They handed those out back in March. Iā€™m sure as people withdraw their acceptances their offers will be given to others next in line.

Has anyone heard back today? When are the next decisions?

I know there should be movement starting May 1 but will there be much movement soon when people withdraw some offers for the April 15 deadline?

Great question. Past threads show there is 1-2 movements off of deferrals between April 15th and May 1. And it makes sense since there are some lagging interviews from late March and early April the committee has to review and compare to others who have been deferred. Disclaimer: I donā€™t know how this year will compare to last. Heck, Iā€™m not even an adcom, just an applicant in WL/deferral purgatory šŸ˜„. Edit: the committee meets once every two weeks, so it would make sense to see at least one more decision period before April 30 for recent interviewers and deferrals.

Heya people! Like the previous post before me, I scanned the threads from past year and there seems to be a lot of movement end of April to early May for the waitlist. There should be another round of decisions coming this week also, which I believe are the final ones before the deferred list becomes waitlist. I checked the MSAR, and it seems to indicate that there was 100 people that got off of the WL last year, so there is still hope, like a giant 100-seat hope! Yall who were interviewed are all awesome people, don't lose hope!

On another note, as I was checking the MSAR, I remembered to check the average student indebtedness of OSU, which was around 182000. I was wondering if this number is just from medical school or also includes other student loans students may have taken prior to OSU?

Does anyone know if there is the possibility of hearing back today regarding acceptances via AMCAS CYMS? I heard it usually updates in the morning around this time a day before either Wed or Friday. I am not sure but I think today might be the last day before May 2nd onwards movement. Praying for all of us hanging there on the deferred list.

If this helps at all: For people who are on the WL, if OSU is your first choice, and you really really wanna join, please consider sending in an update letter or a LOI if you've not already, and if you have, send an update letter/ continued interest if it has been a while. I have heard from some people I met during the school tour(current m1s and ,m2s) and also learned from last year's thread that once given an interview, they do respond well to a good, genuine LOI with some getting that A within days of sending one in.

Can any current student talk about the flexibility of the preclinical years? Outside of lectures, what other stuff takes up most of your time in the ā€œteam based learningā€ category? I know some students have mentioned acronyms like LP, LG, LC, TBL? Thank you in advance! šŸ˜
 
Did anyone just get an email about a merit scholarship? Email says the director of student financial services will contact you in the next few days to explain the details and the specific amount of your award. But we have to narrow down to 1 school by Monday?!?!
 
Ahhh I'm so nervous for tmmrw/ this week! I hope we hear good news this week bc I've heard there's lots of movement. Knock on wood...

I know this week it starts. Has anyone seen any news regarding acceptance on AMCAS CYMS for tomorrow? Are we expected to see these changes on there or just receiving a phone call?
 
I checked the last two years on SDN, and users started posting phone call acceptances the day after the PTE/CTE date. So that would be tomorrow. Good luck to all those hoping to hear from Dr. Rankin! (myself included)

Send it in today, the earlier the better so that they can process it and place it in your file.

No emails yet, and it didnā€™t update the day before like with previous acceptances on this thread. Instead it updated around the time I got the call.

Did they tell you guys how long you had to decide?
Click to expand...
They didnā€™t, but Iā€™m assuming itā€™s according to the deadlines OSU has set in place where you have to commit to enroll by July 18th.

thanks! was just wondering bc a lot of schools have a timespan where you have to choose between any new waitlist acceptances and your previous pte school that is different from the cte date

Does anyone know how often folks on the waitlist have the possibility of hearing? I know the most movement is supposed to happen this first week of May.
