Two semi open file (no academics) 30 min interviews! One of mine was the best of the cycle so far and I felt incredibly validated and respected. Hoping everyone here gets to experience an interview day as wonderful as I did!

Mind sharing stats?
Last year's thread shows pre-II rejections occurred around mid/late October. In 2019 (pre-COVID), pre-II rejections came out in mid-September. The admissions committee meets on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th Wednesday of the month and communicates the results of those meetings between Wednesday and Friday of the same week.
OUWB has stated that they don't delay in communicating your status. If they don't intend on extending an interview, they'll let you know as soon as your app has been reviewed. No news is good news, as that means you are still under consideration.
Thank you so much. So they haven’t rejected anyone yet, right?
Also is there anyone is still waiting for them (completed end of July?)
I'm still waiting and I was complete near the end of july
Possibly. COVID has impacted the MCAT, applications, AMCAS processing, ECs, jobs, etc. It's also likely delayed the rate that schools are processing apps. Some ADCOMs are working completely remote.
One thing to always remember is that SDN =/= the applicant pool. Only a small subset of students post here. Of that subset, only a select amount will post their progress. People are eager to share their successes (interview invites, acceptances), but most won't rush to post their letdowns (waitlists and rejections).

Yeah I know i keep reminding this to myself. But unfortunately I’m very stressed and keep checking these posts. Thank you for your comments
Same. Hopefully we’ll hear something soon

I’ve heard they invite people with higher stats first.
For people who interviewed -- am I understanding this correctly in that aside from the presentations and stuff, our actual interviews are through the portal?
Just got an R! Good luck to everyone!

Damn everybody getting rejected today it seems like.
I’m sorry. Hopefully you’ll get accepted somewhere better than OuWB. Mind sharing stat and when you were complete?
When did you submit your application?
Can people please try to give a general vicinity of when they were complete when posting II or R? Thanks!
Got rejected today. Good luck everyone!
Got rejected as well 😢
Sorry to hear that. Do you mind sharing when you were complete?
Rejected today as well. Complete 8/2. Good luck to those still in it, seems like a good school!

Complete 7/4 and seemed to have dodged the R for now....but also no II. Just silence. I'll take it I guess lol 🙂
What does this mean?

I have no idea. Silence is better than an R right now is I guess what I'm saying. Since I was complete so early I'm guessing I was reviewed already? But who knows how they do things 🤔
Same here
Was complete 8/26 so they rejected me really quick lol

II today!!
Can you please share stats and when you were completed
Does OUWB give merit full tuition scholarships to OOS students? If so, do OOS students have to pay the OOS minus IS tuition difference or is that covered in the full tuition scholarship?
OUWB is a *private* school, but IS and OOS tuition are the same.

MSAR has OUWB listed as public BUT with the same tuition prices lol
I went to one of their online info sessions that clarified their tuition for me. Oakland Univ is public, but Beaumont School of Medicine is private.
Like penn state I think. Though it does seem that penn state prefers PAers
