Yes. I guess some of us were so bad, they couldn't wait to wash their hands of us. Makes you wonder what positives they saw on paper, and how sincerity and passion sunk us.

Yikes... I hope the buckeyelink isn't showing my entire fin aid package. If it is, then I'm actually getting significantly more financial aid from the private schools I'm considering, which would be weird. Maybe this OOS-er won't be enjoying the legendary football saturdays after all...

How is everyone viewing financial aid? When I click on "View financial aid", all it shows is a Stafford promissory note...
Did you get Sam Matheny's e-mail yesterday? If so, go to www.buckeyelink.osu.edu and follow his directions to activate your account. Once you recieve the confirmation of your account's activation from OSU (via e-mail), return to www.buckeyelink.osu.edu and click on "Financial Aid Status." Log-in with your new username and you should find some fin aid info on the pages that follow. GL.
Click on the "Award Summary" tab.
hah, I'm an idiot. Got it. Thanks.
I have nothing posted for me under this tab. I guess they're still working on mine.
it's written on one of the letters contained within the hardcopy acceptance package that you received in the mail.
I am so excited to be coming to OSU! And not just for the football! I plan on doing research in neuro-oncology and their cancer and immunology programs are top-notch. One of the program directors mentioned to me that of all schools he has worked at in his 30+ career, he is convinced OSU is #1 in the amount of nights eating out. Ha, the reasoning for this is OSU is recruiting top faculty like crazy (I mean look what Dr Stephen Gabbe did for Vanderbilt over this past decade), and they have the money to do it! I am really excited and was wondering if anyone had any general advice on balancing medical school classes with research, specifically for the ISP program.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Hang in there guys and gals!! Hope you get the call!!!

Yeah I was wondering the same, I see a lot of deferred people posting on the boards. Dr. Capers did mention that 15 people or so had been accepted off the deferred list when I interviewed March 14...But I suppose thats not an extraordinarily high number of folks
He said the exact same thing last wednesday when I interviewed... that about 15 people have gotten off.
LEFTY13, GOZAGS, DRAGONFLY11, and KS2011..HANG IN THERE!!!! When I thought it was over I walked away from my phone and started watching tv.Lo and Behold a couple minutes later I came back to a missed call and the best Voicemail of my life.Stay Positive!!
I interviewed on Apr. 13 and still no call. Also about to lose hope on this one. 🙁🙁🙁
Yo, Dr. Capers!
Instead of extending out more interview invites, just accept me. And then you can save the thumb drives for next year.
kk thx

Hey OSUMC2014, do you have any idea how often they review deferred applicants?
Welcome to the class of 2015!!! Congratulations!!!!!!! Being an undergrad buckeye myself, I completely understand the dream come true feel. like Bush in 2004... 4 MORE YEARS!!! except w/o the eventual disappointment i hope LOL
I was wondering the same thing (got deferred this morning). I know they've accepted about 15 people so far. But, I'm not sure how many people are in the deferred pool and how many get acceptances and how often.
Lefty, don't lose hope. Something might work out for you, yet. If not this year, maybe next.
why does "deferred" sound so much scarier than wait list?
does anyone have an idea what percentage of people eventually get accepted after being deferred?

does Ohio State over-enroll? (...or over-accept, I'm not sure how to phrase it)
No, most schools just accept to the class limit, then as ppl withdraw they accept more from waitlist or deferment etc
Are you asking if Ohio St. initially accepts more people than the class size? If so, then the answer (for every medical school for that matter) is yes.
It seems like medical schools have a very good idea of how many people they need to accept to fill their class. I believe that most schools usually over accept by as much as 2x the class size (depending on the school and data from previous years). They will usually start pulling from the waitlist once the class dips below the entering class size.
All of this is, of course, is school dependent, but every school over accepts by a certain amount (especially schools that commonly accept applicants that garner multiple acceptances). I believe that UVA over-accepted by too much last year, not as many people withdrew as they were expecting, and they had to ask people to defer for a year. I believe those who deferred were allowed to pursue a masters without paying tuition.
