yes, wearing a big coat would be perfectly acceptable. We will hold your coat until the tour, no worries.

Also, there are a couple of decently close hotels. Varsity Inn on Olentangy is close, as is the red roof inn also on Olentangy. Very short cab/car rides.

Great! Thanks! 🙂 hopefully they'll get back to me about student hosting soon!

can we take anatomy prerequisite pass/fail?

Torredchally, just contact the admissions office with the course you're taking (and from what university). The office may ask you to fax or e-mail over the course syllabus, but they'll be able to give you a definite answer. Good luck with everything!
 
Does OSU defer every interviewee that isn't accepted outright?

I believe so. At least from the sample size of SDN, I don't think I have seen anyone here report that they were outright rejected post-interview.

Do ppl just cab it from the hotels to the campus? OSU is ginormous

Kind of a tease to go to a second look weekend if you do not wind up getting in. However, attending a second look while on the waitlist may not necessarily be such a bad idea since it demonstrates continued interest in the program and may give you something to write about in a letter of interest. Having said that, I was I was accepted off of the waitlist in May 2012, not having attended the second look weekend.

I think that second look weekend is generally for people who have already been excepted unless someone else has heard otherwise from OSU.

Generally that's true, but Ohio State doesn't seem like the type of place that would turn away waitlisted applicants who wished to attend.
 
Anyone get the newsletter? It says 26 people have been accepted so far who were initially deferred. That's a lot more than I was expecting. I hope I still have a chance.

i was in the same boat- i didn't hear back at all either way, so i emailed them last night. woke up this morning with a reply email with the host's information... dunno if you've already booked a hotel by now but i'd try emailing the coordinator people first!
 
I'm interviewing on Monday- does anyone have general impressions/tips from their interview day? I'm starting to get nervous, and would love to learn as much about the interview day before I walk into it. Thanks in advance!

I got my host info!! Got it yesterday morning--I cancelled my hotel so I'm good to go!

I'm excited for my interview! OSU is great. I interviewed here two years ago but was sadly deferred. hoping for better chances this time around! See you Monday 😛
 
Anyone know when the next set of acceptances are going to be sent out? I don't know how the holidays messed with the schedule.
 
Sorry if this was already asked but do they do silent rejections? I haven't heard anything from them at all since I sent in my secondary and now my supplemental application is gone? It says that the application is unavailable now and that I should check the submission timelines. Really confused here!
 
Does anyone know if there are any interview spots left or how long they interview? I'm instate with scores above their averages and I haven't heard anything yet.

did they tell you at your interview? I just interviewed this monday and they specifically told us the exact date we would hear a decision
 
Jan 23/24 I believe. Check their twitter! @OhioStateMed 🙂
 
II this morning! I submitted my secondary the absolute last day, so I'm very surprised. Scheduled for 2/18. 😀 They originally had mine set for March 4th, so they probably have some spots left.
 
Has anyone received any financial aid offers yet?
 
Hey there hopeful OSU peeps! I was just checking back in with dear old SDN after being away for awhile, and I'm glad to see it is going well. I was in the OSU class of 2009, just finished a Pediatrics residency at Duke, and am now out in practice in Utah. My 2 cents, I loved OSU, Columbus, and the time there. It was always a forward-thinking program, and while some of the leadership has changed, I'm sure that is still true. Best of luck to everyone!
 
OOS interviewing Feb 13th... waiting to be assigned a student host.


This may be my last interview of the season!!! :whoa:

Update: this is not my last interview LOL

I still haven't heard anything from OSU and was complete in October. I know they interview through March, but does anyone know how many interview dates are still available?

Congrats! Were you deferred or just straight accepted?

I'm jealous, Ahhh! Keeping my fingers crossed that maybe they're still making calls and that maybe I'll get lucky.
