Are they giving out offers in smaller batches than previous years? Could it be because there are not as many spots? Anyone else heard anything? Should we call/email them and ask for information?

Is there a Facebook or group page for accepted students? Also, how did yall find out about financial info/scholarships? Did they send anything to you individually?

There is a groupme if you scroll back a few pages on here that I joined! I am not sure about Facebook (I don’t have an account on there). For the scholarship I was emailed directly and then it showed up as a new tab in the portal for me to accept. I haven’t gotten any email about financial aid as a whole yet.
 
Do we think they are just slower this year with waitlited applicants or there aren't as many spots as last year?

No idea honestly. I’d like to think just slower bc idt they got into tier [emoji[emoji638][emoji639][emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji6[emoji640][emoji637]]][emoji[emoji638][emoji639][emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji640]][emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji640]]]] WL yet

Does OUWB make any distinctions based on IS and OOS? I don’t think so bc they’re private
Yeah I don’t think so either. Last years group me got to 254 members and this year it’s only up to 206 (I only think it’s that high bc of M1s and people who have withdrawn their acceptance but haven’t left the group). So I do think they have more As to give out. I think they are just behind compared to last year, hopefully we get more movement soon. Has anyone called and asked about WL spots recently?

I think they try to make it 50 percent IS and 50 percent of the class OOS. Maybe 60/40, not too sure though about the ratio. So I would say it does play a role, but because it's private, they accept more OOS students compared to public IS schools.
 
Sending good vibes to you all today!! Hopefully some movement will happen this afternoon 😊 I double checked last cycle's thread for y'all and movement was still happening at least on May 30th last year and they seem slower this year, so I don't think its over even if its not today (though definitely still plan to reapply if you gotta haha). Also remember we are approaching a holiday weekend so things may get funky bc of that too! Hang in there my friends and I hope to see you all in August !!

FYI--I also highly recommend you all look at the vaccination requirements ahead of time. I just had my Hep B titer drawn and it doesn't reach the immune threshold so I have to repeat the series--I've been told its okay as long as I have documentation I am in the process of getting re-vaccinated, but I would get started ASAP. The paperwork is due July 1st!

Hey guys, for anyone who has already been accepted, do you still see "incomplete" for your prerequisites and 2nd look in the pre-matriculation checklist? I uploaded my prerequisites and 2nd look has already passed. Anyone else have these two things as incomplete still?
