pre-II R a few days ago. This wording though

...
  • Non-resident applicants with superior achievements in academics and other related experiences. For the 2021 cycle, superior achievements are defined as significant experiences in healthcare, leadership, extracurricular activities, and/or community service activities.
  • Applicants whose personal experience demonstrates the ability to overcome adversity and contributes to diversity in the provision of healthcare.
This year the number of qualified applicants in the aforementioned groups significantly exceeded the available placements. In screening your file it was determined that you did not meet any of the above categories. Therefore, we regret to inform you that placement in the entering class of 2021 cannot be offered to you.

...

Guess none of my experiences are significant (-_-)
This was truly rough and was slightly hurtful because I spent a lot of time building up my CV. LOL. Guess there goes my research fellowship and publications out the door. What do these adcoms want from us!??! 😱

Pre II R. High stats OOS. Guess years of military service and many seasons of firefighting on an OR Hotshot crews isn't sufficient leadership or service experience for them....

Does anyone have an idea of where OHSU is at in this application cycle? A family friend who works there said everything is delayed due to COVID but I’m not sure by how much.

End Of Day Routine:

Congratulations!!! When did you interview? Would you happen to have any tips? Mine is coming up in a couple of weeks.
about a month ago! my advice would be knowing specifically what you are interested in studying in epidemiology how / why would you be interested in studying it. and, of course, why OHSU is the right place to help you do that.
