Take me off the deferred list!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂
Me too!!!!
Take me off the deferred list!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂
Same!!!!
Hahaha at least you have an acceptance somewhere! I'm sitting on three waitlists, no acceptances, and I'm waiting to hear back from Harvard (but that's almost certainly not going to happen). I'd love to get off of any of those waitlists!
Sorry for your luck, but I feel your pain. However, I have you beat with the bum luck story: 6 waitlists, waiting to hear back from 3 schools, an interview tomorrow, and one next Tuesday (for a waitlist spot, of course). I forgot to mention: no acceptances. I never that thought with relatively good numbers, ECs, and people skills (at least I'd like to think so) that I'd be sitting with 11 interviews and no acceptances in mid-March. What a process....Hahaha at least you have an acceptance somewhere!

Do they evaluate deferred applications on a weekly or monthly basis? The deferred letter on medSTAR said weekly, but I've heard people say only monthly.
I've already sent of letter of intent. Was this too early? Maybe I should send another one closer to May, too?

You have had TWENTY (20!!!) interviews?!? and only heard back from 6???? That's amazing. So within the next three weeks, you're about to get 14 more post-interview decisions?
Yep, and most of the MIAs/holds are rolling schools so it doesn't look pretty at this point in the game. 3 of them I can understand since they were recent and I have one this Monday likely for a waitlist spot. I don't know if I'd say it's amazing but more like a mix of depressing (in terms of expenses especially) and confounding.
I hope something good happens within the next 3 weeks because I'm starting a job in April and putting med school in the rear-view mirror indefinitely by then.
You know, there are such things as waitlists.... I smell troll.
I have an interview March 31st which I'm pretty sure is the last interview day. Does anyone know if they are interviewing anyone this late for actual spots or are they just interviewing for waitlist positions?
I think everyone is given a fair shot at acceptance regardless of when you interview.
Fair in which sense. By this late in the cycle all schools have already made enough offers at least equal to their class size.
Hey you go to cedarville?? we play you guys all the time in soccer, I always wondered if anyone else on here went to a small school like that besides me haha
So much for bein anonymous anymore haha, I go to Indiana Wesleyan
Hey Cedarville and IWU people! I'm at Taylor! I run cross country and track though...not a soccer person. Nice to see other small Christian school people on the forum! Best wishes to you guys! I interviewed last week and am waiting on a reply. 🙂
taking longer than 10 business days to get back to me.. Unnerving!
No call last night, can I assume it'll be waitlist or rejection?
any news for when ppl start getting off holds?
I would love to know this too. Anyone have an estimate for the timeline of when those of us who are deferred might hear back?
I would imagine probably after May 15th.🙁
So has anyone who interviewed March 8th heard anything yet? Or is that the group that should know by the end of this week?
Really?? We have to wait that long?? Why did the letter tell us they'd be reviewing us so frequently then?
so who's coming to second look?
Hopefully that's not necessarily the case 🙂 When I called the admissions office just now about some other things, I asked when I might hear and they said "hopefully before the end of this week." Seems odd, but we'll see!
Yeah, still no update on the status page...guess their timeline gets weird this close to the end of interview season. I interviewed March 1st, so I'm guessing they were referring to that group when you called, right?

anyone else get an email asking for parental marital status because you are being considered for a scholarship? anyone know about this?
Yeah, I got one. I think it's for the up-to-$6000 need-based scholarships. Since the FAFSA doesn't require you to report both your biological parent's income if they're divorced, OSU is asking for this information from those with divorced parents.
so who's coming to second look?
did anyone get an e-mail confirmation when they registered over medstar? or did it just say that you were confirmed on medstar?
Yup I also interviewed on March 1st. Still no update for me either. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one though, so thank you for posting 🙂

I talked to the admissions office the other day and asked about this. She said that some people are going to be getting admitted off the deferred list in mid-April, after the last interviews are finished. After that, anyone who was still deferred will be officially waitlisted. If that's the case, then you probably won't hear anything back until May 15th.
Good luck getting off! I just sent a letter of intent in today.
I think they try to let you in as soon as they know they have spots open.
As of today 391 people are accepted for roughly 210 spots(I know from second look info). So they have to wait for people to decline their acceptance and go to other schools etc. May 15th is the day when applicants can only hold one more acceptance...so that's when all the action starts to happen.
Don't worry it'll get below 210 eventually👍
