hey, for people applying this year -- should I apply for this coming year if I'm not an oregon resident/no ties to oregon? how has everything been for people who have applied?

I would only apply if you meet one of their mission groups. They have them listed on their site, they almost never interview outside of those groups.

I fall only under the academic one ... not worth it to apply?

 

[chachi19]

Have you looked at the previous years excel sheet to see how movement was in June and on?

I've been looking at it through the weeks, and it's all over the place. Plus, this year is different because notification of waitlist happened two weeks earlier this year.

If you are in any of them I would apply if it's somewhere you want to go. They specifically look at those groups.

Hi guys, I am applying to OHSU from CA, and I was wondering if I would be counted as a mission group applicant if I have a 32+ MCAT but a cgpa of only 3.69...I know they ask for a gpa of 3.70. Do you think they are that strict on gpa's?

How was it? They call you, correct?

 

[muchkinworm]

I am just curious if there are pending acceptances out there or if everyone in the class has accepted their spot..?

It wasn't too useful for me, but the woman I spoke with was very nice-- it is so refreshing to have any feedback at all, as a way to know what they think of us and to know for sure that this whole process is just such a game of luck too!

Good point-- I didn't ask for that information this time.

Had my exit interview this am. She was very nice like you mentioned. I did ask about pending spots, and unfortunately she had little info. However she say there should be some movement movement left.

The middle of July is the deadline for a bunch of paperwork etc so anyone who doesn't finish will likely be forfeiting their spot. (I am done!! Sorry not given my spot up!!) you may see movement after that.
