In a recent information session, OSU college of medicine answered the most asked question here: do they reject anyone post interview? A: very rarely. Hopefully, this question will be answered for students with that question looking back onto the chat now.

They also said that update letters don’t get stored where your application is, which may mean that they don’t get give as much weight to those over the year compared to what you have before applying. That would suck, but it is what it is.

I received a deferment for my matriculation until the Fall of 2022 last Wednesday, which looks to be the same day @Wanan got a call.

Gotcha! I haven’t heard of a deferment of matriculation until Fall 2022 before, what exactly does that entail?

It just means that you apply to start in 2021 but then ask the office of admission to grant you a deferral so you do not start medical school until 2022. If they grant a deferral, you do not need to apply again. Basically, I withdraw 2021 acceptance for a 2022 acceptance. Usually, it’s for personal reasons or because you have an opportunity that you cannot pass up that will be unavailable in the future (the second is why I asked for a deferral). I had originally planned on starting in 2021 but I couldn’t pass up this opportunity and I’m so thankful Ohio State gave me a deferral because it is my dream medical school.

Any WL movement recently? Contemplating about emailing them about my continued interest in the program and my intent to enroll if accepted, good or bad idea?

Not sure about recent movement, but this is a good idea. Can't hurt your chances and could help

Congrats!! That’s so relieving! I just wanted to ask if you were IS/OOS and stats if you are comfortable sharing. I’m currently waitlisted there with no acceptances so trying to find some hope!

Hey guys reapplying here this cycle and was wondering if anyone that got accepted or if any current students can read my secondary essays and give me advice?

Does anyone currently living in Columbus have any advice for where to move? I am currently looking at apartments down town and in short north.

There's apartments around campus that are super cheap but campus is surrounded by a horrible area so I'd be careful walking at night and such

From the Toledo SDN, group Me is not accurate. In previous years there was movement during this week before CTE. Anyone recently contact admissions about waitlist chances?
