have there been any post-II R's? wondering if radio silence is a bad thing. nothing but silence for me too like others in the thread, not even hold and my morale is getting pretty low (something like... 13 weeks?)

Don't lose hope! I waited 4 months without a hold before getting the A. I think no hold might mean your interviewer hasn't had the time to meet with the adcom yet, but I'm not 100% sure.

I hope that's true! It just seems like it's been a long time for my interviewer to not have met with the adcom.

sure, 3.9 GPA, 502 MCAT, over 15,000hrs (7years) clinical experience from working in rehab (hospital acute care and skilled nursing occupational therapy assistant and director of rehabilitation). Hx of providing guest lectures and volunteering with Parkinson's groups. Also, have sick kiddo with a rare medical condition that we have been working through for the past three years (hospitalized right before taking the MCAT.)

I spoke with a few OHSU med students about being a non-traditional student and I have come to agree with them that OHSU, more than most schools, seems to value a holistic applicant, and has since before it became a buzzword.

this is super true - anyone reading this thread who might be applying in future cycles - share your genuine self, even if you don't feel particularly remarkable. We all have different journeys that bring different value to the team, share yours.
 
Have any accepted students received any scholarship information? I know in past years they’ve been sent as early as December but not sure if anyone has heard back this year! Should I anticipate full loans or is there a potential for merit/need based scholarships at this point?
 
Any reapplicants getting IIs this year? In the interview exit feedback last year they told me to work on being more concise during the interview. Then this cycle someone in admissions told me that my application looks really strong. No II yet...

I’m a reapplicant and I interviewed back in December! Didn’t change a ton in my application, my feedback from last year was pretty much to include more medically relevant experiences in my interview and connect them to my ~narrative~. However I haven’t heard anything post-interview (not even a hold) so I’m not much better off.

I'm a reapplicant who hasn't been invited for an interview yet either... 🙁
 
I'm not a reapplicant, but I heard from one who just recently got an II after interviewing last year. I wondered if they might be holding your apps for later in the cycle for some reason
 
Coming up on 6 weeks post-ii tomorrow with complete silence. Is this a bad sign?

I'm in the same boat. It's impossible to know, but I think I remember a lot of people who interviewed in January and February last year just never being put on hold, maybe it just feels like a waste of time for them to put you on hold if they'll be giving your decision in a month? Who knows
 
Have they even sent out pre-II rejections for out of state people? I know they usually send those out first and then about a month later tell in-state pre-II rejections but it seems like they are SUPER far behind.... I think I’ve only seen one or two pre-II rejections so I wonder if they’ve even sent out the first wave of rejections....
 
I'm in-state and haven't heard a thing since I sent in my secondary. Should I be concerned??

Quite possibly!! My 1:1 was on 12/7 and it’s been a rough ride waiting

I was on 12/1 for both 1:1 and MMI, the wait is excruciating! I sent an update letter as well and was told it was added to my file so I know they're working hard. Just assuming the wildfires and COVID changes are making it a miserable process for them too. Good luck friend, update if you hear back.
 
Does anyone know the percent for OHSU who are accepted vs rejected post II? Also what percent is pulled from the waitlist?

Last year they went up to #50 on the waitlist and I think they end up accepting about 40% of the people they interview. I think there is a spreadsheet from previous ~10 years showing waitlist movement! I personally do not have it though.

click on the "interview feedback" and you should find a link that goes to a spreadsheet with post II acceptance. I think it's about 50%!
 
I was told they weren't accepting transcripts so was planning to include a letter of intent with some updates and mentioning my grade improvement, but now am seeing on the portal that no updates will be considered or affect decisions. Was I too late or were the updates likely not going to affect decisions?

Last year was a weird year. I believe they only got to #48 on August 10th, which was the 2d day of classes. How do I know this? It was me. I offer you all my condolences on this harrowing process.

I was number 58 💔 and they decreased the class size by ~10 last year for funding reasons, this wait is killing me
 
so after i interviewed i got an email about setting up an account to provide more financial information. should these forms be completed now or should i wait until after i receive a decision?
 
Does anyone know when Second Look Day is? Or maybe when it usually happened in past years?
