This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Can anyone who is apart of the accepted students Facebook group comment on how many members are in the group? I know there were about 80 members back in mid February but I’m curious to see how many more acceptances have been offered.
I'm admitted and in an email from the student admissions liaison on 4/4 they stated a little over 140 acceptance offers had been made at that time. There's currently 121 people in the FB group.

Thank you! And from what I remember during the interview, don’t they interview about 500 and accept about 200-250? I remember thinking the odds were about 50/50 once you had an interview that you would get in… so maybe there’s about 100ish spots up for grabs still?

This is actually kinda scary. so worst-case scenario there are only 30 spots left in the class...maybe less

I think slightly less because just an offer doesn’t mean that they accepted it & the spot is filled. Hard to know!
 
The AAMC requires medical schools to give as many admissions offers as there are seats available by March 15. But, like has been said there are likely several people who didn’t accept the offer or have since withdrawn their acceptance who were also accepted to a different school which was their top choice.

Anyone seen the start date for classes??
I’ve seen 9/26, but I’m not seeing it in any super apparent fashion on their website so I’m not wanting to hang my hat on that 🤠
Orientation is second week in August I believe…

For those of you accepted this last Monday would you mind sharing LM scores? Also, do any of you happen to be reapplicants?
 
Accepted on 4/15 on the portal! LM 66 and OOS reapplicant. This thread was such a good resource while I was applying, I’m really rooting for everyone here that hasn’t heard back!

Does anybody know if all initial acceptances will be made up until April 30th or if on April 30th the most acceptances will be sent out? I am trying to figure out what chance I still have of receiving an acceptance on April 30th. I still haven't heard back since I was put on Hold in March.

By April 30, they will either accept, reject or give you a number on the wait list. I think most people are on hold right now. All the initial acceptances will be out then but as people accept other schools, there will be movement on the waitlist.

Thank you for your response ByGrace11! Do you think if we are still on hold, we still have a chance of getting accepted? In other words, now that April 30th is fast approaching, are there still many initial acceptances that OHSU is going to give out up until April 30th?
 
Finally placed on hold today after 4 months. My absolute best to everyone - this is such a long process, but we will make it through one way or another. See you all on April 30th :) stay happy and healthy my friends

OHSU is known for holding onto acceptances until the 30th! I believe only half of the acceptances they usually give have been sent out so far so they is still a very good shot!
Oh man ByGrace11!! Thank you so much for your encouragement! I needed it! :)

Could any current students give a general outline of what a typical week looks like during the pre clinical years?

Apologies if this has been asked already!
 
Could any current students give a general outline of what a typical week looks like during the pre clinical years?

Apologies if this has been asked already!
The basic structure looks something like this:

Monday: Lecture 8-12, Clinical skills lab 1-4
Tuesday: Lecture or Anatomy 8-12, Lecture 1-4
Wednesday: Lecture or Anatomy 8-12, Afternoon often free
Thursday: Usually some lectures on this day...this gradually gets lighter as the year goes on.
Friday: 8-10ish (start time also changes) Exam(s), a few lectures after (which most people seem to watch on Sunday instead)

Every week is a little different and every block is a little different, so this is just an outline. In some blocks, there is no anatomy and CSL is on Tuesday instead. But that should give you a general idea of what to expect. CSL and anatomy are mandatory. Lectures are not (and are recorded).

Make sense?

The weeks are pretty busy but weekly Friday exams are the best because it frees up your weekend for relaxation and fun stuff. I almost never did much work over the weekend. Two or three hours in Sunday evenings, at a maximum.

Does anyone else remember how many students on average they pull off the waitlist? During orientation, I wrote down 23 (think this may have been last year's number?) but I'm just curious if anyone remembers hearing the same thing. Obviously it differs year to year but I am just curious about a rough estimate.

I wrote down 20-25!

I basically blackout every time I come on here and see that more acceptances have gone out but I'm still on hold. Can't help but feel like the vast majority of offers have been made at this point. But let's hope there are still seats left🤞

I refresh this page and the portal every 5 min around noon to see if anymore people got in today 🥲
I wonder why they trickle decisions out the last week, i guess they must have a final day this Thursday to discuss more people (the day before final decisions?) if not everyone should have a score already. Pull that plug boys, I'm ready to be hurt again:cool:

Does anyone know the cost of attendance at OHSU? They list the tuition and fees on their website but not the amount for living expenses etc
How much do students live on assuming they take loans up to the COA?

I know there was a document on the admission portal that listed it but they removed it for some reason
We were told at first look that the living allowance for the past academic year was $2,450 per month. You can get potential increases to budget for certain items, like childcare costs, one time computer purchase, etc.

Maybe they need to finally determine how many acceptances to give out and how many to put on the waitlist? They probably adjust as people accept or decline sports
Who knows.
My stomach is in knots trying to wait for this and preparing for a new cycle just in case
Yea my (hopeful) bet was that they would lower the accept threshold one more time this week now that everyone has been discussed - so there will be one more wave of acceptances. We shall see soon though. Fingers crossed!

Past academic calendars have been posted in the FB group, plus CoA includes tuition and living allowance for Summer 2022
