has anyone still not received the secondary being in state?

Members don't see this ad.
 
is that community medicine prompt correct? why would it ask the same exact question as the family medicine track?
I had the exact same question, I have looked ant other websites and they all have it the same way. Why would it say family medicine on the community medicine track? But even if we substitute family medicine with community medicine for that question, I’m having trouble seeing how it would be different to the other CMT question.

Does anyone have any input on this? The help will be greatly appreciated!

Has anyone still not received their application processed email? I paid and submitted on 7/5, received the acknowledgment email but I keep getting the application incomplete email.

I got an email about my application being complete the day after I submitted. Did you get some emails afterward asking you to activate your student portal? If not, I might reach out to them

Nope, I only got the receipt for my payment and an acknowledgment email. I'm going to call tomorrow and try to sort it out.

Same, but I haven't heard back today. Not sure if I should email them tomorrow morning since we only have 72 hours to get back to them?

+1 II, OOS, complete 7/10, LM 81

Yeah this is my exact concern as well. I think I’ll email tomorrow afternoon if I get no response and then I’ll just confirm it for whatever date on Friday if there’s still nothing
 
Anyone else submitted pretty early (7/12) with no response yet?
yeah I submitted the same day. Its alright, schools generally target the most competitive applicants first. I hope by applying broadly and keeping busy an II invite will eventually come my way. You have already done the hard work, you got this. SDN literally only brings me more stress, yet I keep checking it for some reason.

Am i toast? Their application portal is so glitchy and it warned me to check my essays after saving them in the portal so that it wouldn't accidentally insert ??? in place of other punctuation marks, and I did/everything was fine, but then after I submitted my secondary, I went back to look at it and it was RIDDLED with question marks. Should I email their adcom to politely be like, "these punctuation errors do not represent me" or something? I am so frustrated that the portal did that, makes my responses look like jokes...
i put mine into text edit (mac) and still got question marks
 
Is anyone else's Vitals page completely blank in the Evaluations section?
 
My application was marked complete but my school's committee letter hasn't been submitted; does Ohio State evaluate the application without letters of rec?
 
The OSU account that we make, as instructed in the email after submitting the secondary - what is it for? do we just make it and thats all? like what is the point of making it?
 
how bad is it if i answered last years secondary question instead of this years? it showed me last years instead of this years new updated reasons for health equities question and its making me nervous

Im pretty sure I did the same and got an II if that makes you feel better. I submitted very early though :) like early july-ish
 
Are y'all doing thank you letters? I got my interviewers' names but I don't see a place to upload one and I didn't see anything about thank you letters in the emails.

they sent an attachment in the followup email with everyone's emails so you can send a thank you note to interviewers directly!

I'm an OOS resident, for the "Please indicate any affiliations with Ohio or Ohio State University that would not otherwise be apparent from your application." prompt, will it look bad if I put N/A? does anyone know?

No its not gonna look 'bad'

if it doesn't apply to you then don't fill it out :)

adcoms read so many of these things that I feel like it would be annoying reading an answer to a question that doesn't pertain to an applicant

Is it normal to receive interview later for July submitters?
yes! most schools do not go in order of submission date for interview invites. as long if you havent been sent a formal rejection letter you are still under consideration for an interview

Anyone interview here and have any last-minute advice? This is my first non-MMI and I'm getting a bit nervous... :bag:

I’m not interviewing, but I’m a M1 at OSUCOM.

The only advice I have is the cliche stuff: be personable, try not to brag, just be a human being. The interviewers are not there to focus on your negatives; they are there to find out what makes you special and highlight that to the committee. Best of luck!
