They must've had a cancellation! That date wasn't available for me when I got my II a few weeks ago. Congratulations and good luck!

That's what I figured given the short notice. Best of luck to you as well! I remember back when you were a treecko :D

Does OUWB send out post-interview rejections immediately, or do they wait until the end to do so?

Yes they send some post-interview rejections out. Doesn't necessarily have to be immediately just when they officially decide you aren't a fit.

How important is the interview in determining an acceptance vs. a rejection?

Does anyone know the date of their last interview?
 
For those who got the full tuition, has it reflected on your sail account?

Do any of you know if OUWB accepts post-II updates?

On my interview day, someone else asked this question. I think Dr. Grabowski said they do, but only if it's something really important like a new publication or grades. It seemed to me like they weren't very interested in receiving too many post-II updates.
 
How are the scholarships awarded? Would they still offer them this late in the cycle if they are need based?
 
Anyone have an idea how friendly this school is towards re-applicants?

I called the Financial Aid Office this morning and they told me that Need-Based Aid consideration for students runs until July. They also mentioned that the process moves a little quicker after the April 30 Decision Deadline because as more students decline the acceptance offer, more funds will be available to students who have decided to matriculate at OUWB! Unfortunately, this system isn't the most convenient for students who are using cost to determine where they will matriculate.

Does anybody know if this schools offers an M.D. / M.B.A dual degree? If so, does it take 5 years or 4? Thanks!

Congrats on the quick turnaround! Do you mind sharing your stats? Also IS or OOS?

I'm OOS but I was born in Michigan. I moved away when I was 7.
Lizzy M is ~70 (not that it matters too much; there's definitely more of an emphasis on whether who you are as a person and your experiences align with their mission)

Apparently the remaining calls will be made tomorrow - The wait is stressful lol
 
Are any rejections going to be made today from those groups they are calling?
 
Anyone else waiting on a pre-II decision here? I've been complete since September, and haven't heard back. Everyone I know has already received word back from OUWB except me.

Does OUWB re-review their waitlist over the course of the cycle or do they start pulling from the waitlist after a certain date?

Is this up until the beginning of March? Or did interviews actually take place in March?
