2023-2024 Ohio State

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Hi hopeful Buckeyes, I'm an M2 at Ohio State. When I interviewed, I got an Interview in November, got deferred in December, and didn't get off the deferred list (which after all the interviews are done turns into the waitlist) until late May. I have friends who got off the waitlist list as late as July. I know it's brutal waiting on the Deferred/waitlist, but you still have a chance, so don't lose hope. If anyone wants to ask more about being deferred or you have questions about Ohio State in general, feel free to reach out with a DM. Good Luck everyone!
It's really uplifting to hear your success story! I've been on the deferred list since October. Just wanting to know--do you know when Ohio State typically lets deferred folks know about their status? Is there any kind of ranking for the list? I'm getting a little worried because many schools start in early July, which is going to make planning difficult if I am still holding out hope for OSU. Thanks so much in advance!
 
Still deferred from December Interview as well.
Curious, what date is second look? Is it one day or a weekend event?
 
Does anyone know how likely it is that spots will open up for second look? I bought my plane ticket and then tried registering and it looks like the event is all booked unfortunately
 
Did anyone else get their “Your Medical School Journey” email today? I’ve been deferred since 3/15 but only just got this email today

This is now the second time I've received it since being deferred in November, the first time being on 3/2.
 
Any accepted student hear back about financial aid packages/scholarships yet?
 
Vitals updated at all??
Vitals hasn't seemed to change. Gosh I hope I don't get bamboozled. They did say in the email after the interview that decisions come out tomorrow.
