevine I learned that the former admissions director had stepped down and the admissions specialists had stepped in, essentially pulling double duty.
Haven't seen anything. Last I heard was "...in a couple of days" earlier this week so should be pretty soon.
If you mail the vaccination/medical records, be sure to mail them to the student clinic, not anyone at the school. They don't want any kind of medical records in the student affairs office.
I called this afternoon, and they are reviewing my application and still interviewing applicants.
Why are you all taking this so personal? No, I am not saying minorities are under-performing compared to the so-called WASP students (which I am not, btw), I was just making an observation from what I have read in the past and applying it to what I have read on here. There is no underlying agenda to what I have said in the past and I tried to clarify what I meant and I said sorry to those I mislead with my words, but for some reason it still has some people angry. I can't help you with that. Sorry..again.
I can support that statement having talked to Sarah yesterday.
Thanks for the reply! I am fortunate in that I am already accepted to a school but I would still love to get an interview at OSU. Best of luck to everyone!
People are taking it personally because you are insulting the class that they hope to be a part of. I've been accepted at OSU-COM. I'm part of the reason the stats are lower. I have a 3.11 GPA and a 29 cumulative on the MCAT. Not a minority though. Obviously, there are other factors to look at besides the color of your skin and stellar statistics. I wasn't even going to join these forums but your posts are maddening. You need to take a long, hard look at yourself if you honestly cannot tell why what you have written is being taken as offensive. It's ugly.
What was difficult about using the surface? I have an old one that runs some weird RT version of Windows. Almost entirely unable to customize it but it has served me in undergrad well. I was considering a new one for school but you've got me rethinking it.

Nobody is creating the context but you.
Stats don't matter once you get into medical school. Now you just have to pass your boards and love up to the oath.
They seemed to matter to you earlier.
