The last acceptances sent out were I think last Thursday instead of last night. At least that was the last reported and it makes sense with Christmas and all.
+2. They really seem to make an effort to reach out and make things personal. It's so appreciated!
Okay everyone personal opinions. I am not a strong applicant LizzyM~70. Have tons of extra curriculars, leadership and some publications and what not just like everybody else here but the fact my stats are not good, But I want in this med school. Do you all think a intent letter pre-interview is a good idea?

A facebook group is made for the incoming class by student council, typically after winter break. An email is sent out to accepted students.
For those of you who were offered an interview, how did you study the OSU program? I'm interviewing on January 11th.

Congrats!!! May I ask when you were complete?
Thanks! I don't remember the exact date but I think early July... whenever the secondary was first sent out!
I directly emailed mine to the admissions email!
Thank you!

II this morning ! I've been complete since july so I am super surprised
But now I'm really confused, because when I try to log into vital, the action section is blank and there is nothing indicating that I got an II

If anyone else just got an II, I just called admissions and they said that there's an error in vitals that they're working on and we should be able to see the dates etc soon
Can anyone tell me what the interview day is like? I looked through some earlier posts and didn't find much
Sure. They take you to a conference room (which will be your home base for the day) and give you a series of presentations about the school and the curriculum and you get a chance to ask some questions. Then they bring in a bunch of current students for you to eat lunch and chat with before breaking down into two groups for a tour. After the tour, you go back to the conference room where they give you some water and mints and you have a few minutes to compose yourself before the interviews. The interviewers come to pick you up from the conference room one at a time and then drop you off there again afterwards. There are two interviews and you are free to leave after the second one. The interviews are very relaxed and conversational. Basically every single person you meet will be extremely kind and welcoming, so there really isn't any stress at all. Two thumbs up.
Anybody here get an acceptance off of the deferred list yet?
Any other ISers still praying for an II?
I think so too.

Yup. I hope there's a "surge" in next week or so, otherwise GG
When does this school give II until? Do they interview IS people first? I am OOS
Thanks for all the info ! Im super excited now !
There is a mix of in and out of state at every interview day. There's really no reason for anyone to give up hope solely based on their residency status.
We interview until March, so IIs will continue to go out for weeks to come.
what is the best way to send an update to this school?
I read through the thread and others were saying email so I just sent them an email to [email protected].
Has there been an interview date yet in 2017? If so, does anyone know when the next decision date is?

There was an interview date on the 9th, and they said we would hear back on the 24th. Not sure if there were any others, sorry.
FYI @CavsFan2016 - I just got a confirmation email that they received it. Sorry the Blazers got the better of you guys last night 😉

Did you figure out the answer to this? I was wondering the same thing... is the deposit binding?
Sent from my iPhone using SDN mobile
Better than the west.
It is not binding, and it is refundable, per AAMC traffic rules. The minimum amount of time allowed for you to respond is two weeks, but when I was accepted several years ago our deadline to pay the fee was May 15th (at the time, that was the last day to hold multiple acceptances).
I imagine the deadline is still the last day for which you can hold multiple acceptances, which would be April 30th, but you should check your acceptance emails, which should provide that information.
"Each school's pre-enrollment deposit should not exceed $100 and (except for EDP applicants,) be refundable until April 30. If the applicant enrolls at the school, the school should credit the deposit toward tuition. Schools should not require additional deposits or matriculation fees prior to matriculation."
