2018-2019 Ohio State University College of Medicine

I withdrew my acceptance but loved this school so much! Good luck to you all

And the school is very on top of things and will tell you what day to check your Vitals after your interview. I checked and saw my A and got the email for it a few hours later!

I didn't realize decisions were being released today. Are they doing weekly now?

 

[ThisCycleJB19]

If last year is any indication, it appears they will be awarding scholarships sometime in the next week or two and this will happen on a rolling basis.

With this being a rolling process, does the school ever confirm that you will not be receiving a scholarship?

Probably not since people who get one might withdraw and then there's a good chance it'll be redistributed.

For people who requested a hotel room Friday night of second look, has the admissions office sent out any info yet?

 

[aquaduck780]

I interviewed and was deferred in March. This Thursday I got the A! Good luck to all on the WL, it's not over til it's over.

 

[adventurousapollo]

Is tomorrow a notification date or is it Thursdays now? Also, for those of you taken off the waitlist, did you guys send updates or anything like?

They moved decision days to Thursday but I’m not sure if that stands since interviews are over. This school is my top pick so I sent a LOI.

 

[littlefishbigpond3270]

has anyone gotten an initial financial aid package yet?

Nothing here yet. Hope they send that info out soon.

I think the main financial aid office just sent out packages to people enrolled for the summer semester so the fall/spring semester packages are probably going to be sent out soon.

I think they said 4/17 or 4/18 at my interview day.

For those asking about merit aid, someone in the Help Me Decide forum posted about getting a merit scholarship recently

Oh man, I hope they still have more to give.

edit: Do you all think they'd match scholarships from higher ranking schools or are they too limited with their funding?

It seems like they have alot of funding by how many of their students get some sort of scholarship.

Does OSU have a clinical simulation center and/or work with standardized patients?

Yes

Got an email today about financial aid being available but when i logged in it just says "Awards under Review". Got my hopes up, but now back to waiting again. There was a tab that showed my estimated CoA, EFC and need so i guess they at least started looking at things.

Did you select the aid year?

 

[freedoctor17]

Did you select the aid year?

Yeah, i only had 1 year showing for 2020 that i clicked on.

Edit: it's up now. And dang no scholarship for me... I wonder if they'd match a scholarship from a higher ranking school. Anyone have a scholarship? I only had a small amount of need based aid on mine and then the rest were loans.

The merit scholarships haven’t been released yet. I was told at second look that dean capers will make personal calls in the next two weeks.

Glad to hear it! Someone else told me the same thing. Unfortunately I couldn't make it to second look so didn't hear about that. I really hope they give enough time before the April 30th deadline to make a decision though.

 

[MDhopeful74]

When is OSU’s commit to enroll deadline? I.e you’ve committed and withdrawn from all acceptances and waitlists?

Thanks! It mentions notifying them within 24 hours if you receive an acceptance after April 30th....This isn't completely clear, but are they expecting you make the decision between OSU and another school within 24 hrs?

 

[SchwiftyMD]

Has anyone not received a pre II rejection?

 

[Seyeydnav]

Yea...I'd love to interview now though, ADCOMs!

 

[sciencegladiator]

So is there likely not going to be any movement from the deferred/WL pool until After April 30th?

 

[letsgoooo]

Check vitals lol my rejection was sitting there

 

[MomJeansandDadJorts]

Just got the Axe. Stats werent quite what they were looking for and it seems they take those pretty heavily. Had very strong connections to OSU and OSUCOM but guess its time to move on from cbus!

 

[CanIplsbecomeadoc]

Has anyone who was deferred received any news since? Whether an A or an R?

Ah ok thanks! At least i know not to wait on a call now haha.

Kinda wish i emailed them about my other scholarship to beforehand to try and get a match but oh well.

For future students, do everything you can beforehand to not have regrets...

Congratulations! That’s so awesome!

I saw your post in the “help me decide” forum & saw you got the scholarship a while ago, right? Did they call you first, and this is a follow up email? No calls or emails here lol I’m dying for some news

 

[freedoctor17]

Did you also get the email around 9:30? Wondering if they're sending them one at a time or if it's all at once.

Do you know if scholarship money goes back to the pool when a recipient student withdraws their app?
