Can anyone who interviewed already tell me what time you finished up by?

Finished my day at 4:30pm. I think the latest interview time I heard was 5:00pm which would end your day at 5:30pm.
 
II sent last week with interview dates in late October. The invitation email was sitting in my spam folder... check it regularly!!

File was complete on 08/30 according to the secondary portal.

AHHH congrats, I really hope I get one too! Mine was complete right after labor day though, also OOS. I didn't have a message on my message board for the longest time and then I had a message telling me to add their email to my mailing list including an interview@ohsu email but idk if that's on everyone's portal and it just didn't show at first.

Thank you and best of luck to you!!! I have the same message on my portal, if that helps.
 
Is the OHSU MD/PhD an MSTP program? I can't find a clear answer to this. On the NIH site it says that the program is MSTP and on the OHSU site it says that they have NIH funding, but nowhere does it explicitly state that it is an MSTP program.
 
Does anyone know how OHSU processes LORs that are added/edited/updated later?

I submitted all of my LORs with my primary in early-June. I was complete at OHSU on 07/22. However, I came to learn one of the letters wasn’t signed or on letterhead. It wasn’t corrected and re-submitted to AMCAS until early-September.

I am beginning to see IS applicants with similar stats and later complete dates getting interviews. Was my application put to the end of the line because of this updated letter (if that makes sense)? Or am I just being hella impatient?

I still haven’t head from OHSU either. I’m in the same boat with submitting early and similar stats. Hard not to worry :-( if they marked it complete I imagine it is probably fine?

OHSU accepts letters without letterhead.

I swear their requirements said they did? But I could be wrong?
Nonetheless, the letter was both unsigned and not on letterhead.

One of my letter writers was unable to provide a letterhead so I emailed the admissions office to see if they would still accept it. They said they would accept it as long as the writer provided their contact info and signature.

I am in the same boat. Same / higher stats with earlier complete date, still haven't heard anything. I'm trying not to overthink it 😛

My invitation went to SPAM! They emailed me the next day after the deadline and extended it. Crazy. Got the II, IS!
 
Any point emailing admissions to alert them of my MCAT retake score increase? I did NOT alert click that I was doing this because I didn't want to be put on wait until today. I know they receive them anyway.

Leaning towards not doing it as it might just bug them, but thought I'd ask for opinions here
 
Is there any info out there on how many people are interviewed for the seven MD/MPH spots?

Has anyone that has had an interview heard back about a decision yet?

I was wondering the same thing. I interviewed 10/1 and they said we wouldn't hear back for 4-8 weeks. OHSU tends to have one of the longer waiting cycles.

Yeah I interviewed back in September. I guess they lean toward the 8 weeks. Doesn't help that I obsessively check my portal lol.

During my interview they said that they were actually taking 11 students this year! I didn't ask about how many they were interviewing though. If it helps, on my interview day there was only me and one other applicant
 
Just checking in with my favorite state 100 miles south! Looks like y’all are experiencing about as slow of II pace as UW up further north? Do these PNW schools not realize we love the northwest and would really like to know if we get to stay here!?! Well....hopefully it picks up soon. Cheers, Oregon Comrades!
