II today! I thought for sure it was a rejection since the email said my status changed and nothing else. Stats are 32/3.6 and OOS. This school looks sweet I'm really excited to check it out.

I'd rather not get too specific for anonymity sake, but I have lots of research, shadowing, and volunteer EMT experience. Sorry if that doesn't really help. I have absolutely no connections to Ohio though.
 
This is school is great! I interviewed here last friday. Loved the interview style. I can honestly say I had fun and I really feel like I got to be ME!
 
Is there a facebook group for those who have been accepted??

That does help some. I have similar stats so your invite give me hope. I have 31/3.7 with a year of research, lots of volunteering, shadowing, etc. 😀 :xf:
 
Can anyone who had an interview recently tell me when they were told they would get a decision? I interviewed 3 weeks ago and still havent heard from them. I feel they pushed me back to another adcom group for review. My status says no final final decision has been made and that it can take up to 8 weeks to get a decision... Im not sure if this means im on the alternate list.

Hmm.. They said 3 weeks and that they aren't behind with making decisions.. I would say look past this week since it's a holiday week.
 
Does anyone know when the 11/9 interview group is supposed to hear?
 
Just got an interview. Does anyone know how long it will last? It starts at 9 AM and I kinda have something going on at 2 PM but the UC website says to plan on being on campus til 5 PM. Is this an accurate estimate?

Yeah I don't think it'll be an issue as long as you maintain A's/B's but a C/D might result in you having to explain yourself.
 
Is UC good about giving financial aid/scholarships to OOS-ers? I'm considering canceling my interview, but if there's a chance I could get money, I'll do the interview.

Not sure how much money they give out, but you will most likely be instate after your 1st year or instate+$250 if you decide to live in NKY starting your 1st year.
 
ACCEPTED TODAY! Complete like mid-september, interviewed 11/16. ACCEPTED today! This is my first acceptance and my second choice school.
 
Congrats!! If you don't mind my asking, what's your first choice?

Aid doesnt depend on residence, its need-based. Based off of your parents income, even if you are independent for FAFSA. However, after your first year at UC you can qualify for IS tuition. They give you some form and there are a couple of qualifications, but I have heard most, if not all, OOS-ers take this route.

At my interview day they also let us know that they give out merit based scholarships to only 10% of students, everything else is a loan either from the school or the federal government.
 
Accepted Today!

Interviewed Tues 11/27, found out today.
 
Alternate so disappointed this was my top choice-- anyone remember when he said wait list starts moving?

I was top 1/3 alternate listed last year. (You find your rank in May IIRC).


It began moving about June 1 and moved through about mid July.

Did you feel that most of the top 1/3 were accepted in the end? How much "movement" is there?

I know several people who were top 1/3 WL who were accepted. I don't have the exact numbers, but can tell you that the movement really does vary every year.

They don't pull off the wait list by straight rank, much of it is demographic based to fill holes in their class.

From memory I do remember most of the movement being in mid-late June.

Yup. The Dean said this pretty much verbatim at the interview day. For example, if they need more non-trads in their class they will pull non-trads off first 1/3, but then will take non-trads off the second 1/3 (or 2/3) before they take a trad from the top 1/3.
 
Waitlisted last week. Super bummed, I loved this school. Hopefully an LOI will change their minds about me.
 
I'm sorry to hear that. Mind saying when you interviewed?
 
Interview invite yesterday (12/11) for this coming Friday (12/14)! Complete 9/1. In-state, 3.9 GPA, and 31Q.
