Is there anything you do not like about the school? Just trying to get as much of an informed decision as possible.

For me, maybe that there isn’t a cafeteria. It’s a very tiny nitpick. I really loved everything about the school. The people, staff, buildings(architecture/design), the mentors provided, the location..I think you get my point
 
Is there a way to get back in and view your secondary? I remember some talk about a guaranteed admission program. Basically they accept you into the following cycle contingent on completing the medical certificate program and getting As and Bs and at least a 492 MCAT. My MCAT is above that but I don't recall seeing this as on option on the secondary.

Easy enough. Thanks for the quick reply. Hypothetically, how often would an applicant need to call or email before they get tired of hearing from them... asking for a friend
 
To those who have interviewed - what were you asked, how long was it, and how many interviewers were there? They told me interviews last from 10am-12pm, so just wondering if there’s like a time window where I go in or something like that. Thanks I’m advance

It’s like a 30 minute time slot you interview in, and the rest of the 2 hours you just kind of chill if I remember correctly.

Thanks guys!
 
Do you think an IS student with a MCAT of 492 would get an II? Major is mechanical engineering.

Probably would have to have other things absolutely stellar to get a look

I highly doubt it. I don’t think you would even qualify for the bridge program with that low of a MCAT.

I know of someone who did bridge with lower actually, but you would probably have to be a minority/underserved/or have a parent with a big check honestly.

I would plan on retaking the MCAT, because a 492 is low for any DO school tbh.
 
I definitely still applied because their average MCAT is only a 500. And I’ve been to several on campus events, know recruiters, and have great extracurriculars and volunteer. Just worried about my MCAT since that is the lowest they accept.

I am just giving you the advice I would give anyone. I would plan on retaking it, and hope that you get accepted and don't have to

You should absolutely retake the MCAT, there is a big difference between a 23rd percentile MCAT and 50th. I’ve never heard of someone getting accepted with that low of a score and if you did you would be at risk of failing the boards. Try uworld to work on content knowledge gaps.

The info after the interview was that it either will be a phone call if accepted or an email in case of being waitlisted or rejected. Check your spam folder?
 
Upon acceptance you get also a hard copy of the letter with a copy of Bob Jones’ “The difference the DO makes.” What a thoughtful thing...

How many of those accepted also applied to OU and are waiting to hear from them?

Not accepted to OSU yet (interviewing today), but it looks like OU started sending IIs late in September or early the first week of October last year.
Also, good luck to everyone else interviewing at OSU today. I’ll see you all there.

Edit: from the OU forum, looks like first IIs went out 9/27.

For those who have submitted the secondary, how did you guys approach the "optional" essay? Thanks!
 
Agentcross said:
what was the optional essay? I cannot go back and view the secondary
Click to expand...


Required Essay: What is your most important relationship or who is the most influential person in your life and why? Word Count: 300

Optional: Is there any additional information you would like the college to know about you? Word Count: 500

I don’t recall writing anything. It may be a good place to answer “why OSU”
 
anyone been to one of the prospective student day? would love info on what to expect, what to wear, etc.
 
I wore a suit. Other people wore casual (shorts and flip-flops). They give you a presentation and a tour of the school.
 
Hey everyone, quick question for those accepted or current MS's at OSU-COM.

I got an acceptance here, and I want to hold my spot even though I'm continuing to interview with other schools throughout the cycle. So do I go ahead and pay the deposit and fill out all the information now to hold my seat, and if I decide to choose another school later I can withdraw? I know the deadline for submitting everything is December 14th (according to AACOMAS). I'm just not really sure about the post-acceptance process. I spent so much time focusing on getting that A originally that I have no idea what to do afterwards lmao.
