Congrats! I believe most schools accept about 2-2.5x the amount of seats they have.
Do you mind sharing stats and when you submitted secondary? Thanks!

This is the website where we can see how many interviews Oakland has given out and how many have been completed: http://www.oakland.edu/medicine/admissions/interviews
It shows 0 interview positions filled as of today, but I'm sure it will update once the people who have gotten IIs pick a date

Good luck to you!!
Killer GPA! Good luck with your interview!
Interesting that you heard back so quickly! Seems like those who have submitted before you (myself NOT included) have not heard back yet. You must have really stood out or there is in fact some luck involved?? Maybe both?? Either way, CONGRATS! 🙂
Wow lots of OOS interviews! Give us ISers some love!
IS, just got an II! Fear not!
IS, got an II!
Nice! Stats?
Congrats! Stats?
Are they sending interview notifications to your email or do you just have to keep checking the portal?

Thank you, my stats are 3.92, 33!
They emailed with a link to the portal, and there's a new Interview tab on the portal where you can schedule it.
that GPA though.. you must have 3.5'd only one science class. Nice job
Ouch, you have awesome stats! good luck to you otherwise.
where are you guys seeing that you were rejected? just on the supplement page after you login?
I'm sure you don't have much to worry about with those stats! Good luck!
Wow, that's discouraging. 🙁 I guess no news is better than bad news, at least. Good luck with the rest of your cycle.
Thanks, I've worked hard for that! Hopefully it pays off. Good luck to you!
Received the OUWB secondary an hour after being verified today!
So I see that Oakland requires either two semesters of math or 1 math 1 statistics. Does this mean that we have to have taken calculus? My only math class besides stats was a 1 credit essentials of calculus class. Would that count or should I throw in the towel with this school? Any advice appreciated.
Not sure-- their website only says, "One semester of college-level mathematics," which you would have. It is unclear if they require a certain number of credits. I would shoot them an e-mail and ask. The folks in this admissions department have been particularly good about getting back to my e-mails within a day or so!

From the Oakland Interview Tracker page:
Interview Positions Filled: 11 (As of 07/22/15)
They are expecting to interview 500 applicants, so it's still early in the game!

Ouch, so sorry, you have great stats. Better luck in your IS and other privates.
This morning you were or was this a few days ago? and youll have your choice of schools with those stats don't sweat it
Thanks for the encouraging words everyone. Got the email this morning NextJamesAndrews
How long has it been since you submitted your secondary?
Xoxobubbles, I submitted on 7/5. I'm not sure when I was complete though.
I was complete on 7/23 now it's just a waiting game.
Looks like they're just gonna be getting to reviewing the mid July apps this week or next?
Sorry man :/ When were you complete? I'm terrified to check my email now, you have better stats than me.
So... there are like 4 med schools that I've applied to that are giving out II's and I havent heard back from any of them except for 1. I got a rejection at that one..... it looks like I'm a limbo applicant for MD.
I have a 66 LizzyM so I probably shouldnt be expecting too much from MD schools.
