It was complete August 18th!
Have you called them? Mine was complete 9/30 and I interviewed on 2/10, I'm also IS. I feel like you should have heard something.

I called them last week but still haven't heard back. I just sent them an email.
Received an II yesterday. April 5th was their last date
I agree, I am very surprised you haven't heard anything. I was complete early September with a 3.75 and a 516 (so, similar stats), Oregon resident, got my II mid September, interviewed end of October, and was accepted mid February. That sounds very frustrating. Make sure no emails ended up in you junk folder? Wishing you luck.
Hey guys, quick question. For OOS students, how much preference do they give to people who grew up in the region (PNW)? I am an Idaho resident so I was just curious whether I have a good shot of getting in (I am median for accepted students in GPA and MCAT). Thanks!
When I looked through last years thread, it looked like a bunch of people received a waitlist number via the portal around April 25th or something like that. It then looks like about the top 50 waitlistees got accepted. I didn't see many people saying they were accepted outright around April 25 nor many saying they were rejected, just a whole bunch of waitlist numbers.
I'm on hold right now and it says we will be accepted, wait listed, or rejected. I'm really hoping for an accept or a top 50 waitlist number.

same
What does it look like when they update the portal? I interviewed 12/14 and am going crazy waiting. Is it pretty obvious if you're put on hold?
Right on the front page you get a purple box and "Decision: HOLD" - you'd know it if you were
Thanks! Impatience is starting to get the best of me.

I'm in the same boat. I bet we had the same interviewer. Not knowing is slowly killing me.
I interviewed 12/16 the wait is real
Just checked the portal and i was reject pre II on 2/28. Wish i got an email.
Have you heard anything?
Wondering the same thing, complete since 10/3/16 w/Oregon heritage and haven't heard anything.
So weird, what are your stats? Have you called?
I have the exact same stats as gmm966: 3.8 gpa, 513 MCAT. Called recently, but haven't heard back either. I know they're generally pretty slow, but this just seems way out of the ordinary.
I don't know if this helps at all, but we were told the last interview date will be the 5th of April.
From what I understand, when I interviewed they told us we would get a score and that would put us in a ranking. I definitely think a decision has been made in regards to this "score" but since they are still interviewing people they aren't sure if these new interviewees might have a better score. After all the interviews are complete then they can tell us if we got accepted or not (or waitlist). I think this is why no further update will help.
That totally makes sense. Thanks so much!

Fantastic. And was this sent out in an email to accepted students, or is it available on ohsu.edu?

Not on this board, no.
has anyone heard anything about merit scholarships (especially the ones eligible for OOS students)? haven't seen any posts on this board. my understanding is we did not have to apply for them, and will be considered automatically, but i don't know when we would hear. i e-mailed a week ago with no response - wondering if anyone here has any wisdom?
Interviewed 12/14 and FINALLY heard back. Unfortunately it was not the news I'd hoped for. I'm sad I won't be attending OHSU, and devastated I will have to leave Portland, but am happy for everyone who made the cut. I look forward to working alongside y'all in the future.
I'm sorry to hear that! I assume you are IS? What are your stats?
ACCEPTED!! Yay!!!! So so so excited! Interviewed 1/25, lm 69, IS.
Couldn't even read the full portal update before starting to ugly cry.

I got an interview for the very last available date! Really hoping to get in here; I was born in Oregon and would love to revisit the homeland.
