LOL the security question choice "Where does your favorite cheese come from?" IDK man.
 
Does anyone know if Ohio screens applicants when they send secondaries?
 
Bruh has anyone else had trouble creating their account... Maybe I'm dumb but there was never a 'Find application' page for me

I was able to get to the Find Application page by closing the page it took me to immediately after creating my account and logging back in!
it's just taking me to peoplesoft and then a page that says select degree objective 🙁
 
Does anyone with the secondary know if there is still the question from last year about if you are waitlisted you want to be considered for the community medicine track?
 
Still waiting too and IS. Most likely a long weekend with July 4th ladies and gents. It’ll come.
 
Does anyone know what to do about the apostrophe question mark issue, I've tried re-writing my whole essay in TextEdit like it said and it still doesn't work, so I'm at a loss.

Actually nvm I got it, it just took like 20 tries of copying and pasting from TextEdit haha
 
Is there a word limit for ties to Ohio? Does anyone know how they evaluate multiple MCAT scores?

This is an interesting addition to the application.
I feel like quite a few secondaries have something similar to this, no?
 
I usually cheer for Ohio State in their rivalry football game against Michigan, do you think that counts as ties????? 😇
 
Anyone else having trouble seeing their secondary application under "current applications"? I've already used my one-time code so now I'm a little lost...

did previous application cycles have a attest to another author writing your app? I know some people hire other people to write, and this year the craze is artificial intelligence, but I was just wondering if this type of thing is completely new.
 
secondary portal crashed and deleted one of my essays which I wrote in the portal. This is prob why you should write it on another site before putting it in. smh
 
why is this portal so confusing and hard to use? the old portal only shows a "Select a degree" and "create a new application" page. the new link they sent me with the OSU account doesn't show anything about my application. help 😢
 
by medical education do they mean education given to future medical students and doctors? or do they mean the education and information that we disseminate to the public? (something my narrative is kind of around)
