Your file was complete on 08/03/2021.

We have received your secondary application, all letters of recommendation and supporting documentation.

To applicants who meet one or more Mission-Based groups: Your file is currently being screened in the interview selection process….”

And so on. Anyone else have that?

same, just 8/5. For reference when I applied in 2019-20 I was complete around the same time and didnt hear back for an II until December. Hoping my improved app speeds that up this year, but again, it takes OHSU a long time to go from complete to II/ R.

Are you in a missions based group? I am in a few of the OOS ones

can I ask when you submitted your secondary? I did on 7/12 and its been radio silence since then...
 
Submitted secondary 7/25/21, marked complete as of today 8/20/21.
 
For anyone wondering, I submitted my secondary on 8/02/21 and it says application complete on 8/23/21. I am IS.
 
Where do you see the additional status? I should meet a few of the missions based groups and don’t see any extra statuses
It doesn't state my mission group membership status on the secondary webpage - I just included that info for folks if they were curious!
 
Submitted 7/28, but sent my MPH letter on 8/5 and still not complete, should I call them to make sure nothing is wrong. OOS, MD/MPH applicant

I’d give them 30 days before following up, that seems to be around their average time to mark your application completed from the time you submit anything. I’m also unsure if their MPH program is under the school of medicine or separate, so they might have an entirely different department looking into your application simultaneously.
 
I have so many questions about OHSU's process.

It seems like after you submit the secondary application, they take a while to "process" it (?). It also seems like this processing is manual. When they say "Your secondary application has been processed", does that mean that they already confirmed that you fit into one of their mission-based groups, and that you're basically just waiting for an II? Or is being "processed" just another way of saying we are complete regardless of the mission-based thing?

I reckon “processed” means that they’ve received your secondary application, they’ve combed through it to ensure all parts are complete, and you’ve been placed into a categorical pile to be reviewed for an interview invitation.

I believe this because right before my secondary was marked as processed, I received an email asking me to confirm some details on my secondary. Once I confirmed, my status changed.

So to answer your question, I think being “processed” means they’ve categorically placed you. If you marked that you are mission-based and receive no further inquiry, I assume that you fit the bill. If you marked that you are, but you haven’t given enough evidence to support your claims, then they’ll probably follow-up to ask for further information.
 
As a reapplicant, how much should I change my secondary questions? I have some really solid answers, but don't want them to think I did nothing to change who I am etc...

What feedback did they give you about your previous application?
 
Virtual only! Not sure if that could change tho
cool thanks, and good luck

I interviewed in 2019 and it was a cool experience, if a lot of walking (OHSU crazy hospital system lol). But honestly I've been enjoying my virtual interviews in my own home lol so I was curious for this cycle.
 
What feedback did they give you about your previous application?
They liked everything except they were hesitant about my academic performance, which I've worked on.
 
IS applicant, first II on September 13th!
All virtual interviews including MMIs, They plan on using a software called Kira Talent - Anyone know anything about how that works?
Yay congrats! Did you receive an email or was it just on your portal?
 
How long does it take for OHSU to process the secondary app, its been about 1.5 months since I submitted everything?
 
I am a resident of Hawai'i and did my undergrad here, anyone know if I qualify for WICHE/if its worth it? I'm super interested in the school
 
Each WICHE state is different. It is definitely NOT just for undergraduate schools but my impression (as a Montana WICHE student at OHSU) is that Hawaii WICHE does not support MD programs (but does support vet, PT, dental, and a few others).

That said, since Hawaii is a WICHE state, there may be a way to be considered "in-state" for OHSU even if you aren't considered for funding. Might be worth reaching out to the Hawaii commission for higher education to ask. I'm only familiar with Montana's program.
 
IS applicant, first II on September 13th!
All virtual interviews including MMIs,
I just got an II today! How did you respond with your date choices? When they ask to rank your choices 1-5 do they mean just choosing the date of your one on one interview? Or do they want you to pick 5 totally different weeks to have the MMI?
 
II today too, IS. 3.4x/ 511

I interviewed here in 2019-2020 and got waitlisted. Last time I got the II in December. Hopefully a good sign 🙂

(a bit confused on this interview process tho lol)

My email only had one MMI date listed so I’m assuming that’s the only option for that. So I just ranked the interview spots from 1-5

Thank you! Yeah mine as well, their examples were making me second guess myself a little lol
