Thank you! Anxious as this is my last chance to get into a Michigan MD program ... WL at CMU, MSU, and Wayne 🙁

WL just now, interviewed in Dec

Anyone know the Match rate for ouwb? It says 110 M4's matched from class of 2020. Is that out of the usual class of 125?

The class of 2020 was smaller than the current size of 125. I believe since opening only 1 student has not matched. Every year has been 100% match rate, except I think last year was 99%.

To go off of this, class sizes can vary as some students decide to no longer pursue medicine and some take gap years for research 🙂

The waiting game isn't easy 😂 I am anxiously waiting to see if Oakland accepts me before I put a deposit down at a different school.

Honestly if I don’t hear back on wed/thurs I’ll be sad lol

 

[Arthur Morgan]

Has anybody who interviewed before 12/15 heard back from admissions yet?

Interviewed 12/4 and haven't heard back yet either

How many II's is Oakland still gonna send out? I was complete back in July but haven't been paying attention the threads because otherwise I'd go insane, so any luck of still getting an II here? (IS btw)

People got II last week but idk how many more they plan to send out

From personal anecdotes, I have 3 or 4 friends who received their interview invites in February and got accepted. So basically as long as OU didn't reject you pre-interview yet, you still have a chance.

 

[studoc133]

Sent an update letter in mid November, still silence pre II. Think it'd be worth sending a letter of continued interest?

 

[Med_For_Life]

Y'all think they will be calling people today?

 

[GK22]

Keeping our fingers crossed. Looking back at previous notification dates, some of them did occur on a Thursday evening.

When were you complete?

 

[studoc133]

When were you complete?

I was complete like 8/3 lol

 

[Sabr1]

I was complete like 8/3 lol

I was complete 9/28 so I probably have no chance for a interview 😭

Lol do you know around what time?

 

[rumba73]

Nobody heard anything today?

 

[jags2thesuperbowl]

Nope

 

[Arthur Morgan]

Nobody heard anything today?

Haven’t heard anything either.

 

[GK22]

I interviewed 6 weeks ago and I'm sure people on here have been waiting for longer but I need to know whether I should put a deposit down somewhere else. Being left in the dark for another week doesn't help guide my decision.

 

[ClutchDropout]

Hey guys! What's the latest complete date someone got an interview this cycle so far? I think I saw early September as the latest. I was complete very late so my shred of hope is nearly gone.

 

[Med_For_Life]

[MedApps2021]

Hello! I was wondering if anyone else from the 12/18 interview group has heard back yet? I’m really interested in attending OUWB and haven’t heard back and am getting a bit worried!

Also, has anyone uploaded update letters, and do you have any advice for writing those?

I interviewed the same day and haven't heard back either

 

[Just_Daikon]

I wouldn't worry too much about this. They have Dan Kallenberger call accepted people individually which takes time(back in Oct. people heard back both Thurs and Fri). Also, if your interviewers arent there to advocate for you at that specific adcom meeting, your decision gets delayed as well until your interviewers are there.

 

[Arthur Morgan]

Same. I interviewed on 12/18 too and there are others here that have interviewed before that date as well who also haven’t heard back.

 

[Arthur Morgan]

Got a WL email.

 

[winwin1000]

Has anyone been 3rd tier waitlisted?

 

[emttomd123]

Also WL'ed this afternoon. 1st/2nd tier. Hoping to see some movement in the spring🙂

WL this afternoon, interviewed 12/18
