Is it too neurotic to email them about my app if I sent it in in early july but havent heard back yet? Its one of my top choices
I would say definitely go for it! They might not be able to tell you a lot but I don't think it hurts to follow up
Anyone have insight on when round 2 decisions come out?
Interview tomorrow morning, any last minute wisdom/ advice ?
Be yourself.

This was hands down the best interview experience I have ever had. You can tell OUWB truly cares about their students and is very true to their word.

Agreed
100%. Dan Kallenberger is the man. He makes the full-day interview experience worth it
Attended 8 MD IIs so far, every school has a Dan and every school makes the same promises. Don't inhale their copium 🙂
damn 15 II!! !?
You’re doing an absolutely amazing job this cycle!! Care to spare an II out of generosity? 😅
Let’s not invalidate someone else’s awesome experience and just be happy that they had a great time 🙂
Idk I’ve interviewed at a ton of schools 13 and this has been the best experience. Interviewed at 4 other MD’s and none of them compared Dan is such a nice guy and he seems very genuine and caring
Also! I was into the fact that because they’re very young, they have an easier time incorporating feedback from their students and it certainly shows. Definitely harder to do that at an established institution where precedent has been set. Not that it matters, but I’ll bet they’ll crack the top 100 in like the next 5 years.
Congrats on double-digit interviews to both of you!! Would you mind sharing what you think has made you such a highly coveted applicant this cycle? You can PM me if you prefer!
I mean seriously this school has made a whole new Facebook group for accepted students to join and ask questions to staff and connect with one another and current students at the school. Out of my 9 acceptances this has been the only school to do something like that. The community here is unreal.
I think it’s about how you talk about your experiences more than anything. You’ll see 4.0/520+’people not getting interviews and I think a huge portion of this process is writing well and painting your narrative right.
I agree with @SpideyMD. Attended 7 MD IIs, and no school matched Dan and the entire OUWB interview experience imo. Seems like we just have different experiences.
I really despise getting into this high II circle-jerk but fully agree with these two. OUWB has one of the better interview days and I could tell they incorporate the feedback we give. The community is amazing and the acceptance call made me feel so incredibly appreciated as a candidate. They truly do care about all of us and I can't say that about a lot of the other schools I've been accepted at
Yeah I didn’t mean it in that way my bad I just meant I feel like I have a lot of experience and this has been the best imo
Are the 1st batch of As done?

If I haven’t heard back and interviewed 9/29 is it a waitlist or R? I haven’t looked too deeply in past threads.

Not necessarily, it probably just means that they haven't gotten to your file yet.
im interested in attending WSU but have been hearing that their med school is declining significantly since they lost affiliations with hospitals and that it'll be harder to get into competitive specialties. have even been hearing some people say OU WB > WSU MED. would y’all think that WSU>OU?
Washington State U , you mean ?
A ok that makes more sense

Both of them are great schools, and this question is hard to answer. But, it's worth it to note that WSU Med dates back to 1868, while OUWB began in 2008.
Any 10/14 interviewers here who thinks decisions will come out this week?
That's what I'm hoping!!
