Application complete here on 9/28. 5 weeks complete and have yet to hear anything from this school. I am in state with average stats. Is this about normal?

Taken from OUWB's twitter feed from 6 days ago "A quick adcom update: Still need to review two applicants from 10/5, several from 10/19 and all from 10/30. Next meeting is 11/7."

Keep the faith, just because you don't get an initial offer doesn't mean you're out of the running. Good luck! :luck:

I'm hoping that I'm one of the 2 10/5 applicants haha.
 
HFH is a great hospital. They have a different patient mix than even BRO and my first thought would be that it could positively expand the opportunities available to OUWB med students. Not sure if it would negatively impact WSU, especially in light of WSU's involvement with Vanguard.

I'm currently an M2 at OUWB. I recently met with my research team at Beaumont involved in my Capstone project, and the team is already in the process of collaborating with the comparable department at HFH, which will effectively double my patient data for my project. I think you're right that our opportunities have expanded 🙂

Pretty sure that's talking about interviewed applicants.
 
I had my interview at Oakland 11/5. Hopefully I'll be getting some good news today. This is the only interview offered to me so far this year.

Good luck Lurv! I am in the same boat, interviewed October 30.
 
OMG just received the phone call! Good luck to everyone out there, this is definitely my top choice!
 
Gah, passed up again.

Congrats to Lucidity and anyone else accepted this round! And good luck to the rest of those still waiting!
 
grats guys! Remember it's not over until the rejection letter comes. Keep your hopes up!
 
Quick question - are interviews open or closed file? Sorry if this has already been mentioned somewhere and I didn't see it. Thanks!

they are "semi-open", meaning that your interviewer will have your amcas and essays, but will not have your MCAT and GPA
 
Woohoo! II over the weekend, just when I was thinking it was getting to be too late.

Congrats!! Hope it goes great! If you don't mind, when were u complete? I've been complete for 8 weeks so just wanted to gauge where they might be at

I was complete early September (9-10 weeks ago). Sounds like they maybe have just started getting to the September bunch. Hope you hear something soon too!
 
Just came back from my interview this past Friday. Dean Grabowski is super friendly and it's clear that the school really does make an effort to have the interview day be relaxed and enjoyable.

REALLY hoping for some good news come December!! Good luck to all those in the same boat

This is great to hear! Can't wait for my upcoming interview.
 
Does OUWB send rejections? Also, does OUWB actually send e-mails to confirm completion? I received an e-mail saying my app was complete right after I paid for the secondary in late August and am getting worried. :cry:

There have been people that have been rejected pre-interview and post-interview from OUWB on this thread, so yes, OUWB does send rejections. If you received an email say your app was complete, then you were complete. I did not get anything separate. Go check your applicant portal to make sure everything is checked off green. If it is, you are fine, and just need to wait.
 
The Committee meets tomorrow. Good Luck Everyone!

That's awesome, congrats!! I also interviewed on Nov 9th but unfortunately no call today.

Good luck to all those still waiting! Two more weeks until any more news...

The admissions committee meets the first, third, and fifth (if there is one) Wednesday of every month. They usually make the calls that day or the next as far as I know.
 
II just now! There was a date open this Friday but I have to work 🙁. Next open date was in January.

For those who want to know:
Complete late aug, 3.7, 33O, OOS.

I hear good things about this school so I can't wait!

Their interview day is definitely impressive, congrats on the II.
 
Admissions committee meets in one week, fingers crossed for good news!!:xf:
 
How so? If you don't mind sharing.

It just was a great interview day. It was long but it gave me a very positive impression of OUWB. The admissions staff are very warm and you can tell that the faculty are excited to teach their students. On top of that there is the integrative curriculum, the great clinical training at Beaumont, and the Capstone project. I can go on but just keep an open mind during your interview day and good luck!

P.S. - sorry about not responding sooner I did not see this response.

Sounds great! Wish I didn't have to wait so long :/. I can't wait!
 
For those that have sent updates...do you guys upload the update and then email admissions to notify them or is just the upload enough? Also, I haven't heard back for a while so does sending Fall 2012 grades (when they come out mid December) sound good? Hoping they're open to these things since they have a section for them
 
good luck to all those waiting to hear for potential acceptances tomorrow!

+1. :luck: Interviewed late November, hoping for some good news from OUWB! Loved the entire interview day.
 
When are calls delivered typically in past adcom mtg days? 4PMish?
 
So anxious! High hopes for all of us waiting to get "the call"
 
I think closer to the end of the day after the adcom meeting. I had a missed call this morning and I almost had a heart attack but then I saw it was just a friggin' telemarketer.

It depends from my understanding you could get called later in the day or the next day, I got mine around 4pm. Check the OUWB admissions twitter, Christina Grabowski is pretty good about updating it with admissions info.
 
Good call. From the twitter account, looks like calls are going out as of one minute ago!!! Good luck everybody!!
 
Twitter update makes me think the calls might be over for today. Someone from my interview date (11/16) got the call like 15 minutes ago.
