Hi does anyone have any waitlist info for this school? Like if its ranked or the movement speed? Interviewed 10/3 and waitlisted beginning of March 🙁(( 
Ok quick question - so are some people still deferred while others are now waitlisted, or are those terms being used interchangeably? I’ve been deferred since mid-November, and I guess I don’t know if I should consider myself “waitlisted.” Top choice!

I think its the same at this point because they send out decisions about 2 weeks after interviews and their interviews ended a bit ago so I dont think they will be sending out decisions until they see how many spots are left after traffic day.
Accepted via phone call!! Interviewed mid March, was deferred, OOS
IM SO EXCITED!!!!!
IM SO EXCITED!!!!!
+1!!! Very excited. Now have to figure out if I’m keeping this or the acceptance I was holding onto. I’m trying to get a financial aid package to help with the decision. I’m assuming since we’re deferred first then accepted so late we probly won’t be getting any kind of admissions scholarship?
I am not so sure— hopefully they still have some merit based scholarship left to hand out!
I was deferred in February and still haven't gotten an update.
Deferred in February and not yet... I don't suspect we will for at the very least a few more days if we haven't up to this point.
I'm surprised there hasn't been calls reported on here yet today.
Will they notify us via phone call, email, or Vitals?
Im pretty sure OSUCOM has a event today so they may be busy (I saw a big tent up and looks like something was being set up)
I think the main way of communication is call, but people have been known to be notified via email. Vitals is also a possible way, but less likely .
As if we haven't already waited long enough .
What does the number show up as when they call? Because I just missed a call while I was in the shower from "The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center."
The voicemail started out with "Hi Eleithyia," but they was just a bunch of ads for various departments

Has your vitals status changed?
Nope 🙁 First thing I checked. I ended up calling the admissions office, but they took my info and said they'd call me back so...waiting, not-so-patiently.
Just as an update, I was deferred in February and received an acceptance call yesterday afternoon so it's not just April interviewees. Also, the number just showed up as the generic Wexner Medical Center one when I received the call. Once you're invited to an interview, you've got about a 50/50 shot of landing an acceptance so there's still a good chance, even if you're deferred initially!
It was a generic number for Wexner Medical Center that ends in 5000
I got a phone call from Georgia yesterday, telling me that vitals status will be updated today, which has been this morning!
So I'm guessing that no one else got any phone calls today?
I interviewed in mid December and was deferred. Yesterday afternoon I received a phone call from Georgia with an acceptance! I'm so happy that I get to attend my number one choice!
Did you get an email saying vitals was updated? I had two missed calls from an Columbus, Ohio number ending in 5000 yesterday but I haven't received any other info from the school so I'm not sure if it was actually them lol
Yeah they called again this morning and I was accepted! I'm just waiting on my vitals to update lol
Hi there, I know that there's going to be movement now off the deferred/ waitlist during these coming weeks, but do you think OSU would still accept letters of intent or update letters? If so, how would I go about writing one, would it be just an email or do I formally write a letter and mail it to them?
Just got the call from Georgia! I've been accepted!!! Submitted secondary in July, II in February, waitlisted and got a call today!

I wrote a letter of intent, I don't know if it helped or not but it cant hurt!
Are people still hearing back on the waitlist? I don't know if I should still hold out any hope..?
I had the same thought as you did. Still waiting patiently for any sign of hope.
A friend of mine who was wailtisted at OSU twice said you don't see much waitlist movement until June. I think the threads from years past confirm it as well from what I remember.
Really? that seems unusual...
Also, damnit. I was just starting to move on and be happy about where I am almost certainly going. Now I might be talking myself back into “well, maybe its not over yet at OSU...”
Damn this whole process lol
I thought most of the movement was in May right after people drop but I think some people still hold acceptances at MD and DO and that kind of slows down this process.
Accepted via email after being deferred way back in October. I am floored.
What did your Vitals say before your acceptance? Mine says I am still deferred so does that mean waitlist or no?
Mine also said deferred. It means waitlist.
I got in yesterday after being deferred since December so there's definitely still hope!!
I was deferred in March after my February interview! So I think I have a long ways to go. In the mean time I have just been updating them.
did you get a call?
also CONGRATS🙂

Anyone know where I can find a sample weekly schedule?
Sample weekly schedule no, but there is rough guide for the academic calendar on Vitals.
