Having bad weather...

 

[ScroogeMcDuckz]

Hey guys! M3 here at OSU to try to answer any questions you may have. I would say sit tight this year and don't compare the timeline to previous years. We've had some changes in the admissions staff, and they're all getting acclimated and getting things ready for you guys so that admissions season goes smoothly for everyone! Feel free to PM questions too!

 

[kli0165]

This is my top choice, I'm so anxious to get the secondary hahah

@PapaGuava

Can you just yolo the primary track essays without it affecting your overall consideration into the MD program?

Edit: NVM. I looked it up. Only one and you had to email ahead of time for consideration into this program @anyone else who is curious

 

[Themistokles]

I actually haven’t received a secondary from here yet. They must be doing them in waves.

Weird formatting bc I'm on mobile. @PapaGuava

 

[907914]

It is working now. I hate when schools use their own format instead of the third party ones...

 

[NileMasr21]

MSTP secondary received. OOS

 

[cbdblmad]

Anyone having trouble entering their application code and birthdate? It keeps saying they're incorrect

I couldn't copy and paste the code and I had to reload the page after I tried to make it work

 

[gemmymer]

This application has the weirdest and most frustrating formatting lol. Mine keeps tweaking.

 

[dr.batman]

Secondary received. Thought it was michigan monday. I am excited, but was also disappointed....

Edit: Agree, this portal is a little wack. Welp...

 

[907914]

This is a really buggy secondary...keep getting error messages on the first page and unable to move on....

 

[Agentcross]

unable to submit because of page errors

 

[907914]

unable to submit because of page errors

Ditto! Gonna sit on OSU for a few days.

 

[Etopn23]

Mine submitted without a problem - what errors have you all noticed? I was an MD applicant.

 

[deleted987519]

Submission fee is only $80, you get what you pay for guys

Go apply to Dartmouth if you want user-friendly portals

 

[aayz345]

Secondary received! OOS, verified 7/11

 

[u_raptor]

Was able to submit successfully. Do not know about all the technical errors y'all dealt with...?

 

[genieinaflask]

I had errors twice, but I logged out and logged back in and was able to submit just now

 

[Agentcross]

i had to delete some weird college in imported for my military service

 

[dr.batman]

I can't even make a new account help...

 

[907914]

i had to delete some weird college in imported for my military service

I have the same issue probably. Just delete the college and it worked? Maybe that is my issue...

 

[FatherTime-PhD]

@ my FAP peeps... do we have to submit some waiver request? The link doesn't have instructions for AAMC FAP people i don't think...

 

[u_raptor]

How did you guys get your selective service number? It's been so long since I had to register

I had the card I was mailed still in my wallet luckily. But I think you can call them?

 

[Agentcross]

[ElloMellowYellow]

Anyone else get further login info after submitting?

I got an email with an OSU ID# and steps to activate an OSU username?

 

[A girl has no name]

Anyone else get further login info after submitting?

I just got one too.

 

[ElloMellowYellow]

I dont think this is right?
I feel like schools shouldn't give you an ID # or login info if you're not a student there?

 

[dr_of_rock]

Anyone else have significant ties to this school but having a hard time finding a way to work that in to these blasted essay prompts? Ideas?

uh no clue what this is..... but i don't think I got this.

 

[YerAWizardKhalifa]

After submitting, why is the page with the degree, school, graduation date etc. blank? I literally saved it multiple times, and everytime I logged out that page was blank and I had to rewrite everything. Literally quadruple checked that it was filled in before I submitted... Anyone else?
