Deferring costs a student $250,000+ in future income. An unfortunate mistake, but I'm sure the 17 are grateful to have been accepted.

Actually, I'm not sure that math is exact. With the interest you save from not taking out an extra $50,000 in loans, in addition to the money you could make working that entire year, you probably won't be losing as much as you'd think. Though, you may very well make more your first year as a doctor. But the emotional benefits of having a year off between undergrad and medical school (if that's your scenario), all the while knowing your accepted (oh, and you don't have to worry about paying for your first year) is near priceless. It'd be tempting for me. I'm so sick of school.

Truth. A year off wouldn't necessarily be the worst thing in the world if it came with the peace of mind of knowing you got a spot the next year.

Clarification: they didn't accept anyone on the waitlist last year - those were all initial acceptances.

They extended interviews by a month last cycle.. I had my interview in early april, which is odd for OSU. I also got accepted and never put on the waitlist, I bet they won't be doing any interviews that late this year.

Good luck to everyone who is interviewing next week, relax and be yourself!

has OSU rejected anybody yet?

I'd be curious to know if they send out rejections after they finish interviewing (say March to April), or if they send them out before then.

I've been complete for about a month, but this was a reach for me. In state.

As previous years, they definitely reject before they finish interviewing
 
So uh... anyone with an interview hear back about student hosting yet?

I have one on the 14th (next Wednesday) and I haven't gotten anything besides an email asking for more info, and that was a week ago....
 
When was the 1st interview day here?
 
This is my absolute top choice. Do I have no hope if I have heard nothing and I was complete 7/5?
 
How receptive is this school to in the area emails? I am going to be in Ohio and would love to kill two birds with one stone
 
Hi all, I have a huge query and this could mean a lot to me. Could experienced students comment on this?

I am an undergrad, right here at OSU. I am being considered Instate for the UG education. I also graduated from a Ohio High school. I dont consider myself dependent on my parents for fees because I receive 100% loans, scholarships and grants. I pay Ohio taxes and my parents dont live in Ohio anymore.

Nevertheless, they are considering me an OOS. When I talked to them, they said this is because they think that I am dependent on my parents.
At the time of my AMCAS submission, my parents were living in Ohio.

Considering all this, will I be adjudged Instate only for admissions purposes? My AMCAS shows that I am a resident of Franklin county for past 3 years.
Thank you!
 
Hey folks,

I'm one of the 17 who got accepted and took OSU's generous deferment offer. Not only are they paying for my 1st year of med school, they're also paying my tuition for the MPH I'm doing this year. It was a pretty sweet deal since I was going to do the MD/MPH program anyway.

I just wanted to wish everyone good luck, and I can't wait to meet my future classmates next fall!

Good question. If anyone knows the answer, I would like to know myself as I will be rolling through Columbus on my way to Boonshoft.
 
Would one of the current M1's or M2's be able to provide a link to the current 2011-2012 Med School Academic schedule? I saw one but do not see the link anymore. It included all the dates, vacations, and test dates. Looking for the M1 and M2 schedule.
Thank you.
 
Had the interview today. This was my 4th. Amazing environment, absolutely positive attitude from everyone, just like Michigan. Very positive experience. Also met Dr Capers. 🙂
 
I was wondering if anyone else has encountered a similar situation:

I submitted my secondary on 8/20, and got an email today saying my status had been updated. I got all excited, but the status update is this:

"We received information from the American Medical College Application Service (AMCAS) that you have applied to the College of Medicine at The Ohio State University.

If you submitted the secondary application, you will see that it is listed as "received" on your status page.

If you have not submitted the secondary application, go to https://www.applyweb.com/apply/osumed/ where you will create an account and pay the $80 application fee on line.

Be sure to visit the Admissions web site at: http://www.medicine.osu.edu/futurestudents/admissions to view our admission requirements for completing your application file.

We look forward to reviewing your application materials."

They should have gotten my verified AMCAS on August 1st. 😕

Do you all think this might be a mistake?

Thanks!

I am pretty sure this is normal...as long as it says Received next to whether your secondary was submitted or not, you are fine. It's really irrelevant when they got your AMCAS; they only care about when you submit your secondary.
 
Same here. They said my status was updated today, but it looks the same as it has for the past few weeks.

Med 1 here. They are totally changing the curriculum for next year. I don't believe a schedule has been posted for the upcoming year. I could give you the 2011-2012 m1 and m2 schedules but I don't think they mean much for the class of 2016.
 
I am going to call the admissions office in the morning, I will let you know what they say!

bout time a med1 takes over the duty of answering questions 😎, I'm starting to forget what the application process is like haha
 
Now is the waiting game. Med school application process builds up your patience threshold. 🙂
 
for those of you who already interviewed, were you ever matched with a host? I'm starting to wonder if I should book a hotel...
 
Congratulations to those who just received interviews! Do you mind sharing when you submitted the secondary/when you were 'confirmed'?

Are you sure you are doing it right?? I had this same problem and called the admissions office last year... Totally wasn't using the last letter of my last name, I was embarrassed to say the least.

For those who already attended an interview, do you have any suggestions for booking a hotel? Also, how did you get from the airport to your hotel and from your hotel to the interview? It looks like some of the hotels have shuttles...maybe...but I don't know which one to go with.

Thanks!
