2020-2021 Ohio State

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Also recently admitted. Is info on student health requirements something that's already been communicated to previously admitted students? I want to get physicals/vaccines in order before I quit my job and lose insurance coverage. Couldn't find anything on buckeye link that was specific to the med school. Thanks!

You guys say morning, what time does that typically mean? Before 6:00 AM or more normal like 9:00-10:00? Thanks. Congrats. You were one of the last to get deferred, so that’s wired why they would make you wait a little longer.

10:30 EST I was still in bed in my timezone when I got the call, it was an unknown number so I let it go to voicemail, jumped out of bed when I saw who the voicemail was from. Maybe they just wanted that letter of intent I sent haha, either way, I'm just happy to be accepted!
 
Anyone off the waitlist notice the CYMS tool change to indicate OSU acceptance before they got the call?
 
Does anyone know their process with the Certiphi background check? Will I get an email specifically for them, or if I completed it for another school already do they have access to that automatically?
 
I got a call from a private number an hr ago, could be a scam call but wanted to check. The caller didn’t leave a message and my voicemail is active, so I am starting to think it’s a scam. Anyone have a similar call by chance?

When I missed the call from a private number they left a voicemail with a number to call back to. Doesn't mean it wasn't them per say, but I don't see why they wouldn't have left a voicemail.

Is it worth following up with them to see if they were the ones who called? It was the first time I got a private # call I can remember. I feel like they would have called again Monday, though, if it was them or left a voice message as you guys said when they called. My ringer was on, so that‘s another wierd thing with why I missed the call.

Just check cyms or vitals your decision would be updated there
 
Got the call, accepted top choice, IS, reapplicant, interviewed January and taken off the waitlist this week. Sent an update and letter of interest late March. Good luck to everyone still out there, I've seen people say they got accepted June/July and know a couple of people that had that happen to them too 🙂

Do you (or anyone else) know IS students taken off the waitlist after May? I feel like June/July is mainly OOS to make the class close to 50/50 but may be wrong.

JUST GOT THE CALL! Does anyone know how long I have to decide I didnt get an email yet with info

Congrats! I got the call early in the morning and it was like midnight that the first email came. The next day I could see a change on vitals. The Choose your medical school tool was up I think right away though. Since then it's just been a stream of sporadic emails with some stuff to do

I think one was IS and the other two were OOS
 
Are there any current med students on here who had to apply for in state tuition? If so can you DM me I have some questions on what documents you turned in. 😂 I knew the requirements were a lot but WOW 😅
 
Has anyone ever had luck with calling admissions and asking their odds of getting off the waitlist? OSU is my top choice but I feel like at some point I need to just commit to my other option

I emailed them earlier this week and all they said is that it’s tough to predict movement :/ they weren’t too informative
 
can anyone tell me how full the group me is right now? Is it a good indication of where they are at in the process or do a majority of students not not join the group me or Facebook page. It’s not like this information is in your acceptance email, so they have to be part of SDN or other chat to get into it?

Hmm ok, so as I was saying do they get the invitation to join the group me through things like SDN so there may be more than 142? also, its not a guarantee that all of them are commit to enroll at OSU, so that’s another factor.
 
Interestingly, the equivalent page at Cincinnati (which usually has ~180 matriculants vs 220 at OSU) has 223 members in its page. I wonder what accounts for the discrepancy.

The page is full of med students from different years. Offering housing/selling things/etc.

We got an email from OSU with links to the facebook page, and from there we have a group me but most everyone is on the Slack instead

How many are in the slack then? I want to judge how much of the class is full at this point. If those in slack are only 8ncoming students and not other years that should work to estimate I guess.
