Is it too early to send a letter of interest since I haven’t heard anything? If it’s not too early, who would I send it to?

Pre or post II?

 

[pickleballer123]

Pre or post II?

Pre, I haven’t heard anything and I submitted my secondary in August.

 

[nosleeponlyschool]

Is there any information on post-II acceptances/waitlists available anywhere? I tried looking but couldn't find anything... just want to have a rough idea of what my chances of an A are after interviewing

 

[shleemz]

OOS pre-II R, complete 7/19

 

[embaddie]

[Fateisasong]

how long after interviewing are we supposed to hear back?

Four to six weeks, that was what I was told. Got an answer slightly more than four weeks.

I guess I'll send an update soon too lol, keeping my fingers crossed! From the open house, them saying no response is a good sign so I'm hoping that remains true lol

[deleted1150307]

Lol did anyone else the admissions webinar for this friday?

I got it too this like the second time, I thought it was the rejection email lol!

 

[premed224422]

Lol did anyone else the admissions webinar for this friday?

Got it as well. Doubt this means anything positive right?

 

[GreatPanda]

Are they still sending out II?

 

[deleted1124957]

Are they still sending out II?

I would assume around 50-60 invites left given that the tracker hasn't updated in a few weeks.

 

[Jenmjfan]

Got it as well. Doubt this means anything positive right?

Wondering this too…

 

[GreatPanda]

Wondering this too…

Wondering if they take attendance LOL

 

[embaddie]

Got it as well. Doubt this means anything positive right?

not sure if this info is helpful but i also got the webinar email too even though I’ve already been admitted

 

[nosleeponlyschool]

Interviewed mid-December but didn't receive the webinar email...

 

[Futurdoc2]

Is the webinar something we should dress in business-professional attire for or are cameras off?

 

[MinnaK]

Do they take attendance on the webinar, anyone know?

 

[deleted1124957]

Do they take attendance on the webinar, anyone know?

No

 

[docbrownbear]

Do they take attendance on the webinar, anyone know?

Nope, I attended one and they don’t

 

[GreatPanda]

what we've learned in the webinar is useful once an II comes along ...

 

[rainbow1234$$]

what we've learned in the webinar is useful once an II comes along ...

They mentioned they interview until mid-March but there’s only around 80 interviews left to give (based on last year) so I was confused by that

 

[futurephysician1994]

ya i didnt even bother to attend since it sounds like everyone else still waiting for an II is most likely either for WL or rejections lol

Hi everyone- recently got the A but it’s been a while since my interview day, does anyone remember what OUWB provides to their students (laptop, iPad, backpack, etc)? Totally remember them going over this but my memories blanking.

Hi guys can anyone give some insight into how their interview went, my interview is coming up soon? Was it chill with relatively easy basic questions or did they grill you hard with tough questions? also how did you guys go about prepping?

My first interviewer was super chill. They asked me a couple of "tell me about a time when..." type of questions, and the rest most mostly just a relaxed conversation about my experiences, my interests and hobbies, etc. My second interviewer was pretty serious though, and really grilled me with numerous questions relating to how I know I *really* want to be a physician, why I thought I'd be good at being a doctor, how I would handle certain difficult situations with patients, etc. They even brought up a super minor grammar error in one of my secondary essays and suggested that I correct it because it was a bad look to make grammar errors. I honestly thought I bombed the second interview because of how tough the interviewer grilled me. I ended up with an A as a low-stat applicant, though, so I guess it didn't go as badly as I thought. It seems like it just depends on who's interviewing you.
