First and second year, yes but it won’t be convenient and you’ll need to live within walking distance of the medical campus. I wouldn’t recommend it though. Also, if you’re coming from a city with good public transport...Cincinnati ain’t like that.
Some of the MSSP (cardiovascular comes to mind) are more competitive than others (e.g. nutrition). Even if you don't get into one, there are tons of research opportunities available and people usually have to decide between what labs they want to join since there is so much going on at UC and CCHMC.
The broader concern would be if you want want funding and also do research on a very specific/niche area.

No, on the website it says everyone who is accepted is considered
For those that have interviewed, how many applicants were there at interview day?

This was one of the biggest groups out of all my interview days. Maybe around 30ish
why would this be a concern? Is there a lack of funding for research at Cinci or areas of research not well represented? I heard research at Cinci was pretty ok?
There are dozens of types of funding at UC depending on what area you want to go into. But if you want good funding to study one particular protein, 1) the research may not exist and 2) the research may exist but not covered by funding. The RIRC or office of research will help you find and apply outside of UC however if you want to spend your summer elsewhere to study that protein.
There were 32 at mine, but one of the deans said they could have up to 64 in one interview day.
@UnknownObi if you just interviewed you don't need to send updates right away but maybe keep it in mind and think of things you can update them with and try to do it within the month (before decisions).
I interviewed Dec 18th and only updated last week once i had sem grades
But yes, def update them, even if it ends up being mostly an interest letter

You can always update them on how much you loved the school and express thanks. I did this and got the A. Probably cause of my good looks though.

I got my call at about 12:30 pm est so it might still be today.
Just called the admissions office. If you haven't received an II that is a rejection. They are done for the cycle. :/
Just got an email...waitlisted. Good luck to everyone still waiting to hear back! 🙂

If this is true then my cycle is over. Cinci would’ve been the only school to sway me from my current acceptance.
Phone call around noon before email for me. But I’ve seen in this thread where it was flipped for others
Thanks for taking one for the team and calling! Looks like there is no love from Ohio for me, lol.

don't think they'll do any waitlist movement until after the PTE deadline (4/30) and they know how many more students they need to fill the class. no way of knowing right now, even for the school, let alone the applicants lol

I just sent a short "Thank you for the opportunity to learn more about the school, I really enjoyed (specific aspects of UC, the vibe from medcats, etc.)" and said a little update I had. you could also go into depth with things that you feel would be a good fit to your goals/interests. And if it's mostly a letter expressing interest, I don't think it would hurt to include dropping a line about a new job.
@UnknownObi rip they did specifically mention wanting any new grades so unless they are super low I would update on that!
But def also include the clinical job and for interest I literally just said that this was my top choice and if accepted I would come. If you wanted though you could include specific things that make it your top choice.
