I was thinking incremental change, but hey, go for it!!!If by "data entry" you mean overhauling the entire process, count me in!
I feel like logically at this point it'll only be a sprinkle of A's and mostly WL and R's. When I was stalking last years thread though there was someone who received an A after their friend already got their WL rank. You'd think OHSU would update portals by groups of A, WL, or R but it seems like they're going by some other system.Do people think more As are coming out, or just waitlists and Rs? It's so hard to know what to expect! ugh
OHSU has a very unique system. I have heard from several others OHSU puts all of our names in a blue and pin-striped cowboy hat, then the names drawn are put into a generic algorithm to produce a number from 1-100. If the person's birthday, who is pulling from the hat, sees a number that is in accordance to their DOB then the person who's name is pulled is accepted.I feel like logically at this point it'll only be a sprinkle of A's and mostly WL and R's.

maybe each person who’s responsible for updating the portals goes off what their horoscope tells them
Or maybe they throw darts at a giant list of us and update the portal of whoever the dart lands on!
horoscope is a bit too regimented. I'm thinking they go off ~the vibe~ they feel when they enter each of our (identical) portals
At least we can all laugh through the pain 😂😂OHSU has a very unique system.

If not, they are rejected. The WL is obviously just a prank though. (Not Adcom, just heard from a friend of a friend's mother-in-law's great aunt).
okay...no joke...but my parents did consult an astrologer.horoscope is a bit too regimented. I'm thinking they go off ~the vibe~ they feel when they enter each of our (identical) portals
Congrats! Did your portal update or did they email you?Just got word I'm #2 on alternate list. Another data point, but hopefully that means WL.
I got a portal update. Sorry I deleted the og post since I was kinda in shock at the moment. But is alternate WL?Is the alternate list the same as the waitlist?
YesIs the alternate list the same as the waitlist?
Lower the number = better the chance you’ll get an A. They go in order so #1 on the waitlist is accepted if 1 person drops their A, so onSo what does a low number on the alternate list means?
Lowest number gets accepted first once a spot opens up and then it goes up from there as spots open.So what does a low number on the alternate list means?
48 I believeDoes anyone know how many people got in off the alternate list last year?
I think you email/call admissionsJust got put on the alternate list, but can't see the number (biggest tease after refreshing 25/8 ugh), is there someone I call to ask as an MD/MPH applicant?
Thank you! Do you think it'd be too early to call today, I feel like I still have no idea whether I have a chance or no without my number 😭48 I believe
I think you email/call admissions
You can try! My portal hasn’t updated yet but if I end up waitlisted, I’ll be in the same situation. I can’t imagine having to wait until Monday!Thank you! Do you think it'd be too early to call today, I feel like I still have no idea whether I have a chance or no without my number 😭
I’m an MD/MPH applicant too and I just got put on the alternate list. I can’t see my rank either. 😭Just got put on the alternate list, but can't see the number (biggest tease after refreshing 25/8 ugh), is there someone I call to ask as an MD/MPH applicant?
I called and went to voicemail, hopefully you have better luck!I’m an MD/MPH applicant too and I just got put on the alternate list. I can’t see my rank either. 😭
Send an email too!I called and went to voicemail, hopefully you have better luck!
sameI got ranked a number that will almost positively get an acceptance but I'm slightly bummed it's not an A yet but also overwhelmed that I have gotten so close!!!
Same. Feeling like an R is coming 😔Are other md/mph folks still waiting for an update at all? I’m still on hold ughhh
Last year 48 were accepted off the list, but back in 2011 (I think), 106 were accepted off the list.Got on waitlist at a rank past like 80 lmfao that's basically like a rejection right? Idk how the waitlist movement works at OHSU.
Thank you so much! I truly wish you all the best!Just emailed to withdraw my MD/MPH acceptance. I’m super confused because OHSU popped up on the choose my medical school tool so I felt pressured to narrow down to 1 today but I think I’m making the right decision. Really wish I had more time but so long, I hope the spot goes to one of y’all
Ok same hereOk but like... did they forget about me ☹️
We must all have the same person ?? Cause sameOk same here
Interesting! I got the same email. My portal just says “you’ve been selected to the alternate list.” There isn’t a ranking on mine.In the email for alternates it says "Dual degree applicants will see notification of their portal status, but not the rank number". but I see a rank and I am a MD/MPH applicant...? Is that supposed to mean something?
