I got my alternate number and final decision in the afternoon on the 30th, so they took until the very last possible day for at least some people 😅 not sure how that’ll be this year with the 30th being a Saturday
I am literally in the same position, I'm praying I get a decision before May 1
A friend of mine who started med school a few years ahead of me gave me this advice which I think could be valid in your situation. He told me, at the end of the day, you'll probably have somewhere around $250k in debt. A $1000 deposit in the grand scheme of things is fairly irrelevant. I'm incredibly cheap but it made sense to me.
Just FYI for you all, OHSU announced in an email to us that final decisions (accepted, rejected, ranked waitlist) will come by April 29th.
Not sure anyone responded to you. To my knowledge you cannot ask where you are as they still have not decided what they will do. Unfortunately, I think you just have to wait until April 29th at the latest for them to release the final decisions on your status.
how long have you been waiting? I interview 11/2 so I'm just curious
10/14 was my MMI
No idea actually. I read somewhere it was June. I recommend asking the Facebook group that current students created for us if you’ve been accepted. They can probably give you an idea.
I hope to be your classmate next year. I know this isn't the outcome you've really been hoping for, but I think I can speak for everyone on this SDN thread that we are rooting for you!!!
Yay! I also had my MMI on 10/14, still waiting for a response 🙏
congratulations future doctor! Here I was thinking they would only reach out on Fridays.
I second this
I was accepted via portal ~5 days before I received an email confirmation.
Good to know! Thank you!
OHSU M1 here. This year it's June 20-24. For 2023, who knows? Maybe the week after Father's day again?
Super short waitlist last year - somewhere around 30. The good news is this year's MD class is expected to be 150 students (up from 140).
Oh they’re going back to 150? That’s good news
thank god
Ah, but there won't be a summer break next year. We'll have one this summer, then an extra week of winter break this year, and then no summer break at all next summer.
Darn that sucks, I didn’t realize that was changing. Is there schedule that can be viewed anywhere or does that come out at a later date?
Congrats!! When was your interview?
I'm not aware of one. Sorry.
Early December
I was accepted a couple days ago and requested to join that group. Do you know how to get into it?
Same here, except that I applied last year. I have already given up and have started taking Computer Science classes to pursue a career in software engineering. I don't believe anymore that becoming a medical doctor is worth all my anguish for the last several months or the future effort and financial cost I would need to put in for the next few years.
I remember you from my cycle and was pulling for you!
I’ve said this once before but I think it bears repeating. The first two times I applied to med school (applications spaced out by about 3 years), I didn’t get a single interview. The third and final time I applied, I got 3 interviews total and then waitlisted for OHSU and one other program. Probably paid for around 80 applications in total over all my attempts. I definitely wasn’t up in the 170’s that final time but based on the historical data I was right at the potential cutoff of acceptance. Even had a spreadsheet and used trends to try and estimate exactly what day I might find out if I got in or not. Ended up making it in very late in the cycle. Point being, apparently my two previously failed attempts at even securing an interview didn’t preclude me from securing one on the third attempt, and they obviously didn’t impact me negatively as far as alternate placement and finally getting in. Try not to let the neuroticism get you. Just because you were 170 the first time doesn’t mean you’ll end up stuck there again.
