It's been over a month since my acceptance, and I'm still waiting for the official offer letter too.
They said its really variable, so unfortunately its hard to say. I heard back after ~8 weeks.
Hey hi hello 💁🏻♀️
Just know that it has nothing to do with you and also has absolutely no effect on your likelihood of getting in. It has to do with the mechanics of the committee. It can be a long wait, but you'll eventually hear back.
This right here ^ They don't do things chronologically and because of the way they fill out the class it's hard to predict when you will get any sort of answer. Things should gradually pick up as they get closer to the end of the cycle and I believe they begin filling out the waitlist more as time goes on as well. According to the updated MSAR data, they end up accepting approximately 1/3 of the waitlist as well so a WL decision isn't the end all be all. One other note, they seem to send decisions at totally random times. I was taken completely off guard because I received my decision outside of business hours on a random Sunday night. I also haven't seen anyone report a similar decision from that day either so they likely don't come in waves. For all those waiting things out in purgatory, stay the course, try to enjoy yourself, and don't stress too much... though I totally understand the feeling. Good luck!!!
Congrats!!!
I haven’t heard anything yet
Some odd things going on up
A top OHSU doc resigns after internal investigation finds he secretly photographed women students

Intolerance?
Just the email for me so far
Sometime in the coming months current students will reach out to everyone accepted thus far periodically with access to a class Facebook page + later a discord channel.
To my knowledge, in past years email is the only way things were sent out regarding acceptance / admissions. (At least for MD only program)
Mixture. Some stations were stoic and others relaxed. One-on-one was very friendly though.
This was my experience too. The acting scenarios were kind of awkward and serious, but my other MMI stations were pretty relaxed (I actually enjoyed my conversations with my other MMI interviewers). My individual interview was really enjoyable and laid back. I could have easily stayed and talked with my one-on-one interviewer for way longer than 30 minutes.
Third this. They tend to take their acting stations very seriously but some other MMI stations were pretty casual. My one-on-one was hands down my favorite of any interview I've had and reflected extremely positively on the school in my opinion. I too could have chatted for several hours with my interviewer with ease.
During my first application cycle, I didn’t get an II from OHSU until February. You still have a chance.
I would second the above comment. During my cycle I didn't hear back from OHSU until a Jan 18th invite for a Feb 14th interview. I think I was one of the last interviews of the cycle (terrible wait and was fully preparing to move out of state by the time I received it, but on the pro side it was only a 2 week turn around from interview to acceptance). Would have to assume that if the last invites they send are mid/end of January, there are probably some cancellations or folks turning invites down into early Feb. So I would say if you haven't gotten an interview by early February, that is likely the time to start making alternative plans.
chin up they prob dont deserve you, when did u interview?
I'm 3 months post-acceptance, and mine never showed LORs, etc, either. Just the message above.
It’s true p/f, no rankings.
Do you mind sharing stats please! Also an OOS applicant and interviewed around the same time but I didn’t receive anything from them yet 🙁
In-state.
I thought at some point it asked if we wanted to be considered for MD only as well? So I was assuming so?
Yes! As long as you indicated on your application that you would be interested in MD-only, then it's possible.
even if you no longer live in Oregon?
As far as I know, the MSAR is completely based on your AMCAS residency, whether the school considers you in-state or not.
