Yeah I know I feel like there have been more OOS than IS and only a few from OSU
I think I read on the thread last year that they actually tend to send out IIs to OOS applicants first, so they can make travel plans with more notice. (but that could be completely wrong)
 
So…I was complete early August and have heard nothing. MCAT: 516 with a 3.92 sGPA. OOS. Should I interpret this as a rejection at this point?
 
It's just the unfortunate (fortunate?) truth. I've been complete since 7/7 so at least I am hoping it's the truth.

Read your post while walking to class, thought u were saying not hearing back is considered a rejection. Jk, ignore my post. [emoji28]

They send out interview invites all the way into March. Don't sweat it. There is LOTS of time. You'll drive yourself batty if you keep thinking about it.

If you are planning to study primary care medicine, do you have to apply for the "primary care track"?

The primary care track is a 3-year program designed for people who know beyond a shadow of a doubt that primary care is what they want to do (and have the experience to back it up). You can still go into primary care without being on the track.
 
Do you where to check status? Do you receive the complete email?
From their webpage:
What’s my application status?

You will be able to check the status of your application soon. Thank you for your patience.

Have you set up your Vitals account yet?
 
How do I check my status ? The website just says "You will be able to check the status of your application soon. Thank you for your patience. "


*just kidding I think I got it. It just says that my app is complete and has (0) for evaluations.
 
All you guys who were complete in August don't need to worry that you haven't heard back yet. I was complete in mid July and they just recently gave me an II after more than two months of patient waiting.

I'll expect something in a month then XD.

BTW your username is amazing
 
Does anyone know what the length of the two interviews will be like? The website only says that one will be with a faculty member and one with student/resident/fellow, with no indication of their length. It seems like they might be a longer format than I've seen at other schools.

For people who got an II: did they send an e-mail? I don't think I set up my Vitals account properly last month and the password setup link has since expired. I'm kind of afraid to call them since it was my bonehead mistake. 🙁

It was an email that said I had a status change on the portal (vitals)
