Silent,
When is your interview date?
Also, has anyone been successful rescheduling their interview? I'm looking to have my interview earlier. How many interview per day?
Thanks
My interview date is Oct. 25th. =)

How long did it take your status page to reflect that you submitted your secondary? Does it ever show that your LoRs are received, or does it just list the "about" link?
When I go back to the supplemental app portal, it says lists the day/time of submission under "completed" and that the data was sent/received/confirmed. Yet on the medSTAR status page, my current status is "AMCAS Application Received/Awaiting Submission of Secondary application."
I just don't know if I'm technically completed yet and my app is in the stack

Yeah, their "status update" doesnt really tell us much. Mine also just says "sent/received/confirmed"... what log in info. did you use for the medSTAR status page?
your log-in name is your amcas id. your password is the first letter of your first name, the last four digits of your amcas id, the LAST letter of your last name, followed by the first two digits of your amcas id.
no, i've heard of them interviewing in april. however most of those people i know got waitlisted if that counts for anything.
btw... anyone have insight on how fast your status changes after you submit to reflect receipt of the secondary on the main status page?
I might not be a typical case, but the day after I submitted my secondary I received a call from the Dean congratulating me on an interview and the day after that they changed my status on their website.
Anyone else interviewing on the 13th of October? Got the invite today, not gonna lie I had a major freak out because it was my first one! I am so stoked on it right now! Can't wait!!
wow! congratulations!! that must've been so exciting. good luck on your september interview 😎
finally, it reflected they received my secondary, although no interview invite yet haha. they're probably totally flooded with apps by now

you have to complete the requirements by matriculation. hence juniors are able to apply to schools without taking a fourth of their planned coursework.
congrats on the interview though! hopefully you'll be given a reason to squeeze in an anatomy class!
i was pretty surprised by the new anatomy requirement bc i never took anatomy. well, if we get interviews, then maybe taking that last class will be worth it
ha. thanks . very annoying that it wasn't on here.

my friend, you were looking at oregon health and science university as indicated on the stationary.
osu =/= ohsu
I actually just looked at the link posted above and the one I'm looking at states Anatomy is "strongly recommended", not required. It does specifically state that one semester of Biochem is required for the entering class of 2011, though. I wonder if they decided to back off on the Anatomy requirement.
the anatomy requirement got taken down...
yesterday i was on here, saw a post about it, looked on ohio state's website and sure enough it was a requirement... but its not on the site anymore... which im happy about bc i never took anatomy and was worried about not having it since seeing it on the website.
wow yea, that just changed...good! don't wanna miss out on all the non trads!
other people have probably already noticed this- the class profile page that is posted on the website (http://medicine.osu.edu/students/admissions/Documents/2009 Profile Sheet.pdf) is the 2009 entering stats. The post-interview acceptance rate for 2010 entering class was lower. They interviewed 879 (I think) and made 444 admissions offers.
This week is employee appreciation week at OSU Med Center, and the college of medicine had a little info tent (along with some other departments) in the courtyard for an event today. They had a 2010 version of the class profile pdf printed onto a poster.
Just thought I'd let anyone know who was curious.
ahhhh! i just got a call from Dr. Capers, and right after we finished our introduction, the battery on my phone died! the frantic search for my charger was probably the scariest minute of my life. I called back. No answer! So I left a message. I am so scared right now. Did I just blow it?
I'm sure it won't make a difference in your application at all, I doubt they'd hold a dropped call against you. Congrats on the interview though!
On a side note, if we haven't heard back yet and were complete early July, is it safe to assume bad news? 🙁

just hang in there, and dont stress too much. I wouldnt assume anything yet, after all, there is still a LONG time to go
RIGHT? homeboy called me 10 pm last night while i was getting my relaxation on. He sounds very cool. 9/29...anyone else?. 3.4 gpa instate appy complete Tuesday. WAH.
i'm instate too. no interview. do you mind giving you mcat stats and when you were complete?
congrats!!
may i ask if that was the earliest available interview? or did it better fit a travel schedule, being out of state?

i didn't even think of changing! i'll look back into it.
I read somewhere in another thread that at OSU, the committee meet with the interviewers the very afternoon after the interview and make the decision on the candidate. If this is true, does that mean LOI's are pointless?
I'm an OOS applicant interviewing here, and I"m wondering if OOS people have worse chances post-interview than IS? If that's the case, I was hoping an LOInterest could help my case, but I guess not if they make the decision on the very same day.

LOI's are for people who are waitlisted, not for people who they have not made a decision on yet, so no LOI's are not pointless
In bed by 10:30. I haven't made it to sleep before 2 since before high school.
Is anyone else having trouble logging into medstar. I used my amcas id and the formula for the password of first letter of first name, last 4 digits of amcas, first letter of last name, first 2 digits of amcas. And got nothing.

I had printed out the old sheet (attached) because I didn't know the requirement was there.
Are they reading up on SDN?

I never had a complete status. It went from "received" to "Interview Invitation"
