I was complete 6/29 and still have no status update...
i went to a preview day, they are private and have no state biasDoes IS/OOS matter here? MSAR says its a public school but on Oakland's website they say they are a private school and have no IS v OOS bias....?
Same.I don't like this, schools aren't even updating me 🤔, i'd feel better if i received the rejection earlier rather than being played..
how is everyone finding about about holds/rejections here?
I find the absence of one of your trademark jokes unbearable 😉I'm wondering the same thing..
Someone answer this please. Need to know if I should continue to check my status every 10 minuteshow is everyone finding about about holds/rejections here?
I don't see an obvious place where they would change your status? I think most people have been saying email.Someone answer this please. Need to know if I should continue to check my status every 10 minutes![]()
Have been hoping to see an "Interview" tab pop up...I don't see an obvious place where they would change your status? I think most people have been saying email.
Yeah but I think they email you shortly thereafter. Maybe interviews tomorrow on a Friday to make people's weekends? I don't think they have sent out much in the way of invites this week.Have been hoping to see an "Interview" tab pop up...

I think that OUWB is a private medical school, but OU is a public university. Not sure about the bias though, I would probably just consult the MSAR and previous acceptance data for that.
Rejected this morning. Well, didn't expect much. Good luck to y'all.
I'm not expecting much either - applying here was a crap shoot. Good luck though!
As I am sure you recieved! I doubt it is just talk.Yeah was expecting some holistic review

That doesn't make a lot of sense since their average MCAT score is a 30, which means that ~50% of the class has an MCAT score sub 30.For the most part it is just talk. Mcat/gpa mean everything unless you've go some really great life experiences. An admission direction basically told me to not apply unless i retook the mcat (sub 30). I didn't even get to tell him my experiences/EC's lol

But just because you have above those numbers doesn't mean you will be accepted, which suggests a holistic review at that point. No matter your ECs, many adcoms will associate a mid 20s MCAT with an inability to handle the medical school course load. So while it is holistic, it can only compensate so much for below average stats.For the most part it is just talk. Mcat/gpa mean everything unless you've go some really great life experiences.

II this morning!! OOS!!
last month.Congrats!! When were you complete?
I wouldn't pour salt over applicants' wounds. Life circumstances are different. Some applicants had superb pre-med counseling, enough money to take MCAT courses and resources to do the extracurriculars they wanted, others did not. Some applicants will be able to express the difficulties they overcame, some will not.But just because you have above those numbers doesn't mean you will be accepted, which suggests a holistic review at that point.

That isn't my point at all. My point is that it isn't fair to suggest that schools do not do a holistic review. I apologize if I came off as blunt or rude. I'm not trying to. Congrats to those with IIs and best of luck to those waiting on other schools!Sometimes sub 30 M

Congrats to everyone who got II to Oakland and those applicants who did not your IIs are coming from other schools. Keep your chin up!
My apologies then.That isn't my point at all. My point is that it isn't fair to suggest that schools do not do a holistic review.

Oh I don't doubt it. High tiers only seem to be interviewing 37+ MCATs right now. I'm in the same boat in that I want an update too! I'm complete at almost 30 schools and haven't heard anything.What your saying is understandable. I was just suggesting its exaggerated.
Congrats to people who II's! I just want a status update already haha
After seeing so many people with ii, many others put in hold and still others rejected (condolences) I wonder why my email is dead silent? Complete 7/2, hoping for an update! Patience is a virtue...
Hell yeah. When did you submit?Man.. I wasn't expecting jack! I woke up and looked at my email to see what secondaries to work on today, and suddenly saw a suspicious email with the words "interview invitation". I squinted really hard to see if this was true, opened it and nearly passed out lol. As a reapplicant, with not the best MCAT score, and not a single II last cycle, just getting to experience this moment has been humbling sniff. I am really grateful. I am sure you guys will get II soon, we all have worked hard. Good Luck!
Ps: I am a perfect example of them taking a "holistic approach" while viewing apps.

Applied EARLY!.\Congratulations! It must be an amazing feeling. Good luck at your interview.
By the way, if you don't mind me asking: what did you differently this time around that you think might've helped get you the interview?
When were you complete?On hold email today morning.
I was expecting rejection so this isn't that bad.
When were you complete?
Just got an on hold email today. What are the chances on hold turns into interview?
Congrats!! When were you complete?II today!
