Get Your Med School Admissions Questions Answered!
This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
For those of you who already interviewed, how do you think it went? What was the format? Is it an MMI?

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!

Anyone knows when they start sending rejections?
I haven’t heard anything from them

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?)

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).

For people who interviewed -- am I understanding this correctly in that aside from the presentations and stuff, our actual interviews are through the portal?

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 :unsure:

Same here
 
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.

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.
