those who most recently interviewed should have the date in their emails from after the interview day! I think they also send a reminder in the mailAnyone know when the next decision day is?
they release decisions every two weeks on a Thursday,Anyone know when the next decision day is?
I had my virtual talk with a student today, and if anyone is on the fence about contacting a student from that spreadsheet they link in their interview invite, do it. The student I spoke with was very informative and friendly, and didn't sugarcoat the pros (and cons!) of the curriculum requirements, research and mentorship opportunities, inclusion, etc. I was really pleased with how forthcoming the conversation was!
I wanna +1 the spreadsheet. I reached out to current students who went to my undergrad and shared my interests, so our convo and pros/cons mentioned were tailored specifically to my interests and background. I'm on the fence too, and honestly the biggest two pros of OSU to me are Columbus (young, diverse city with a lot of culture, esp for the midwest), many people match back to my home state, personalizable curriculum, and COST. Cons are that it's less personalized that my other school, in state tuition is annoying to get, communication about COVID hasn't been greatWhat pros/cons did they mention? I was accepted a couple weeks back and am currently on the fence between OSU and another school.

I think a previous poster said that it wasn't as easy as it was made out to be. I can't figure out how to multiquote lol but it's on page 9 of this forum. The spreadsheet is on your VITALS portal post II!Thanks for the insight! Would it be possible for you to DM/post the spreadsheet?
Also, I was under the impression that getting in state tuition after the first year was pretty straightforward. I can’t remember where I saw the exact figure, but I thought it was something like 90% of OOS got IS tuition.
The requirements to get Ohio residency are online. From what I’ve gathered you have to prove that you are 100% financially independent, live there for 12 months, you can’t leave the state for more than 30 days and you can’t be gone for more than 2 weeks at a time. You have to register to vote, get a license and register your car.Thanks for the insight! Would it be possible for you to DM/post the spreadsheet?

When were you complete if you don’t mind me asking?II this morning.
Stats below. ORM
Born in Ohio, left after high school.
Interview date is Feb 1st.
07/25! 👍When were you complete if you don’t mind me asking?
I'm wondering the same thing. Still on the waitlist here but it would be nice to know if they match.Does anyone recommend reaching out to them to find out if they’d be willing to match a scholarship? Any recommendations about how to go about this?
100% apply since it's your in-state school (I'm assuming). Your stats are definitely good enough to apply!Hi everyone. I will be applying in summer of 2021. OSU is my goal school. However, I was unsure of my stats and did not know whether its worth applying. My cGPA is 3.76. My sgpa is around a 3.58. My mcat is a 520 though. I did really poorly in one of my science classes. I will be retaking next fall. I wanted to do it before my application, but I just don't have the funds right now. I do have some good extracurriculars. Is it worth applying to OSU because I know they are really competitive. Also, I am a ORM born and raised in ohio.
Def do it! your MCAT is wild! it makes up for the lower sGPAHi everyone. I will be applying in summer of 2021. OSU is my goal school.

Just to piggy back off of what everyone else has said stats aren't everything either. Your stats are more than good enough to get in but having scores under the 50th or even 10th percentile doesn't mean it's not worth applying because schools what well-rounded applicants. I'd definitely apply if I were you.Hi everyone. I will be applying in summer of 2021. OSU is my goal school. However, I was unsure of my stats and did not know whether its worth applying.

I second jwar's message above mine. My MCAT was <10th percentile here and I was in the first 1-2 groups of interviews and in the first group of acceptances.Hi everyone.

I'm not an adcom, but from what I've heard talking to admissions/advisors is that retakes are only frowned upon if you don't improve significantly (E.g. go from a 500 to a 503 or something) A rule of thumb one adcom told me this past spring was if you aren't confident you'll be 6+ points higher, don't retake cause I debated retaking a mid/high 5teen trying to get a 520+ after I dropped a couple on test day. However, some schools may care about it differently, but I'd say general rule of thumb is if you improved (which you damn sure did), then it doesn't matter (also keep in mind it takes an entire application, not just the MCAT, but a great MCAT does open a ton of doors/get you attention). Best of luck to you!Thank you for everyone's advice. I think I just get worried really easily. Even though I did well on my MCAT, it was only because it was my 2nd attempt. The first time I took it, I got below a 500 and honestly, it was because my nerves really got to me. Even though I did well on my retake, my advisor told me it would be difficult to seek admission because retakes are frowned upon. So, I was just confused and worried.
I am so happy for UUUUI have been deferred since October 29th and just got accepted this morning! One of my top choices because of the chance to gain in-state tuition! Woohoo! 🤓
For those that are deferred don't lose hope! I was pretty down on myself when it happened to me but people on this thread were super supportive and reassuring. Lean on others for support because there aren't many people that truly understand what you're going through right now. It will turn out eventually!
Also got an interview this morning and didn't see it until now! Complete in July, instate, interview pre-scheduled to early February.

Bump that **** up to 6 feet bro, she won’t notice dw.516/3.84/5'8/5'10 on Tinder
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Bump that **** up to 6 feet bro, she won’t notice dw.
Thank you! Technically out of state (left after high school)Congratulations! Are you in state or out of state?
For what it's worth, I received an email from them a while back that read as follows:"Forever Buckeyes, a provision included in the FY 12‐13 budget bill, extends the in‐state resident tuition rate to any public or private Ohio high school graduate* who leaves the state but returns to enroll in an undergraduate or graduate program at an Ohio college and also establishes residency in Ohio."
I know they extend the tuition rate if you leave, I wonder if it plays any part into their admission policies...
We will notice 😉🤣Bump that **** up to 6 feet bro, she won’t notice dw.
I’ve been looking at the previous years threads and all of them start back up on Jan 26-29. I’m assuming they’ll continue with this scheduleDoes anyone know if decision releases are going to start again next Thursday on the every 2-week decisions release schedule?
NoComplete 10/4 no word yet. I sent an update/letter of intent yesterday. OOS but HS and undergrad in Ohio. Moved to WA ten years ago and got my MSW then BSN. 10 years in healthcare. Currently have 1 DO acceptance but I really want to come back to Ohio. Should I give up hope?
I did not get anything about oneSorry if this has been asked before -- is there an accepted students GroupMe/ Facebook?
Because interviews go until the end of March, I would wait until closer to the end of January to send. But you can definitely send a update before receiving an II. It can't hurt your chances. I don't know if this is still the case but during my cycle they interviewed a lot of the in state applicants towards the end of the cycle, and I've also heard there's a limit on how many OSU grads they will put in one interview. So don't give up hope! There still could be an II coming your way in the near future!Thoughts on pre-II letter of interest or update? My only real update since my primary AMCAS is a job promotion and my JAMA paper listed as in-press/pending acceptance was finally published.

A increasingly desperate IS, OSU grad
