This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I got a TCC application. I ended up denying it. It says that the quicker that you do it, the faster your application can move forward.
Although I am interested in family medicine, I don’t want to tie myself down to a specialty without first doing rotations.
 
Any update? Has anyone received the II for any of the campuses (especially Athens)? Anything other than the Transformative Care Continuum.
 
any oos ii yet? i know they don't take many oos, but they do interview like 5-10

Did you guys see the contract they make oos students sign? about committing to serve Ohio area for 5 years after graduation? So that's why they are very mission heavy and select only those OOS that will fulfill it.

Ah yes I did sign that contract
You figure since they make you sign it then they’d accept more OOS but I get that IS applicants would likely have a better mission fit anyway. Welp here we go

Its been a while since they sent out an II. I hope you hear soon! If its been a month or longer, I would send out an email to ask!!

Yeah hopefully! This is one of my top choices since I live so close and the fact that the tuition would be insanely good for med school. I don't generally email asking for my status since I would feel like I'm bothering the admissions team. Just gonna wait and pray for some good news one of these Wednesdays

they're very nice! so i might reconsider emailing. it kinda sucks that they don't hold any events, like virtual info sessions or open houses. i heard those are always good to go to.

Okay thanks for the tip! I'll try it if I don't hear from them sometime soon 🙂
 
Does anyone know if being offered the TCC is a good sign, especially for OOS applicants?? Or is it relatively unselective ?
 
Just got a call that I was accepted into the Cleveland campus. The interviews were super chill. I was low keying stressing out about interviewing but they made me feel super comfortable. When you guys get an interview don’t stress about it, the interviewers want you to feel at ease so they can get to know that you’re a normal person.

Good luck to everyone!
 
Got an acceptance for Athens! The interviews are traditional and conversational for those wondering. Also, I believe there was only 26 people interviewing today so there are still a ton of seats. Good luck!

open-file. Are you an OOS or IS? I am an OOS, and this is my top choice, but I am unsure if I will hear anything. Also, good luck with the interview! you got this and let us know how it goes?

Hi! I recently received the TCC supplemental app. Can I receive an interview for regular admissions even if i’m waiting to hear back from TCC? or do they wait until the TCC interview to give me a decision?

hello! If you are selected to interview for TCC, that will be your only interview. You'll interview with some general OU faculty (I interviewed with my now anatomy professor) and then the rest of the two days will be with TCC faculty and people at Lakewood and Akron (the two clinical sites).

Hi! thank you for your reply 🙂 do they generally take a while to get back to you about interviews if you choose to do TCC? I feel like maybe regular admissions moves faster?

Not necessarily. I think from the time I applied (including TCC) to the time I received an interview invite it may have been less than two weeks? And then when I interviewed for TCC (a Tuesday and Wednesday) I heard by Friday that I was admitted at least to OU. The longest process was waiting to be admitted to TCC, because they do make sure to interview everyone through the spring before making decisions.
 
Not that I got an interview but for those who were interviewed, I know there are three interviewers, I am not asking names but who were you interviewed by? For example 1st interview: science research PHD faculty, 2nd director of admission (or someone from that dept), 3rd could be a student, or a DO or MD, or idk. I am just curious. So yeah those that got interviewed already A) who were they by? and B) how did it go? Also, I hope all of ya get in.
