Maybe a current student can answer something I'm curious about. Does the Center for Health Sciences have a gym facility at all? Or, if not, I see the OTHER Tulsa campus seems to have a rather small but nice workout facility. Do the DO students have access to that?

CHS has a really good gym facility.

I’m a current PhD student here in my 4th year, i am seriously impressed with all of the latest improvements to our fitness amenities. In the past year alone we have added a new studio area for HIIT/yoga/step classes, expanded cardio space with new machines, and a partnership with the Tulsa YMCA for discounted memberships. In addition you are free to use the Tulsa campus gym, but just make sure the first time you go that someone is working the desk so they can give your ID card access. I’m not planning on going to med school here but I will miss our gym facilities lol

For the deposit, does anyone know where to pay it? There doesn't appear to be an option on the portal. Also, just to clarify– the deposit just holds your spot right? It's not a commitment that you're going to matriculate?

If it’s not showing up you might just call and ask. I remember for me it just showed up.

Yes it’s just to hold your seat and not a commitment. It is also refundable up to like April I believe, or at least it used to be

I had to accept the offer for admission on the admissions agreement form before it appeared.

Just to be clear for anyone reading this, this is not a contract to attend. It's just saying you accept the offer and pay the fee to hold your seat. You are free to drop the seat until like April I believe. Unless things have drastically changed in 3 years.

Hey, I was just wondering if there were any other upcoming interviews available for anyone else, or is it already the end of the interview season.

They interview up until April from what I’ve read. They usually invite for an interview with about two weeks notice of the open interview date.
 
Hey y’all bit of a late applicant, but really impressed with this school. I was going to see how long it took to hear back from OSU regarding a II once the applicant file was completed. I’ve got a LizzyM in the 68-71 range with a 510+ MCAT and am IS. Thanks for the help and hope everyone has a successful cycle!

My LizzyM score is in the same range as yours. It took me a month after being complete to hear about an II that was scheduled for the following week (complete 7/31, II invited 9/3). Best of luck!

May I ask who you sent that to? I emailed someone on the admissions team with my LOI and did not get a response.

Has anyone gotten an II recently? OOS? I really want to attend OSUCOM, as my partner lives in OK. I sent the admissions committee an email. Is there anything else I can do, or just wait?

It’s later in the cycle. From what I’ve seen they interview up until April. I would guess they’re getting picky at this point. I was complete 10/21 and got ii 12/17. If you have strong stats and some ties to OK you could possibly have a shot. Good luck.

Idk about ties to OK, but I have about the same LizzyM as you so that gives me some hope.

Call is fine, but email works too. If you state you have high interest that you would love to attend OSU, they seem to be extremely receptive to that. If you have high stats as well then you could have a shot. Depends when you were complete as well.
