Congrats! When were you complete?II today for Dec. 1st. Rescheduled for Dec. 8th.
I added Ohio State kinda late. Complete Oct. 14th.Congrats! When were you complete?
They said that to our interview group too but still called all those accepted... Rejected and wait list was on the portalOn my interview day they gave us a date on when we will will get our decisions. And that we will view those decisions through the application portal. Does this mean that this is how they are doing all decisions and there won't be phone calls anymore?
Thanks for the info! Do you remember about how long between your interview and the phone call?They said that to our interview group too but still called all those accepted... Rejected and wait list was on the portal
Has anyone who was accepted received anything in the mail etc besides the initial phone call and acceptance letter on the application portal? Accepted 10/15 and jchillin waiting for some additional information! 🙂 Thanks
Congrats on your II! Would you mind sharing your stats?I added Ohio State kinda late. Complete Oct. 14th.

I added Ohio State a little late too, so I'm just wondering where they might be in their selection criteria.
Same situation. I'm sure we're good!Has anyone who was accepted received anything in the mail etc besides the initial phone call and acceptance letter on the application portal? Accepted 10/15 and jchillin waiting for some additional information! 🙂 Thanks
Belated congrats to all the accepted Buckeyes that I didn't get a chance to congratulate yet!!!Okay, thanks for the reassurance 🙂
anyone else who interviewed recently freaking out for tomorrow? Do we know what time they update the portal?
And I thought they did phone calls? is that not the case?
Oh gosh okay thank you!Yes, at least up until this point, all acceptances have been by phone call and deferments/ rejections via portal the day after.
Mine still says "received" and has been that way since July. Haven't heard a peep from Ohio State.Has anyone been reviewed without being offered an interview as of yet? My status still just says application received. *shrug*
Me too. Still eagerly awaiting their reviewMine still says "received" and has been that way since July. Haven't heard a peep from Ohio State.
I believe thats how it works. Everyone I know who has interviewed there so far has had an incredible MCAT.Does anyone know how they review applications? Do they start with the higher mcats and go from there, etc?
ECSTATIC for you!! Many, many, many congratulations. I interviewed at OSU today-hope that I am as successful as you! And may you be not only a doctor, but a very good doctor, too!Best. Phone Call. Ever. ACCEPTED!!! I'm going to be a doctor!!!!

I was told by someone on the admissions commitee that their approach was "very hollistic" and that only 1/3 of your application's "grade" is from your MCAT and gpa. But I have me doubts...Yikes! I'm assuming those of us with a sub-par MCAT might only get looked at very late in the cycle? I wasn't aware that OSU primarily focused on numbers rather than the application as a whole. Bummer!
This is just my 2 cents, but I believe they generally use numbers to determine the order in which they actually open and look at the files. Therefore, applicants w/ lower MCATs will for the most part be looked at sometime after winter break towards the end. As soon as they start looking at your app beyond the numbers, it will become more holistic and those with lower scores will have a good shot. There are only so many applicants with incredible MCATs after all and many of them have plenty of options for med school.Yikes!

They definitely do!!! I know people that interviewed during the spring and were accepted right away! Which, if you ask me, would be way less stressful than getting an interview in September and being deferred until June (which has also happened to some of my friends)!! Just my $0.02! Hang in there!!Brilliant, thanks for your $0.02, that makes me feel better. Does anyone know offhand if they extend interviews beyond Christmas break? I'll have to do some digging into past years' threads. Keeping my fingers crossed for some OSU love 🙂

When did you interview?
I need to sign up for an anatomy course but that would require me applying to the community school but I don't want to do that and not even get an II at Ohio state. Should I call the admission's office to inquire about my application? I was complete in September.
Thanks I'll just hold on. But I wouldn't be able to take it in the summer because I will be out of the country for June.I'd hold out on that for several reasons-- you can of course take the course the summer before, you might never get into OSU (even post II, they defer a bunch of people) and OSU definitely seems like a "fit" or "no fit" type of school-- it's definitely not everyone's cup of tea.

Congratulations and hoping many more happy moments!Accepted!!! Got the phone call yesterday in front of all my housemates. One of the happiest moments of my life! Yes!!!
Right??? I had the same situation for the call. Such an awesome moment to share with people you're close with! Also, why is OSU so incredible? Of COURSE they would do the little things too, like calling at midnight to say that you're going to be a doctor. Go bucks!!!Accepted!!! Got the phone call yesterday in front of all my housemates. One of the happiest moments of my life! Yes!!!
Congrats! What is your date if you don't mind me asking?I got an II this morning. The email just said it was a status change, and they have been silent since I was complete in mid-July, so I expected the change in my status to be far more negative.
