I hear that for this school you need family affiliation with Oakland in some form. Has anyone heard this?

That seems incredibly unlikely.

My partner is from MI and he was rejected from the school. May be just the conclusion he came to, ha ha. 😛

But in his defense, he had Lizzy M >70 and was accepted into Wayne so it did make me wonder...

Just silence here

Out of curiosity, how do you get to OUWB from Detroit Metropolitan Airport? (I don't have an II - just asking out of curiosity.) It seems a bit inconvenient to get there.

If you are 25+ I would rent a car. :/

Nope, not possible. Never have talked to anyone from Oakland, let alone have a family affiliation with Oakland. Have a II.

Did you get an email saying you were complete, or just an email saying they received your supp? I have a checkmark next to application complete but never got an email. Maybe I'm just being neurotic lol.

I didn't get a "complete" email. Just a "Thx for your 2ndary"

Received my rejection e-mail this AM!

Sorry to hear, when were you complete?

 

[Medgeek24]

Anyone else put on hold? Or know anything about what hold means

 

[CitizenoftheWorld2016]

Sorry to hear, when were you complete?

It's okay, it wasn't meant to be! Not entirely sure which date my application was complete, but I'm guessing quite early on because I submitted it on June 28th and all of my letters etc. were received by the AMCAS before I submitted my primary!

 

[CitizenoftheWorld2016]

I don't know about here, but at other schools it usually means they'll look at your file again later on to see if they'll interview you or not

 

[ChrisMack390]

Yeah, pretty much means you aren't getting an II right now, but that doesn't mean you won't get one at some point.

I never received a "Complete" email, so to speak. I just have the checkmark. Try not to let it worry you. It's completely out of our hands at this point.

Mind sharing stats and completion date?

sure thing. LizzyM 66, completed 7/11

 

[labguy157H7]

This school literally has me at the edge of my seat, checking my email a couple times every hour. I see a good number of rejections and IIs, while I sit here twiddling my thumbs…

I'm not really sure of what to think of OUWB right now. I completed my app the day I got the secondary on 8/1, but haven't heard a word back from them back since. I feel like I'm sitting in their "Maybe" pile right now.

People sent in their secondary weeks before you and haven't heard back. Last year, I didn't hear until December about an interview for a school. It has literally been less than three weeks - this process takes months.

don't worry! the nice thing about OUWB is that they really take holistic review very seriously and they're very transparent. So no news at this point is good news

 

[msoccer]

going to submit my secondary tonight, is it too late?

Better than submitting it tomorrow 😉

for the traditional pre reqs, it says 2 semesters biology with lab...I thought that would mean 2 semesters of lecture and 2 semesters of lab but there is only 1 lab section entry on the secondary. Did you guys just put one lab section?

Or should I just use the optional 3rd quarter entry to list the other lab section?

 

[axolotlz]

Had to share the news in my first post to SD!!

II today, complete 7/11, LizzyM 68.7, OOS

 

[tictac3]

@axolotlz congrats!!! do you think you could answer my question in my post right above yours?!

Hmm when I filled out the app I chose the non-traditional option so I'm a little unsure on what to say

Wow, wondering if I should bother filling out the secondary. I have similar stats.

 

[Ebayit]

@wonder12 it seems Oakland B is very very mission focused, I wouldn't pay so much attention to the stats as long as your somewhere in the school's ballpark

 

[Home_Run_Ball]

The admissions stated that they are more concerned about the fit of an individual's experiences (holistic aspect) to the school's mission so i think as long as your stats arent crazy low you will have a shot! Just out of curiousity what are ur stats?
