Does anyone know if this school is OOS-friendly? Should I still proceed with their secondaries?

They are not very OOS friendly, especially if applying now, if you have no ties to area, save the money

I wish they would stop emailing me to apply then :/

They really like you to have ties to the state, but if you're competitive, you're competitive. I've met several MS-I and MS-II that are OOS.

 

[tlgrue]

I am OOS and had an interview. I was waitlisted but really like the school

 

[jumpingfrog27]

I think emphasize your ties. Idk about this student’s ties to OK, but I do know there is at least one student in the current 2nd year class that is from the NE US.

Does anyone know anything about the BRIDGE program?

Does anyone know anything about the BRIDGE program?

From what I've been told by the recruiters and several students that did BRIDGE, it's basically the first semester of med school, only slower.

Thank you! I’m trying find more information. Highly interested in it if I do not get accepted into medical school this year.

IS A, but it is the GAP. Does anyone have experience with this process? I am just very confused regarding the metrics and how they place people into this program, so if anyone has any insight as to if this is a good path to choose or any experience in the required classes please pm me. Thank y'all if so

Not that I am aware of...but we could start one?

Nicole with Admissions will most likely have a Slack channel for accepted students that updates from faculty, staff, and fellow classmates can be posted to. That invite is sent to your AACOMAS email. I'm not sure when that will be created. This is what was done last year.

Any people have advice for the interview? Practicing with SDN questions right now

Stay calm. Be yourself. OSU-COM really wants to get to know who you are and if you're a good fit for the school. Don't worry so much on the technical side of things. Probably the biggest piece of advice is to not over practice, so that you come of as too rehearsed.

 

[MythicalSims]

OSU is a blind interview so they do not know anything about you, so don't worry about your grades or stats or whatever while you are preparing. I practiced by recording myself answering random questions (I used a wheel spinner online), so I answered them without time to prepare a response. Don't try to answer with a script, it will come across bad in the room. I would recommend outlining the things you want to get across and each time you practice, let the ideas naturally form. The 4 most common interview questions I would have down solid are "Why medicine", "tell me about yourself", "what is your biggest weakness/strength", and "Why not -other healthcare career-". Overall just be yourself, and try to have a genuine conversation with the interviewer. You're going to do great! OSU was the chillest interview I have done thus far.

 

[chiceknmaster]

Just got waitlisted today as an OOS. how's the waitlist movement anyone know?

CRAP! I missed a call from Caitlyn today! Is that good news? I was busy with family celebrating the holiday so I totally missed it until it was too late 😭

Phone calls are generally good. Missed calls happen, happened to me 4 years ago, just give a call back.

I missed my first call and didn't even realize they called. They called me back the next day and was invited for an interview. This was a couple of months ago but I am sure a phone call is good.

 

[stunning_cow123]

Anyone have any idea how many students they take and how full the class is already?
