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!

@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 🙂

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

+1 ... since the person above got the primary track essays, i'm gonna assume its because of that and regular MDs are still waiting.

Weird formatting bc I'm on mobile. @PapaGuava
 
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
 
Mine submitted without a problem - what errors have you all noticed? I was an MD applicant.
 
Was able to submit successfully. Do not know about all the technical errors y'all dealt with...?
 
I had errors twice, but I logged out and logged back in and was able to submit just now
 
i had to delete some weird college in imported for my military service
 
@ 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...
 
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?
 
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?
