Congrats!! Can you share what the portal page looks like/where it’s written when updated
Notes to you from OHSU Admissions:
MD applicantCongrats!! Were you an MD applicant or MD/MPH?
i might have a **** memory but i genuinely don’t remember having a video based mmi. wym by that.Can anyone share what the video MMI was generally like without disclosing anything confidential?
There is talk that they are interviewing until April so there's still some time. It wouldn't hurt to send an update.Are interviews done? I have nothing but radio silence since my submission and assessing whether it's worth sending a late update
I didn't send it through the portal I sent mine in an email!I can't figure out how to upload update letters to the admissions portal. Where/what is button titled to get to a doc upload page from main page? Thanks
The MMI s are being done via video due to COVID but it shouldn't make a difference content wise.i might have a **** memory but i genuinely don’t remember having a video based mmi. wym by that.
I ve heard they re remote this year bc covid. But its probably the same content.i might have a **** memory but i genuinely don’t remember having a video based mmi. wym by that.
The MMIs are just virtual. All the details are in the interview invitation email they send very in-depth instructions.The MMI s are being done via video due to COVID but it shouldn't make a difference content wise.

I asked the admissions office how to submit updates and got these instructions. We do accept application updates. Please send them as a PDF to [email protected]. Do not forget to include your AMCAS ID in your update.I can't figure out how to upload update letters to the admissions portal. Where/what is button titled to get to a doc upload page from main page?

ah yeah they are done virtually obviously but you are still talking with real, live people on the other side. it’s not recorded or anything like that.The MMI s are being done via video due to COVID but it shouldn't make a difference content wise.

That is a pretty terrible...I hope the guy loses his medical license.Things to ask OHSU about at second look/Q&As
TikTok Doc harassed Portland colleague with texts, photos, unwanted sexual advances, $45 million lawsuit alleges
The full lawsuit: DocumentCloud
Complete institutional failure to protect its employees.
He was let go in August from his residency, but the article states he's in florida workingThat is a pretty terrible...I hope the guy loses his medical license.
They allowed him to switch into a new residency in Florida. I think the most concerning part was the number of mandated reporters she disclosed to, and they failed to report.He was let go in August from his residency, but the article states he's in florida working
This is awful. Looking at the complaint, those are some big names at OHSU she disclosed to and they essentially did nothing... some of whom I follow on twitter.They allowed him to switch into a new residency in Florida.

"The woman shared details of her allegations against Campbell with at least 13 OHSU employees, including six in leadership positions, the suit says."
Probably the most surprising thing about the inaction of the faculty is that Esther Choo was involved in that inaction, due to her heavy involvement with this exact topic (sexual harassment, assault, and misconduct in medicine).This is awful.

Also, this line... "OHSU informed plaintiff's healthcare provider that it would not pay for her mental health therapy because OHSU's sexual misconduct fund had run out of money."
Yes - about 6-8 weeks for Step1 and 3-4 weeks for Step2Does the OHSU curriculum offer designated study periods for STEP 1 and STEP 2s? If so, how long?

Thanks, what is the the 'about' distinction due to? Rotation length?Yes - about 6-8 weeks for Step1 and 3-4 weeks for Step2
Maybe write it in an update to them? Like say I finished xyz classes and it raised my gpa by this much.I was told that they were not accepting transcripts from universities at this time. Was this something that changed because it's after interviews, I'm feeling a little bit gutted since my updated grades improve my GPA a lot and am wondering whether it would have been different if I sent them earlier
Some decide to schedule earlier than others just depending on how prepared they are feelingThanks, what is the the 'about' distinction due to? Rotation length?
I just sent one and they thanked me for it and added it to my file. IDK if it is beneficial per se, but I don't think it hurts. the portal does note that "further updates will not reopen your file or change the committee's decision" but they do take the updates.Apologies if this has been asked earlier in the thread, but how does OHSU feel about letters of intent? I am still waiting to hear post interview but assuming i get placed on hold is a LOI beneficial or do they not accept them?
Do you know if the portal said the same about further updates not reopening a file prior to the interviews? I'm just trying to figure out if I would have been able to make a difference by making one sooner 😅I just sent one and they thanked me for it and added it to my file.

Letters of Intent only work on the waiting list.Do you know if the portal said the same about further updates not reopening a file prior to the interviews? I'm just trying to figure out if I would have been able to make a difference by making one sooner 😅
Thanks! I meant other updates/transcripts, but it's good to know to wait with the LOI's!Letters of Intent only work on the waiting list.
Not sure this is entirely true for OHSULetters of Intent only work on the waiting list.
I sent an update 12/7 and then received an II 1/6. No idea if it had any influence.Thanks! I meant other updates/transcripts, but it's good to know to wait with the LOI's!
I sure hope not. That would be horrible!Is this pretty much it for anymore possible IIs?
After you sent your update essay, was it eventually reflected in your portal that they received it?I sent an update 12/7 and then received an II 1/6. No idea if it had any influence.
Can you give some of your stats?MD applicant
I don’t think it was ever reflected in my portal (but I also don’t recall checking). They sent me an email letting me know it would be added to my file.After you sent your update essay, was it eventually reflected in your portal that they received it?
Thanks! If you or anyone could check your portal to see if it shows the essay was added, I would really appreciate it! Thanks!I don’t think it was ever reflected in my portal (but I also don’t recall checking). They sent me an email letting me know it would be added to my file.
Mine didn't have it on the portal. I also clicked view application and it wasn't there either.Thanks! If you or anyone could check your portal to see if it shows the essay was added, I would really appreciate it! Thanks!
The interviews are set m-f, I'm not sure they'll be able to accommodate a weekend interview. I would call in sick that day for sure.Recently invited for an interview mid-March. Is anyone else in this II-wave?
This is incredibly important to me, however, I do not believe I can get work off. I hope they are understanding, I do want to be admitted to OHSU but I have a strict responsibility to work M-F. I will keep you all posted, congratulations to those who were already accepted!
I’d try your best to get time off of work! I’m pretty sure they only do the orientation + interviews M-W. I don’t think they’d be able to set up an entire MMI rotation on a separate day, especially a weekend. I work M-F too, but my manager understood this was something I couldn’t miss. Best of luck!Recently invited for an interview mid-March. Is anyone else in this II-wave?

Yeah, there’s nothing on my portal indicating I sent an update. I’m sure it’s just added to our file to view behind the scenes. They may not even look at it!Thanks! If you or anyone could check your portal to see if it shows the essay was added, I would really appreciate it! Thanks!
