II today!

Congrats! What time did you get the email?

Some more insight on the teaching style at OUWB - http://www.detroitnews.com/article/...ess-curriculum-schools-target-doctor-shortage

Ugh this school looks awesome, hoping the whole " No news is good news" thing applies here. Complete 7/6 and haven't heard anything...

 

[ABCGas76]

Thanks! I was complete on 7/4, and received the e-mail at around 3pm EST today!

Mind sharing stats and residence? If not that's ok.

I'm OOS and a non-URM. 3.65 cGPA and a <30 MCAT. This school does not seem to be stat heavy!

 

[BradyC]

Interview invitation.

Thanks. First week of July.

I was complete 6/29 and haven't heard anything since then... anyone else in the same boat?

Yup

 

[UVA2k14]

Yup

Maybe Oakland isn't a huge fan of us Hoos

At least we haven't been put on hold. So I suppose that means they haven't finished reviewing our applications? I feel like that has to be it.

 

[adimelon]

was complete 7/16...really hope they consider me
hope they show some love to SMP students

You'll probably have a while to wait since they're still only on applications that were submitted on the 4th unfortunately

Good to know, I submitted on the 17th so I obviously have a few weeks <stops checking oakland every 30 mins>

I wonder if, in the past, they have rejected anyone before the October 15th deadline.

They have been this year. I don't see why we would be different!

I submitted the 4th- what makes you think this? I assume it's based on when the entire application was complete, not primary submission dates.

Someone got an interview that submitted his or her secondary on July 4th

 

[claduva94]

It does't seem to be based strictly on date. I was complete the 28th and haven't heard anything. It could be because I sent an update on the 10th with corrections to my AMCAS but that doesn't explain everyone else's lack of communication.

 

[kirtip]

Just to ease everyone's nerves, I got a II today and I was complete on 6/29, so it must not be completely by date submitted.

Congrats! Best news I've heard all day.

 

[skywayz]

Did you guys receive an email saying you were complete?

 

[kirtip]

No, I didn't. I got an email when my supplemental application was submitted on 6/29, which included guidelines as to what else would be needed for me to be complete. Then radio silence until today when I got my II. I wouldn't stress too much if you don't hear from them for a while. They'll let you know when they make a decision!

Rejected today. Complete 6/30, 3.8+ GPA, 30+ MCAT, OOS.

From their twitter page today:

App volumes very high. We read files twice before offers for interviews. Could be 6-8 weeks.

@OUWBAdmissions

 

[deleted628330]

II tonight as well!!! First one of the season. OOS. Complete 6/29.

 

[drnk12]

From their twitter page today: @OUWBAdmissions

Does this mean that they read apps twice before offering an interview, hold, or rejection - or they read it once, make a decision (ie. put an app on hold), and then re-read the app to make an ultimate decision?

 

[tzekel]

Does anyone know how long it can be before an "on hold" file is reviewed again? Do they wait till much later on in the cycle?

 

[medschoolmyname]

II invite today! First one of the season! Complete 7/1!

 

[medschoolmyname]

[The Milkman]

stats and when you were completed please.

is that all I am to you?
jk i have LM >70 and completed very early.

For anyone who has scheduled an interview already... do you have a schedule for the day yet? I am just looking to know when the interview day plans to wrap up so that I can pick the best date possible for me

They send you a confirmation with those instructions. But, you can also go on their website and check this out 🙂.

Go to the secondary portal and schedule your date there. There's not that much info for interview day besides the schedule and travel info, but I suppose that's similar to all other schools.
