It should show you immediately
When I got the status email I scrolled down and it gave me a number. Do you not have one?
I do, but I am just wondering if the number will update as people opt out or get accepted.
Did you scroll all of the way to the bottom of the page?
Oh I gotcha, I’m not sure if they will update those live, from what I’ve heard they will update you once an A in given, if not people wait until deadline near orientation.
I believe that in years past, those who applied for MD/PhD were not always given a number and they had to email admissions to see what number they are. This may be the case if you applied for MD/PhD.
That makes sense. Thank you!!
Same question. But when I asked, they said, “The Financial Aid Office is currently working on financial aid packets for all students. You should be hearing from them soon. If you have specific financial aid questions, please contact their office at [email protected] or 503-494-7800.” On 4/28
Bad wow... expensive tuition/fees/living expenses/health insurance like 115K
In-state??? For a year estimate??
That is still high for IS. Damn...
I second this question! I received my financial aid package so I am wondering if that means I was not selected for any scholarships. I am Oregon heritage but have lost my residency so these numbers really hurt now that I am considered out of state. Also, does anyone know what percentage of students receive scholarships? Are they generous with them or is it really just a select few that receive offers?
My OOS COA for the MD/MPH program was ~$112k for the first year for reference
OOS for me.......
Nothing for me either. Alternate #low-20’s. I anticipate it’ll take another couple wks.
Congratulations future doctor! Enjoy this moment, you’ve earned it.
Top 10Congratulations future doctor! Enjoy this moment, you’ve earned it.
Any chance you’re willing to share approx what # you were?
See you in Oregon!!!!
Let’s go!!!!
They take a really holistic approach and are quite diligent in their review process. Basically, if you get an interview they're comfortable with your stats and want to figure out more who you are as a person. If you're worried about low stats, one year post bacc at an improved level helps a lot. My undergrad GPA was garbage, but I did post bacc work 3 years later at a 4.0 and had a 514 MCAT to back it up (shout out to Portland State University!). OHSU took my improvement into account. I also worked in the ER for 3+ years and had some awesome volunteering opportunities and those extracurriculars and experiences are probably what pushed my app over the edge. Showing improvement, resilience, and commitment to medicine/service says a lot about your character and whether you'll be successful. More so than raw stats IMO and I get the feeling OHSU would agree (though stats definitely help!). No matter what, I think you should attempt it. Even if you don't get in this next go around, you'll benefit from being a reapplicant going forward and learn a lot from the process. Best of luck to you friend. You can do it!
I did a post bacc for one term at Portland State University but prior to that I've had my GPA in the 3.8-4.0 range since the start of 2020. Even so my GPA overall is about 3.3. Do you think OHSU will take notice of the upward trend enough to give me a shot at an interview(assuming the rest of my application is good). Also thank you for your response!
Considering my undergrad GPA was significantly worse, yes. I had a lot of complications with my undergrad experience and felt they caused me to underperform. Turns out I was right and 3 years of maturity and experience definitely helped going back to school. It's totally possible for you. Make sure your MCAT is excellent to match that more recent upward trend and it makes those new stats feel more reliable. Beyond that focus on your work experiences, volunteering, and extracurriculars, especially anything clinical. HMU if you have any questions.
Portal now says through alternate number 25!
It is moving faster than last year. OHSU AL reached mid 20s around May 23 last cycle.
Homestead vs. South Waterfront. Haven't paid any deposit to school. I don't see any from the emails sent to me thus far. Just forms to sign.
This is all great info for living and travel.
About how many days/wk are you on campus?
Lectures optional? What are fundamental blocks like?
Mondays for us had mandatory small groups from 1-4pm, until preceptorships started and the sessions were moved to Tuesday afternoons. You’ll have occasional Wednesday or Thursday mandatory classes sprinkled in during the first several months. Friday exams are only mandatory in person if they are clinical skills assessments in the simulation center or if it’s an anatomy exam. Most of us take friday afternoons off if there isn’t a Clinical skills assessment. They have lectures on Friday afternoons sometimes, but attendance is typically low for those.
pretty much what neuroscifan and nahdog
Oh ya. Typical schedule is Mon-Fri we have lectures 8-12 then either independent study or small groups after. Lectures are recorded so you can watch whenever you want (or not watch at all if you’re a 3rd party person). Gives a lot of flexibility. I haven’t been to a lecture since probably November. But there are still people who go to every lecture and that’s great too, you have the options to find what’s best for your learning
OHSU is not PBL, right? I want to go back to old school classroom tbh after years of independent grad schooling
Nope, classical lecture structure for the 8a-12p lectures. Some professors have students engage more than others and answer polling questions, but overall consistent with the traditional lecture structure of things. In the required attendance Clinical Skills Labs you have more problem based learning in small groups, but it's relevant to that week's topic so not your primary source of that info. There are also small group sessions depending on the week and block that are structured as cases you go through with small groups, but once again not your primary source of learning that info, more to solidify and often optional attendance.
