Just got a II this morning! I really lost all hope but I’m really excited! Anyone that interviewed have any advice ? I’m bad at MMIs
OSU's interview is an MMI format? or is it traditional? Or a mix of both?

OSU has a traditional interview. In the morning, you have a few info sessions with your interview group, and then in the afternoon, it's just two one-on-one 45 minute interviews with faculty and/or students.
Are the one-on-one interviews structured or more conversational?
semi-structured, they have a few questions they wanna hit but it goes pretty conversational, i enjoyed them
Hello congrats on your success!, out of curiosity for OSU in particular, is there time for us to ask questions in the morning Interview sessions? Approximately, How many applicants were in the interview group/cohort for that morning session?

For those who interviewed and applied for PCT did they let you know if you were interviewing for the 4 year md or the 3 year PCT before the interview?

this is what i'm trying to figure out too!
Yes they did! It said specifically on the portal that the interview was for PCT

Where on the portal? on the home page? I feel like i'm blind haha
On Vitals, when you receive an interview, it says PCT in the text at the top of the front page and has a 2 day interview schedule below it, day 1 with the regular MD program and day 2 with the PCT only. So if you only did a 1 day interview, then it was for regular MD! Hope that helps 🙂
ETA: just saw you got an II in Feb. Unfortunately PCT decisions came out early Feb, so presumably the interview is for MD only. Sucks they didn’t communicate that better!

Congrats on getting accepted to PCT, bean-sprout and anyone else! I got a WL decision earlier this month and since there’s only like four people accepted, I don’t know what the chances are of getting off it. But, bc I’m OOS and I’d have to take extra prereqs if I somehow did get accepted, I’d really like to know as soon as possible. Can anyone who got accepted to PCT reply or PM me and let me know if you are certain or not sure yet if you’ll be attending OSU? Thanks!

okay cool! yeah I checked my portal and emailed them and it looks like it was for the regular interview. I think they should have just clarified with me that the PCT decisions were over since I did fill out essays for that. thanks so much for your help!!!
When did they schedule you for, if you don’t mind me asking?

Would anybody who's interviewed with OSU before this current cycle be willing to offer help in a mock interview?

Is there a groupme or FB page for accepted applicants?
Mine was also 3/22. An earlier comment said they emailed admissions and they were told invites are sent until 3/31, so don’t lose hope! ❤️

did they tell anyone interviewing this week when you'll hear back?
Yeah, they did. OSU looks like they're pretty fast about it, sending decisions in about a couple of weeks more or less. I don't know if they send out the same decision release date to everybody or if they spread out the decision releases though.
