When was your interview? and Stats?
Click to expand...
Interview was March 10th. 3.94ish GPA, 515 MCAT. OOS (Utah). ORM.

6' 1¾" in socks. Husky, but big boned. 5.4 40 yard dash and 8 inch vertical.

I really just think showing the admissions committee my puppy sealed the deal.

I only had two interviews and got outright rejected by my alma mater (where Urban Meyer coached before Florida) the day after my Ohio State Interview. Means the world. Thanks everyone who helped me on here. Go Buckeyes!
 
OSU is pretty much done handing out interviews at this point unless there's a cancellation for these last few interview days. Just wanna say to everyone that got in a big CONGRATS because I know you will love it and will come to love Columbus if you have never been here. Take care of my dreamschool for me :') you're all going to be great doctors

Do you have an acceptance elsewhere? I was rejected from my dream schools pretty early this cycle (MI applicant here), and finally reached a point where I realized that any school that I end up at and form a support system at will be my dream school. I really hope this is true for everyone.
 
Did anyone hear back yet about financial aid? Trying to keep informed before the end of April
 
Has anyone waitlisted here sent a letter of interest/intent? When vitals updated it no longer has that part talking about where to send updates so I am curious if they don't want people sending anything or if it would even be worth it to send something.

Also does OSU ever tell us where we sit on the waitlist?
 
Hey all, I'm having a hard time finding concrete information about OSU's grading system. Are the preclinical years true pass/fail or tiered? And is there internal ranking? Thanks in advance for your help 🙂

Per talking to a friend who's there a few weeks ago. Internal rankings, P/F but you can see like "X score was Y percentile" and things like that so you can pretty much judge where you're at, but also says it feels as noncompetitive as if it was P/F. I'm not admitted here so please correct me if I'm wrong, but a friend goes there and I was asking them about it a while back

This sounds about right from what I’ve heard. P/F with low key internal rankings but even those don’t make the environment cutthroat at all.

Well...guess I'm deferred. I don't understand why, I felt both my interviews were strong 😕

I would not worry! I interviewed mid February and was deferred. I got accepted 3/25. During my interview I was also told not to worry since a large portion of students get deferred and accepted eventuly. My interviewer experienced that as well! I am wishing an Acceptance for you soon!! 🙂

Thanks so much for saying this!! I interviewed in September and was deferred...still on the deferral list now. Except, I have to say that that was my first interview and my responses to a few questions were rocky...just hoping this it's not a soft reject in my case...

Word of advice: Don't get too complacent like I did last week. 😕

I’m realistic about it. This was my top choice and my only II for the season so I’ve already been preparing my reapplication. If I get in I get to cancel my MCAT retake, if I don’t I have more motivation to make my app that much better next year!
 
Rejected on April Fools.

I got a separate email about the scholarship. I only have loans posted right now, but according to the scholarship email, the scholarship amounts will be reflected on the website in June, I think

Will this Thursday be the last decision day?
Click to expand...
I don’t believe so. Every two weeks until April 30th and then the deferred list turns into a waitlist. So there’s two more decision days the 8th this week and the 23rd. After that it becomes a waitlist that’s active until the first day of orientation with relatively high movement from past years. But who know with Covid this year. A lot of people holding multiple A’s but OSU is a really good program already.

edit: 22nd. The 23rd is a Friday
