Members don't see this ad.

My file was closed yesterday too (and no Medpath invite either 🙁). Was complete 10/29.

I'm sorry. Did they notify you via email?

 

[NaomiM]

@Citygirl44 I got the email saying I had a status update, but had to log into the portal to see what the update actually was.

 

[10_oreoo]

Congrats! When were you complete?

Completed 10/28

Ok. Thank you, good luck going forward! Happy new year!

Does anyone know when the next date of acceptances/deferment will be?

 

[clew04]

Does anyone know how long it takes them to review your application once you send in the secondary? I sent mine in at the very end of September and I haven't heard anything and my status continues to say "received" and hasn't changed. Thanks!

I am in the exact same boat :/

okay so its not just me! was just wondering if it was normal to wait that long...

Yeah, I think it's pretty standard for a lot of these schools. There are still people in July who haven't heard back at some of these places.

+1 to this, also complete fairly early and status hasn't changed from "received".

Same here, been complete since late July.

 

[CyrilFiggis]

Same. Also since july, feel like I should have gotten the axe already

Seems like they really haven't axed anyone yet. I've been complete since July with zero response as well

 

[Lannister]

There's been a couple of rejections but not many, so I'm guessing the people who got rejected stood zero chance for one reason or another (complete really late, GPA didn't meet some cutoff, etc).

 

[jmpatt29]

I was complete in July and got II 11/23 so it was a while. A Current m2 that goes there was called to interview in Mach so you are truly still in the game

 

[FreckleFart99]

Is there any way to access the secondary from OS's end? My old laptop pooped out and I can't perfectly remember what I said in my secondary.

Yes just go back to the secondary portal.

 

[FreckleFart99]

Yes just go back to the secondary portal.

Thanks but I can't see to access it. It just says "The application you have selected is not available. Please refer to the Graduate Admissions Website or the Professional Admissions website for further information."

 

[OwlPower92]

Is this school receptive to update letters?

 

[idontknowwhatnametopick]

Thanks but I can't see to access it. It just says "The application you have selected is not available. Please refer to the Graduate Admissions Website or the Professional Admissions website for further information."

Uh oh yeah I just checked, mine says that too. Weird. Sorry 🙁

 

[madb0x]

Is this school receptive to update letters?

Only after an interview invite

 

[jmpatt29]

Those that received acceptances through a phone call, did you get the call the day before you were supposed to hear back or the day of? Im supposed to hear back on the 17th and the closer it gets to the date the more impatient I get lol.

Did we find out this answer!? I'm supposed to find out 1/26 and I'm curious as well!

+1, supposed to hear the 26th also! Can't wait!!!

😵 is this how OSU rejects then, they just close down your portal?

 

[idontknowwhatnametopick]

Oh maybe. My other portal is still active though, and still says I'm on "hold for information". Since the end of July...

 

[Lannister]

Wait there's multiple portals? I'm so confused lol.

 

[FreckleFart99]

No actually, I got an II and was trying to look over my secondaries. So its definitely not a sign of rejection.

 

[idontknowwhatnametopick]

The place where we submitted the secondary a thousand years ago is not the same as the portal where we check our status.

 

[Lannister]

Ohhh okay. It's been a while apparently lol.

 

[Officer Farva]

I wonder why anyone would design a portal like that. It's like Drexels that makes you log in twice to see a status.

 

[jmpatt29]

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 :'(

did you receive a phone call the night before you were told you would hear a decision or the day of? trying to have a timeframe in my mind so I am not glued to my phone the whole day lol

 

[Rainbow Zebra]

I never got a phone call, only an email to check a status update. Totally freaked me out that it was an error. It was not, thankfully. Not everyone gets a phone call.

and it was a status change like the morning of when they told you they would let you know?

More like mid-day, but yes, email about a status change.

thanks! i just needed a time frame so I am not panicking if i don't get a call sunday night lol

 

[wintersleeep]

I was complete as of early July and only this morning received an email about a status change, which ended up being an II. Scheduled for 2/15. So, for all those still looking at a "received" with no change, they're still giving out IIs!

What are your stats/are you IS or OOS if you don't mind me asking?

 

[FreckleFart99]

Do you guys know of any resources to learn more about what makes Ohio State tick/sets it apart? I have an interview coming up and I really want to knock it out of the park.

edit: Nevermind they have a very very thorough website.

I got a phone call the night before!

 

[socalbruin858]

Did anyone else get an invite to do the online anatomy course?

 

[daisies1994]

I did! Almost had a heart attack when I saw it was an email from them lol

Hahaha me too!!!

 

[whatever5]

Got an II a couple days ago, OOS lizzym70

 

[Rainbow Zebra]

I wonder if this is the course that use to be required. It is no longer required, but I wonder if it strongly recommended?

I think it wouldn't hurt to complete. The thing that confuses me is that the earlier posts in this thread say that this course is offered to admitted students

Idk if this is true because I haven't been accepted and I got the email..

 

[normoblast]

I think they sent it to all interviewing students.

 

[whipstitchmd]

They do send it to all admitted and interviewing students. It sounds like a great opportunity!

 

[PGY_Celd]

You can take the course if you would like to, but they cover all the necessary anatomy you need to know in the curriculum, and you have plenty of time to learn it. Don't feel as if you need to complete it to be successful here.

 

[jmpatt29]

Just got the call from Dr. Capers saying I was accepted. Sorry dr capers for crying on the phone lol HOLY ****!!!! Interviewed 1/11!!!!
