Anyone hear from Ohio State recently? Particularly those whose decisions were deferred...

"The last batch of
interview invites will go out after the first of the year."
So I guess it's safe to say that if you haven't sent in your secondary, then don't bother.
I'm assuming that if we don't get an interview invite by next week that it's sayanora OSU.
Here's hoping...
I have been complete since July, figured rejection. Received interview invite today (oos), although for March-likely for an alternate spot though.I haven't gotten an interview invite from OSU either. I was complete back in September, and my status has stayed the same since then: "AMCAS application received". Since it's now January 9th, I'm guessing I've been silently rejected - the least they could do is put me out of my misery, so I don't keep checking my status everyday!

Thanks. I have already been accepted to a school, so I wish I knew if it were for an alternate spot, but I guess I'll go anyway. It is closer to home and cheaper. Keep up hope, I honestly hadn't checked my status since November, I figured I'd been rejected.Congratulations! Even if it does turn out to be for an alternate spot, that's still great news. I'm so jealous
marked complete on 10/27...no word yet.
stats: in state, went to hopkins undergrad (crappy bcpm gpa), 28s, currently attending hopkins public health school getting a masters degree in the biochem dept...thoughts?
Oh man looks like that last batch of interview invites went out today and I missed out.
Has anyone else been deferred for a really long time? I interviewed in mid/late September and my status has been "Deferred-Decision pending" since 10/16. Call me crazy, but it seems to me like nothing is pending. You guys think "deferred" is worse than a WL decision at this point?
Has anyone accepted received the background check authorization yet? I haven't gotten the email, and it's been 4+ weeks....
I sure hope it's not worse; I'm in the same boat... They say they re-look at the applications each week, right? There have been a lot of weeks since the first "deferred"...
Yeah it's a little bit of a slap in the face to have to "wait" so long for a decision when all it means is that we aren't good enough. They should have just handed out rejections 3 months ago so we could get over it and move on. Also, I call BS on them looking at applications every week. They may look at new applications every week, but I feel like deferred applicants have been circular filed and they just haven't broken the news to us yet.
I emailed them last week in regards to the "deferred- decision pending" status. I got this:
It is possible to gain acceptance in the coming months. The time frame in which your decision could change is variable. However, please be assured that your application will continue to receive active and on-going consideration. We will go to our deferred candidates once the class size falls below the 210 expected entering students.
At the present time, it is too early to provide you with more details as to the possibility of gaining acceptance. I should know more at the end of May. However, please be aware that if you gain an acceptance after May 15, you will still be able to accept our offer. As you know, on May 15, you must select one school as your top choice and withdraw any other acceptances. If we offer you a seat in our class, you could accept our offer but would be required to withdraw from the one school where you are holding.
Welcome to the waitlist kiddies...
This process can be kind of frustrating... I'd like to have it straight: deferred? Waitlisted? Rejected? Just let me know!! I've got to be making some decisions here (whether it be for a new plan next year, even) and I'd prefer to make it on good info, not smoke and euphemisms....
I was deferred but I interviewed in September so I didn't receive any notice until Oct 16, the first day they were allowed to give us news. I did not receive a CBC from them. I believe that is only for accepted applicants.
Sorry to scare people, I don't really have important news. Just FYI, I called the admissions office this morning and asked a few questions about the deferred list (which I'm on).
The woman who answered the phone said the thinks that people on the deferred list should all be getting updates in ~2 weeks. I don't know if that means "in the next 2 weeks" or "2 weeks from now." Also, I asked if the deferred list was a worse place to be than the waitlist. She didn't know. Come to think of it, does OSU have a waitlist or have they just been deferring everybody?
just wanted to update everyone on what they said today at my interview in regards to accept/defer/waitlist:
they said they interview until mid-March. They have acceptances until then, so they accept fewer people so that there are chances of accept no matter when in the interview cycle you interview. If you are defered, that is not being waitlisted. It is equivalent to no news. They will continue to re-review your app throughout the cycle. After May 15th when people can only hold one acceptance, they will wait "until the dust settles", re-review who has not withdrawn and create a waitlist from there.

"Deferred - Decision Pending"
Hoping for better news next week I guess
I interviewed with Ohio State near end of September, and got a "deferred decision" status on Oct. 16. Then four months later (today), it changed and I got accepted! Don't give up if you have a deferred decision, they're still accepting people!
Good luck to all!
Same here! I interviewed on the very first day of the season and was deferred until this morning! Accepted! Wahoo! I thought I was going to have to wait until May 15 at least.I interviewed with Ohio State near end of September, and got a "deferred decision" status on Oct. 16.

Congrats. Did you send in any letters of update/intent during this period or did they just automatically accept u?
