Second look is the weekend of April 17th.
Darn it, are you sure? This is the same weekend as Michigan's Second Look. 🙁 I don't want to have to choose which one to attend.

I just got the email about the online anatomy course. Does anyone think that taking it would reflect favorably upon deferred students, in terms of demonstrating their continued interest? Obviously I'll take it if I get accepted, but I'm not sure it would give me any advantage to take it before then (if "then" even comes).
Congrats! Do you mind sharing stats?II just now!! Is it easy to reschedule the assigned date?

Thank you BengaliBrat- I called the office and they said they were expecting to get more openings in mid-Jan but to call back on Monday. And yes LizzyM ~70, OOS, and was complete at the end of August.I did not have any problem, but do it soon.
Has anyone gotten an interview/ acceptance here with an 8 or lower in any subsection of the MCAT this cycle?
Congrats!! When were you complete, if you don't mind me asking?Yes. II this morning.

Great question. I would like to know this too.Has anyone that was initially deferred later been accepted so far this cycle?

Big heart! Sure an awesome win!Not even applying here but just wanna say GO BUCKS!

Does anybody know how long OSUCOM students have to study for Step 1?
Thanks so much!!Depends on when you schedule it. The dates will likely change next year, but this year our last final is February 19th. The Monday after that begins our board prep block, and all of that time until May 11 (or a few days before that - May 11 is when 3rd year begins for us) is reserved for board studying/taking the exam. Most people are taking it around April 14-20th.
Personally, I will have 6.5 weeks or so to study for it.
EDIT: So our dedicated board prep block time is from February 20th (but let's be real - the 19th is our post-block party and the 20th is our Medprom. Nobody is going to be starting their studying then) to approx. May 11.
Can a current medical student comment on where most students live?
I agree with Celdurant. Additionally, many people live in living communities such as The Quarry, Marble Cliff Commons, Heritage Apartments, University Village, and the Meridian. There are a few newer places as well on Olentangy River Road and on Lane Avenue. I have lived in a variety of places around campus, mostly along Neil Avenue and have enjoyed it greatly.Can a current medical student comment on where most students live?
Yes. Things get hairy East of High St.Is the NECKO area, around Michigan and 9th, relatively safe? I've heard mixed things about that area of campus, particularly as you move east towards High St. Also, do most students that live in Grandview bike or ride COTA to campus for the day?
How does parking work around the medical campus?Yes. Things get hairy East of High St.
West of High is predominantly (like 95%+) undergrads.
For Grandview, a fair number of my classmates bike or drive from there.
You can park west of high on street parking provided the sign's times permit you to. The Med center has parking garages but to do that every day is quite expensive and generally not recommended/routinely done.How does parking work around the medical campus?
Thanks! Looks like Grandview or anything further west means biking or COTA!You can park west of high on street parking provided the sign's times permit you to. The Med center has parking garages but to do that every day is quite expensive and generally not recommended/routinely done.
Campus parking is really severely limited which is why so few people rely on driving regularly to get to class.
Not sure how flexible rescheduling is, but I would imagine they could work with you. The admissions office is very friendly and accommodating!II this morning. Status change email at 6:52am central time. I figured for the worst, as it had been total silence from tOSU since mid August. Very thrilled to get this II. The interview date is Monday february 9 which is very soon. If ticket prices are sky high for that date does anyone know what the odds of them rescheduling me a week or two later would be?
Thanks for the prompt reply. Hey can you speak to the advantage you mention about interviewing earlier? It's already not too early in the admissions cycle and I'm fired up about the II but also don't want to take a trip for nothing. I'd read on this thread before that tOSU admits people fairly consistently from throughout the interview dates and not just front loaded like some places. Truth or?Not sure how flexible rescheduling is, but I would imagine they could work with you. The admissions office is very friendly and accommodating!
That being said, if you can swing the pricier ticket, it's definitely advantageous to interview earlier rather than later 🙂 hope this helps!
