Does this school do MMIs or is it more traditional ?

trad but it was partially closed file. I ended up floundering around realizing that they had no idea what I was talking about or what year of school I was referring to. I think they just have access to our PS? and I love tony tony

Access to everything except MCAT and grades.
Congrats on the acceptance!! Thanks for letting me know! I also love the one who left it all behind and his overwhelming intensity

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?

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

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
Same here

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

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

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
I'm a CA resident, ouwb app complete 7/31, II 10/25, interviewed 12/14, waiting on decisions
I also interviewed 12/14, I believe they said we should anticipate hearing back the week of 2/5

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.
They mentioned iPad and Apple pencil definitely, not sure what else
Also a 13” MacBook Pro!
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.
