complete date/LizzyM?
Complete: 8/2 Lizzy M: 70
Interview day was very chill, my interviews were with 1 faculty and 1 resident, and it was very conversational. I mostly talked about food (I'm sort of a foodie) and Columbus area (I'm from Ann Arbor, and the faculty member was a former Ann Arborite). One of my best interview days, very well organized.
Do you recall the overall schedule of the day? Mostly traditional questions or did they have a few ethical scenarios ?
Mine did not have ethical scenarios, more about my app, my ECs, why OSU. I felt they were trying to get to know me as a person, and they were very nice, nothing stressful at all. THey really seemed to be interested in making sure I liked OSU, which I did.
its hard not to love that school!
Thanks! I'm an Osu alum so I'm familiar! So most students walk to class/on campus activities then?
Starting to get excited about Ohio state but am thinking of living a bit farther from campus, so what is the parking situation for med students? Nice housing options about 15-20 minutes from campus, will be looking for female roommates too.
Not going to sugar coat it, it's dire. You're competing with the hospital staff for spots in the garages and lots closest to the med center, and the various annual parking passes offered by CampusParc are all pretty expensive and don't give students access to the garages around the hospital/med school. You could buy a city parking permit and try to get to campus early to find a spot in the neighborhood south of the med center to park, but again, that's playing entirely to luck. It's possible, especially if you get to campus area early, but it's hit or miss.
Thanks for the insight, that was not my Impression from interview day, so good to know. More internet scoping required on my part. Parking in ann arbor is an absolute nightmare, so if this has permit options I will just throw some cash at the problem.
And towing every first and third Friday or Thursday between April and October for street cleaning. That gets a lot of people!
Curious too, my application has been "received" since 8/19, but nada since. I'm assuming silent rejection at this point.
Congrats! When were you complete?
The interviews were typically 30-45 minutes. For most applicants that interviewed on my day, the faculty interview was longer than the interview with the current student.
this just made me so excited! t minus 13 days until interview time! Congrats again!!
Yes, I received notice my file was closed today (pre-II).
Sorry to hear that. When were you complete?
Very late (11/15?). So I wasn't totally surprised but it still sucks. Good luck to everyone else! Hopefully I will be just a year behind 😉 OSU is my first choice, and I've already made an appointment with the admissions office to discuss next cycle.
I think the II said 9-4? But I think previous posts said they were done by 3... I wouldn't plan a flight earlier than 6 personally. Cbus traffic from 3-6pm can be a crap shoot and sometimes pretty Brutal on a weekday
