I got deferred too. It seems like everyone so far has gotten accepted or deferred. No one posted about post-interview rejection yet

I'm having trouble checking my status...I went to the website listed in the email and logged in, but its telling me to go to another website, for which I don't have a password to go with my AAMC ID. Help? (sorry if this has been asked before)

Does OSU hand out rejections post-interview? Or is it only acceptance and defferal?

 

[thestrokes14]

EDIT: Status is back to normal...

 

[vb1]

That's weird, I just tried logging in to check my status and I'm getting an error...

Same

Yeah does anyone know? It seems like everyone who wasn't accepted gets deferrals so far

 

[Illinois2012]

They said they usually don't hand out rejections this early in the cycle, but it does happen rarely. My guess is you'd have to really mess up the interview pretty good to get an all out rejection this early.

Seems like last year most people did get deferred if they weren't accepted (myself included) but there were a couple SDNers who posted with a rejection so it has happened before as per last year's thread

Do they not hand out rejections this early because they interview more competitive people first?

does anyone know the best way to get from the CMH airport to Ohio State? would public transportation or taxi be better?

 

[Kira]

Interview invite this morning! Anyone else going to OSU on November 16th?

And to those getting acceptances, congrats!
How was the interview atmosphere?

 

[tiedyeddog]

Are there any OSU medical students on here that would be willing to answer a few questions for me via private message? Thanks in advance.

PM me if you still have questions, I'd be happy to help.

I'M IN!!!!!!! Ahhh

Congrats! Hope you choose to be a Buckeye!

does anyone know the best way to get from the CMH airport to Ohio State? would public transportation or taxi be better?

Taxi, in my opinion. There is a way to do it by bus, but I'm not sure how, to be honest.

 

[lilslsailor]

INTERVIEWING HERE DECEMBER 14!!!!! Couldn't be happier.... Columbus I hope you're prepared for a Wolverine!!

 

[Dartmouth2005]

Has anyone tried an in-the-area letter with OSU and been successful?

 

[SBAKSHI]

The best way would be taxi. Public transport will be way to complicated and you will have to change a couple of buses and wait and what not.
The cab usually takes ~$20. If you need some contact numbers of the cab companies, let me know!

Does anyone know if OSU accepts file updates after an II but prior to the interview? If so, in what format? Thank you!

Withdrew my acceptance from here today after getting into the school i'm 95% sure I'll matriculate at. Good luck to you all and I hope my spot goes to one of you!

God bless you, sir. I fell in love with OSU when I visited for interview day and I'm hoping for some good news in a couple of weeks.

2.5 weeks?

They gave me a date 2 months after i got the invite!

Invite in Sept for interview in Nov.


what is the format of the interviews? where can i go to find out?

 

[Bill Roth]

Is anyone else still not satisfied with the information being given about the new curriculum? I would like a sample schedule or something.

 

[DrShazam]

Anyone else interviewing Dec. 14? I am so excited.

 

[pre1973]

Interview invite Jan 9th!! So pumped cuz this is my first choice!!!

 

[tiedyeddog]

GO BUCKEYES!!!!!!!

 

[ohio12]

So Ohio State is my first choice and I submitted my secondary on 6/27. My GPA is a little below their average and my MCAT is above their average. I never received an e-mail saying my secondary was complete, but my status changed to application received. So I told myself everything is fine and I would patiently wait for an interview invite. Now it is 4 months later and I am concern my number one choice has placed me on hold. Is it in appropriate for me to call admissions and ask about my application?

 

[ohio12]

Thanks for the quick response, I'll be calling on monday.

 

[karmayogi]

GO BUCKEYES!!!!!!!

i grew up hearing "round on the ends and HI in the middle, O-HI-O"

be there weds!

 

[BSU]

Calls start tonight for my interview date

 

[ChrisMiamiU2012]

Me too...trying to keep my mind away from it for now.

 

[premed67783]

Who else agrees that it's pretty cruel of them to send out an email telling us to wait by our phones for a call that we might or might not get?

I was avoiding twitter for this reason.

You too!

Hey, at least it as a near definite time slot. I hate waiting on snail mail.

 

[premed67783]

what time does Dr. Capers STOP making acceptance calls? I'd like to know so I can go to sleep.

 

[lzane1243]

Has anybody heard anything??

 

[browntown99]

not yet and its killing me. anyone else?

 

[ChrisMiamiU2012]

I have not. I don't know what to think at this point.

 

[equinsu ocha]

Nothing here either

 

[premed67783]

the twitter says we'll all hear by november 8. Does that mean nov 8 at midnight? or just sometime during november 8?

 

[DavageSavage]

Yeah, I haven't heard yet either. Maybe he will be doing calls tomorrow?

 

[lzane1243]

biting my nails...

 

[Tron11]

Anyone heard anything?

 

[premed67783]

no one's heard anything yet?

 

[Tron11]

It doesn't seem like it. This is cruel.

 

[BSU]

It doesn't seem like it. This is cruel.

It's possible the people called aren't SDNers.

 

[lzane1243]

It's possible the people called aren't SDNers.

Theoretically (and I am by no means a stats person) , but shouldn't about 50% of us have heard based on pervious posts and data from the admissions office?

 

[premed67783]

It's possible the people called aren't SDNers.

It's POSSIBLE but unlikely that not one person called is a poster on sdn.
