I was also complete in August (the 6th) and have still not heard back anything either 🙁
 
Complete 7-22 and nothing but silence. To ease my discomfort, I'm just telling myself they are going in alphabetical order instead of chronological... last name starts with "Z".
 
were the first four interview dates 9/11, 9/18, 10/2, and 10/9? or was there another september one? trying to figure out if I will possibly hear back on 10/21 for 10/9 interview date

Follow @ouwbadmissions on Twitter, they post the exact dates they're giving calls/responses for, always up to date. Or just Google their twitter account and see their posting history.
 
Officially rejected. Complete 7/31, LizzyM = 68ish. Good luck to those still in the running! (first rejection so far...)
 
I'm not sure if this has already been answered, but does OUWB send an 'application complete' email? The last correspondence I received from them was when they emailed to confirm the submission of my supplemental.
 
is not hearing back after about 1.5 months post secondary a silent rejection

Wait, like your dad got your call? Or your dad applied to med school at the same time as you? Because that.. would be awesome
 
But seriously, congrats to everyone being accepted on the first wave!

Yeah, Its a funny story actually. My dad texted me saying that i got into OUWB. Needless to say, i was mad at my Dad. He retorted saying he deserved to be informed too. I believe they were in the process of calling my cell phone but i couldn't wait any longer and called them back and thanked them for the amazing news!
 
Another round of acceptances going out tomorrow! My body is ready...for a rejection. Good luck everyone!

Okay okay okay...not that I'm obsessive or anything, but Twitter was updated at 6:54 am on October 15th with all calls being completed by 2pm that day. It's 10:15 and I'm losing my cool!! (as if I ever had it :laugh:)

The 15th was a Thursday and I think the ADCOM meets on Wednesdays. They are probably going to have their meeting first, then make phone calls this afternoon. I just hope my interview date is included in the decisions!
 
are they going to give out II's today too?

I've been wondering when they'll get to us late August applicants, though by now with only 20% of II spots left I don't hold out much hope only because the likelihood is lower. I wonder when hey'll have used up all their interview invites.
 
Me: Obviously the only way to get into OUWB is stalking the twitter page. I must have the twitter page open at all times even when asleep. Because if I stalk the twitter page enough, through ESP Oakland Beamount will feel the power of my interest in their school and grant me a II, because that's how reality works nowadays. You know, esp.

J/king.
 
I am interviewing here 12/11. I was wondering if anyone who's interviewing for this school or any others wanted to set up a mock Skype interview where we'd interview each other. I've done one before with someone from SDN and it seemed to be very mutually helpful. Let me know!

Correct, OUWB does not do silent rejections. If you haven't heard, you're still in the running. No news is good news, at least here!

Yes, they are! I just got an II!!!! I thought I was going to get a rejection for sure! Congrats to all who were accepted today!!
 
Congrats !!!!

May I ask when you were complete and your stats?

I was wondering if OUWB got to us August people yet?

Thank you so much!! Is there a facebook page yet?! I'm too stoked!
Click to expand...
There is. I feel like a jerk for not joining it yet but I don't want a Facebook account!!

They'll send you an email soon with the info tho. Or PM me for it!
 
I'm assuming I'm part of the 10/2 group that wasn't reviewed as I haven't heard either way yet. Oh well...another 2 weeks it is.
 
Yeah, I applied august 28th and I wish OUWB would put put a statement that they are done sending calls and II's, because I keep refreshing the twitter, agenda and my email. haha.

+1

But you never know. They may have not reviewed us, reviewed us and put us on hold for re-review, or worse. I'm personally deathly afraid of receiving an email from them tonight or tomorrow :/

Yeah, I didn't want to think about the other, more likely possibilities

Just a question.. Is there anyone who interviewed at an earlier date (i.e. 9/11; 9/18) who hasn't heard anything yet?
Click to expand...
I interviewed on 9/18 and haven't heard anything yet. It's still very early in the process. I mean, 10/15 was the first date any MD school could release acceptances (aside from Early Decision peeps).
