Interviewing tomorrow! Hopefully I'll see some of you guys there. Good luck! 😎
Decision monday! Kinda nervous about the whole thing. Not making it better is the fact that I am working on three papers due in the next 2 days, and studying for 2 exams in the next 3 days! Pile on waiting for a phone call, and i'm jittery as heck!
In the library studying, but phone is on full ring anyway starting at 6PM EST since I don't want to miss it!
Sorry if this has been answered many times already, but does anyone know if OSU is still handing out interviews for spots in the class or if they are already onto waitlist spots? I was really hoping to interview here, but have heard nothing 🙁
Don't know if your question has already been answered - but I just got an interview invite today (12/21)!!
Edit: Interview invite is for 1/5/11 -- is it strange that it is so much earlier compared to the other ones?
IS, Mich grad, somewhat nontrad, 35 S, 3.5 gpa. Good research/volunteering. Strong interest in teaching/academic medicine.
OMGosh! I just got an interview invite for March! Is that too late to interview there and have a chance for automatic acceptance?
OS applicant/IS resident -- 32/3.6 -- submitted secondary mid July
Thank you! I looked at last years thread and saw one person post that they were accepted about two weeks after their mid March interview... so there is a chance! Which would be great. 🙂Dr. Capers assured us that they interview for acceptance (NOT straight for the waitlist) up through march.
I also talked to a current med student who said he got accepted from an interview in late feb.

thanks for the advice!!
so it seems that some people had very laid back interviews and some people had interviews that involved difficult ethical questions (hard for me). is it just luck of the draw as to which kind of interviewer you get?
how was the student interview?
So after the interview is over, how did you all get to the airport? Will admissions help us out by calling a cab? How can we call a cab if we don't know what time we will be done? Thanks for the help!

I'm pretty sure admissions was calling cabs for people when I interviewed.
Could anyone comment on the revised curriculum (being implemented on 2012) and how it is different from (in an advantageous way) the current one?
Also, after reading through the posts, it seems as though there is 1 faculty interviewer and 1 student interviewer?
Is there a class of 2015 community on either SDN or Facebook or something? Want to meet my future classmates!
Aren't they switching to a curriculum similar to CWRU's? If it is, then instead of having lectures, they would have a lot more emphasis on Problem Based Learning groups with only a couple hours of lecture a week. Material would be presented by studying a given case. Students, in groups supervised by a faculty observer, specify learning objectives, study the material on their own time, and present to the group.
1) I'm currently choosing btw Pitt, OSU and CWRU. If you also faced this choice (or something similar), what was it about OSU that reeled you in? I know there's a good bit of students who choose OSU over CWRU in particular, so I'd be curious to hear your reasons.
Ha - funny that someone mentioned the CAPS program. It was slightly different when I was there - they've actually combined two separate courses that we had to take into CAPS, in part because of criticisms that the separate programs didn't seem to know what the programs were doing and would often schedule stupid stuff during test weeks and/or all would have multiple things due at the same time. I can't think of anything that bothered me that probably wouldn't have bothered me at any med school. There are always stupid things that will annoy people, but you will have those anywhere.
2) What would you change about your school? Does anything bother you?
3) Conversely, what's your favorite aspect of OSUCOM?
4) What is mentorship like at OSU? If you know you want to go into Optho/Derm/Rads/ortho/whatever, is there a mechanism in place to help you find a mentor that will help you develop as a future residency candidate?
5) For the clinical years, did you find yourself dealing with any scut-work? Did OSU accommodate your need to schedule residency interviews by allowing time off? Were you satisfied with the level of responsibility you were given and did you find the evaluation process to be transparent and fair?
6) Here's a tough one: Do you think OSU will crack the USNWR top 20 by 2015? I know this is their explicit goal (from the mouth of the OSUMC CEO) and the University is behind it 100%, but I'm just curious how much of that is showmanship and how much is a reflection of the school's actual upward momentum.
did anyone else watch the sugar bowl?? What an exciting final 3 minutes.. My heart just about dropped when that punt got stuffed..
Pretty glad i didn't schedule my interview for tmrw because if i were in columbus right now, i most likely wouldn't be getting any sleep tonight.

I drove home! But I also live 11 miles up 315! The admissions office will ask you sometime during the day when your flight is, and a very logistically-impressive office member (don't remember her name) will minimize the number of cabs necessary so that the people who have flights at the same time can share a cab up to the airport.
Has any decision deferred people gotten "The Call" yet? I spoke with the admissions office and they said that they would review the decision deferred candidates again in early January...

A friend of mine interviewed in November and was given decision deferred status. She hasn't heard anything yet either.
