So does Oakland reject,wait list, and accept over the phone?
They only accept over the phone. If you aren't accepted, you're put back in the total pool. Waitlist is not formulated until March.

Got the call yesterday! 🙂
I really loved OUWB on interview day. Great facilities, great atmosphere, and very friendly people.

Out of curiosity... Does anyone know how many interviews there were between October 11 and 25th? Trying to see if there's a chance October 25th people will get reviewed next week.
I could not agree more! OUWB blew my mind. Especially the hospital! If anyone is unsure about whether or not to attend this interview, GO! Unless you've been accepted to your number 1 of course ; )
Interview Positions Filled: 402 (As of 10/30/13)
Anticipated Number of Interviews: 500
Been put on hold and feeling no longer hopeful here.
Oh ouch. Also on hold here; guess I'll probably be rejected soon...
My GF was put on hold early September. We both received II last week so there's always hope!
Those of you who were put on hold: Did you find out via email or checking your online status?

My secondary and application was complete on Oct. 28th. Has anyone who submitted the secondary around then heard anything back yet??? Also, I know their website says they screen applicants, I wonder what their requirements are!

For anyone wondering -- I recently attended interviews at Oakland....and fell in LOVE with the school. I had low-to-moderate expectations for a new school that didn't even graduate a class yet, but after the day spent with the faculty and looking at the campus, it would be hard to not be in love with it. The ONLY issue is the huge price tag to attend, but hopefully Oakland feels the same level of love and supplies me with some scholarship dollars. If you're debating on going to this interview, you would be doing yourself a disservice NOT going!
I have an interview for this school in November. I recently got accepted at Rosalind Franklin. I am not sure how I should compare the two and if I should still go to the interview. Can anyone tell me the best way to compare the schools? I am tight on budget, so just want to save some money. Thanks!
Could someone already interviewed comment on a "team based exercise" before the interview? What is it?
Thanks Kinch! I appreciate your help.🙂The TBL part of the interview is supposed to mimic an actual TBL session. All adcom members leave the room so it has no impact on your application, simply meant to expose you to the teaching technique. Nothing to stress about.
I interviewed on 11/8GOT THE CALL!!!!! Accepted! I loved this school

Does Oakland wait till march when they start formulating the wait list to send out post interview rejections? Also are there people who get offers past the initial/second time the committee has reviewed their file (prior to the waitlist forming), or is it just the recently interviewed that get calls?...... To all my fellow applicants who love OUWB and are still waiting to get called: "Oakland probably loves reading your application so much they aren't ready to let you go into the yes pile yet", Good luck🙂
Been asking myself the same question.Anyone know how likely it is to get any sort of scholarships from Oakland? Private schools tend to have more money to give, but are way more expensive.
Yeah the taxi system in michigan is pretty bad. If you get a number for a taxi you'll be alright (one will come within an hour) but it's not the best.Also, I have never been to michigan before so is it a good idea to get a rental instead of taxi?
Plus DTW is a bit far from the school so a taxi will be pricey.Yeah the taxi system in michigan is pretty bad. If you get a number for a taxi you'll be alright (one will come within an hour) but it's not the best.

M1 here. I'm not sure how many scholarships are given out each year, but they are definitely giving out substantial scholarships to attract students. I received a scholarship offer in April (I think that's when they start coming out; I was admitted in October). Just be sure your financial aid information is in before decisions are being made (preferably in January). Also, FYI, there is no scholarship application. Everyone is considered based on their primaries/secondaries and financial aid info.
Thanks for your input.
Also, could you (or perhaps anyone else on this thread) describe the interview experience? Stress level? Overall difficulty? How was the TBL exercise? Any other insight?
Thanks again!!
The interview was essentially a conversation about my teaching and love for crafting! Super easy!! At the end the interviewer suggested incorporating a crafting corner into their student lounge. Made me feel at home!! Have fun!Thanks for your input.

No one is rating your performance on TBL so just have fun. It is for you to get a glimpse of their teaching style. NO stress, promise ; )
