Looks like we are about to diverge past the 2006 numbers. Doesnt look good from here...
for everybody still waiting.
for everybody still waiting.
I may be wrong but I don't think people were concerned about just speculating, but actually making "bets" with a prize being coffee or something. Otherwise hopefully it gets far for those still waiting 🙂
Everyone is looking at the same numbers here--what does that graph tell you? I'm keeping my fingers crossed for 90 and above, but that slope is pretty shallow.
I added some trend-lines here, but I dont think they are very helpful. What I think would really help, is to create trend-lines for the numbers of days which have past since waitlist movement started, then compare those trends, to the trends with the same waitlist movement we have had so far. I dont have time to do all that, but for people that really care, it might be a good analysis, as long as those initial trends seem to match the final numbers for their corresponding years, if that were the case, we could get some pretty solid projections from this.
I can upload the excel file if anybody wants.

Hey did any of you apply with an mcat verbal of 8?... I can't tell if that'd be below the cutoff for OHSU. (P=12,V=8,B=11; 31Q)🙁fr=2.33, so=3.0, jr=3.5, sr=4.0). Also I took the mcat back in march 2010. I'm wondering if it'll be worth applying to OHSU this coming app cycle. Any insight is greatly appreciated!
Keep hanging in there all... I'm waitlisted at another school so I feel for you guys too...

Depends on if you are in-state or OOS. If you are in-state, your 31 MCAT would be just about average. If you are OOS, then you need to consider this from the OHSU admission website
It puts you out of the competitive category, unless you meet one of the other criteria for "mission based groups"
Good luck to you. I hope you get off your waitlist this year so you don't have to go through this again.

I got in with a P of 8.. stupid timing mistake (had ample time, just thought I was almost done with the section..) Anyway you still stand a very decent chance if you 're in state..
My understanding is that only 30% of your overall application score is academics, seeing that you got a 31 on your mcat, it wont hurt you much overall.. My GPA was probably lower than yours as well. Just make sure you have good LORs, and plenty of them. Also, make sure you have good experience with actual meaning. I think these things are more important at OHSU than academics. Also, take plenty of mock interviews.
Thanks for the replies!! - I'm WA resident... so this is gonna be trickier than I thought. 😛

Are you by any chance considering the MD/PhD program? If you have a couple years of research (or if you're doing research in your time off), that could help you get an interview at OHSU.
I agree. That would be very sad and very strange. Hopefully it keeps moving well into July and August for those still waiting 🙂
Well here's to the first week of no movement! They must really not want to let me in 😛
If you look at the trends, there have been numerous times with long droughts of waitlist movement.. hang in there!
So they can tell you there hasn't been movement on the WL because there hasn't been movement?...
I know it is hard but try to stay positive. There have been past years with no movement for 2 weeks then it moved again. There is still over a month left for the list to move. Good luck to everyone still waiting!
That's awesome! If I recall correctly you were 62 so congratulations!
My portal still shows 61. The WL hasn't moved
hmainn is number 62. He/she probably got an e-mail saying they were accepted but the portal just hasn't been updated with the information yet. Give it a couple days and I'm sure it will change.

Congratulations hmainn!
It might be a good idea to add the excel file so it can be updated since its mid July. Also, woohoo 64! Good job OHSU. Keep the ball rolling.
The portal is now at 65! Good luck everyone!
I hope I attached it right!
Thanks, I saved it and I'll pull it back out for next year's thread in May.

You should join the facebook group. People in the group are still looking for housing and talking among each other. That would be your best bet to find a roommate. Congratulations and welcome to the class!
I'm still looking for housing....and I'm not on Facebook...just hoping to get lucky on craigslist etc.
You might want to get on facebook. It's been an incredible tool for us. I feel like not being part of the facebook group will leave you out of quite a few student activities.
And there have been a few people who were also posting about housing on facebook, it would be a helpful tool in your place.
Yeah I think youre probably right. I have avoided it for so long! Would you mind posting the link to the 2016 page?
