It's at 42!
You guys think we'll still see some pretty good movement after Friday? I mean there has to be some people with low numbers on the list that who already had acceptances and didn't bother to mail in a response and will withdraw by default?

Thanks, Lady!! I look forward to congratulating you next year, too!!
Congratulations everyone! So much good news lately! 🙂
In answer to this, I find it annoying that we are graded, but I don't feel like we're competitive at all. There is likely some competition among a few, but I think you'd always see that among the top few students, whether they are assigned grades or not. In general, it is a very cooperative class. We share study notes with each other and work together a lot.
The grading adds to my own personal stress, but I really don't see any competition or back stabbing.
Hope that helps!

Somehow I missed the post by the user going by "TheREAL61." I was contacted by "TheREAL61" and I've edited my post... Obviously, this internet business is messy and who knows what to believe so I'd just rather not be involved in any of that drama... but good luck to all 🙂
Hot diggity-dog! See you on facebook! (OHSU Med 2015)
(Congratulations! They must be impressed with your killer abs!)
So how long does OHSU give you to respond to the acceptance offer off the waitlist? Surprisingly my number is coming very close but I am trying to figure out what I am going to do.
Is your excitement for your other acceptance waining?
(duplicate)

Not really. I'm going to be really conflicted if they get to my number (and at this point I kinda think they will).
i am so over this whole process.
I totally understand that! My reflux over the pins and needles of the months of waiting has been oppressive. At least, when they get there, it'll be in your hands what to do.
Pick OHSU! We all know AZ is too hot!
I suspect that dynasty12 has hit the nail on the head...
I've heard it from a reliable source (and also it's been discussed here on SDN... I think Chuck84 mentioned it as well) that OHSU is more willing to hand out acceptances to out of state applicants these days. But if they don't take those spots, that translates into a fast-moving waitlist.
which I am glad of, since I am an out of stater...haha. Pulling for everyone though, and super excited to be at OHSU next year!
So happy that your number finally came up! 😀
Hey congrats Gara!!! I bet it feels even better since you started out so pessimistic to be surprised with this win.
Good luck to everyone else still waiting, there is definitely still hope!
Thanks! and good luck with your next round. Maybe I'll see you next year or maybe you'll end up somewhere sunny? 🙂
Hah expecting the worst has down well for me during the undergrad (not necessarily for my health though).
Thanks for the luck too. I mean... do you need it back right away? 😉
See you in August!
Hah so glad I don't have to worry about that school anymore(and it's ~100K/year expenses). I just read on your MDapp that you're pretty sure you're going to get in there (if they ever make up their freaking minds) Either way congrats on your acceptances!
Portal still says 51. I bet some of the students who received offers earlier this week will need a few days to decide. How long did they give you to respond?
It didn't actually give me any sort of time line. It only sort of alluded to forms which will be sent in the mail in the next few weeks. Other than that they only said nothing further is required on my part.

That's what I got too. They said it would take about 4 weeks for me to get the papers. Why that much time is required is beyond me....
List is to 53 now. Please, one more person withdraw, I'm 54!
Nooooo! I don't like sunshine. I'll be hoping for somewhere rainy or foggy! 😍
took me over 5 weeks to get the papers. once you get the contract, you have two weeks to respond.
👍👍👍I had sunny and opted for rain!We are a family of Fitzpatrick skin Type 1's!😛
I had sun and 120 degree heat and I gave it up for Oregon but now I want it back because I refuse to wear a rain coat... I do enjoy fog though...
Accepted this morning! #60
Cool! Are you taking it over AZ?
Congrats!!
Anyone know how long the waitlist is?
How do we schedule and exit interview?
Call Mae Culbertson at 503-494-9904 and leave a voicemail.

Accepted! #69
Hello angry person- you got in and now you need not complain any longer, time to put those over-developed credentials you have told us so much about to work in med school! Nice!
She actually made it clear that this was in fact someone else using her account.
