:whistle:

Hello, OSU, its me
I was wondering after all these days are you still considering me?
Is it over, we'll see

Replaying our interview constantly
Wishing I had done more impressively
I'm at home dreaming
of all the things that we could be

I think I finally get Adele
Because loving and not knowin is hard as hell
Its no secret
That both of us are running out of time

Hello from the deferred side....
I must checked Medstar a 1000 times
At least I can say I tried ...
to make you want me as much I want you....oooooooohhhhh:whistle:

Took about 2 weeks to hear! Interviewed on 10/21 got notified 11/5

Can anyone speak to a C/o 2020 FB group? Trying to find one but I don't see it :'(

It hasn't been created yet. The school will notify you when it has been created so that you can request access to the closed group.

For those who interviewed what did they say was post interview acceptance rate?

It's approximately 50%. We accept about half of those who are interviewed.
 
Interviewing this week, any advice from those who already interviewed?
 
I'm interviewing here next week. How much of the tour is outdoors? The forecast doesn't look too terrible, but if it's rainy/slushy will I want boots?
 
Interviewing here next week as well! Really excited!

Very little. A quick walk across a one lane street to get to the anatomy building, and again to get to the medical center. A max of ten minutes outside total, and not even consecutively.

If it's really bad out, tour guides are advised to take tunnels to avoid the weather, but next week is not expected to be very cold or have any rain.

Excellent. Saves me room in my carry-on!
 
does anyone know of OSU's interview dates in December/if they have a waiting list for an earlier dates? I just figured I'm local to the area and am scheduled for mid january but figured I'm so close i could fill in earlier if needed 🙂

There are only three interview days left in December before we go on break for the holidays and resume in January. Suffice it to say, the likelihood of someone withdrawing from one of those interview days is very low. We do not have waiting lists for earlier interview days. There are many OSU alumni/current students who have applied who are considered if a last minute opening needs to be filled.

You'll just have to be patient and wait for your interview date. If it makes you feel any better, my interview date was in late January and I got in just fine.

How far along would you say you are in filling the class?
 
For those of you who interviewed, did you actually need to bring a small wallet sized photograph?
 
how receptive is this school to oos from cali? Trying to read into where my app is. Honeslty, im sure it hasnt even been looked at yet.
 
a quick look at the numbers...Ohio State took 4 students from Cal publics last year...I'm assuming they were IS. So that's 4 of the 85 OOS students they accepted. As far as stats go looks like Ohio State matches almost identical to Cal Irvine and Cal San Francisco if that's any help to you. The best answer to your question though (I think) is Ohio State is receptive to OOS from Cali but no preference. The only preference I see from Ohio State is for Ohio St UG's but no IS preference.
 
Interviewed here today and was honestly amazed at all the school has to offer! The interviews were conversational and it was more about you getting t know about the school than the other way around. Hoping to.hear I'm accepted once decisions are released this next week!

This is the first I have heard of an OSU UG bias. That is great news. Do you know of any situations as examples? I'm curious as to how much it can help. Top choice...thank you for any information.

Check Ohio State class profile, 48 students matriculated to OhisSt Som from Ohio St UG

Keep in mind that OSU undergrads make up a substantial portion of the IS applicants number, relative to OU, Case, and all the smaller schools. Every premed here applies to OSUCOM, more or less, so while 48 got in and decided to go here, there is a large contingent of OSU alumni/undergrads who don't even get an interview.

Just for future reference OSUCOM is a different school than OSUSOM.

@LuisCorinthiano that would definitely work, personally I used a CVS photo booth kiosk type thing

I just did that, no problems.


Interview today went really well. This school is definitely in a higher tier than others I interviewed at. The most important thing: They make a huge effort to be as nice as possible, from the people working at the admissions desk to the faculty interviewing you.
And the interview is really chill, it seems like they want to know you as a person (no classic interview questions), plus the interviewers do not get to see your MCAT/GPA
