Yeah, I visited that page. You're right about that 1 year clause, but there's also this other peculiar statement:
Makes sense. I was hopeful; but that bubble has now burst. Oh well, thanks for the link DAPI.
Oh dear lord, I'd never make that commute! I was just hoping it'd help my cause of desperately trying to get an interview here. Me. Love. Ore-gone. 🙂
Something like this happened to a friend of mine. He submitted 1-2 days late and they accepted his app anyway. Best to contact them to be sure, and just explain what happened.
That was one of the times they rejected him, but he's an M1 there now.
They neither answer the phone nor return calls. Email is your best bet, unfortunately.
Good to know, thanks!
It's impossible by phone. By email, especially when $95 is on the line, is a different question... 😉
Don't dilly-dally, but don't do a half-ass job either. They really really value their secondary essay questions.
After submitting my app to some schools that take 2009 MCAT scores in late August, I was all but ready to just move on. And then at the eleventh hour I, uh, sorta lost my mind. I registered for a September MCAT, crammed for 7 days, and retook that damn thing like a rabid Honey Badger. I got my score today and while it ain't pretty, it's a valid 2012 score. 👍
Following up on my post from August 9th:

Added OHSU to my schools list today. They're not going to get rid of me that easily.
The long and bloody saga continues...
They said that the first few rounds should hear back within 4-6 weeks. If you meet the acceptance cutoff you will be accepted right away, and same for the rejection cutoff. Otherwise you'll be placed on hold, probably until May when they release the wait list. Sounds like the acceptance cutoff is pretty high, so a lot of us will be on hold.
I know the feeling. Just try your best to knock the interviews out of the park, it is a very heavy portion of their determining score.That is what I am afraid of happening. When I interview in two weeks, I feel like telling the interviewers "just accept me, reject me, do whatever. I don't care as long as it is not putting me on hold."

I already have two acceptances, and waiting to hear back from a third school. I don't have time to wait around for OHSU to pull the wait-list shuffle in May. I will have already made plans to move by then.

From what I understood, they assign each interviewee a numeric score based on interview and application. It's heavily weighted towards the scores on the MMI, but also includes academics and ECs. There may be a breakdown explained somewhere. So, everyone gets a score and that is how they decide who is admitted. If you're above a cutoff you get automatically admitted, otherwise you wait until they review more of the on-hold applicants.
FYI, they make you sign a NDA so there's not much people can share about the process.
