Someone from the Jan. 11 tour please tell me I’m not crazy and that they did say we could hear from them late the next week and early the week after? I understand that, yes, this is a complicated process, but please don’t get our hopes up! Feeling a little frustrated like everyone else is about the shifting of dates, etc.

I was also there, they 100% said that.

They also emailed us and told us that we would hear mid-January. I think we're a little past mid-January.

I think we can all agree whoever is in charge of telling us the major dates for this cycle really sucks at their job or is very disconnected from the rest of the admissions committee lmao.

Now now, don’t “sensationalize”… seriously though, it has reached Theatre of the Absurd level and you’re 💯 spot on!

 

[TheBolter07]

OOS tuition waiver received.

 

[LtApplication Person]

anyone have the balls to ask about the “final decisions” that we were supposed to get in mid Jan?

 

[Jenniferismydog]

I fear it would read very unprofessional and impatient if we were to…but I don think it has been very professional or caring on their behalf to have sewn seeds of hope with empty promises. Catch 22!

 

[Pumpkinatoric]

They're supposed to call if you're accepted right? So any OU email can automatically be considered bad news? lol

 

[Hurricanado]

Yes!! Just heard coin $ came thru for me at another MD school! What with OU’s delays and other garbage, I’m taking a good, sure thing and am done with OU. Everyone still waiting, especially fellow IS folks whose taxes fund OU as well as poor OOS folks they’ve been teasing along who don’t meet their new mysterious criteria, know that you deserve far better than what they’ve been delivering. The whole med school application process stinks but OU made it extra foul this cycle, in my “sensationalizing, bitter” opinion. 😉 Hoping and praying y’all get great news soon, whichever school it’s from, and wish you “future doctors at (whichever)” great careers and happy lives!

I'm glad that you got in! Even though I already got accepted, your rants kept me coming back to this thread and kept it entertaining.

 

[iconicapp123]

Is there an accepted students group me?

 

[Jenniferismydog]

Have they made calls on Saturdays?

 

[nationalparks]

Has anyone gotten an acceptance in January?

 

[Pumpkinatoric]

Have they made calls on Saturdays?

Nah bro don’t spend your Saturday worrying about whether these guys can be bothered to let us know where we stand or not. We deserve better than that.

 

[Pumpkinatoric]

Has anyone gotten an acceptance in January?

Yeah if you’re god tier you get your A within a week or two. I think there was at least someone who said they got an A in Jan

I did not hear anything from OU, just to be clear. I got As elsewhere, but wasn’t sure I could afford any of them, until yesterday, without taking on hellish debt. I’m taking the good deal. How many of us will OU run out of state? How many of the non-Okies the school’s chasing after now will want to eventually land in places like Checotah, Durant or even more remote? 🤔

 

[Jenniferismydog]

If they don’t have news today I’m driving my car through the front doors (satire)

 

[Hurricanado]

I'm compelled to keep checking in here and am rooting for y'all and feeling personally invested in the outcomes. The only way I'd ever go here now is w/ a free ride they don't offer so it's kinda like STOCKHOLM SYNDROME

 

[luckylucy132]

I’ve said “today HAS to be the day” for the last 2 weeks so who even knows at this point. I’d like to think they would at least do it in January.

 

[Jenniferismydog]

If one were to call about the current status of applicants, who might be the best contact?......

I would contact any of these people, they're our admissions staff:

I spoke with Jessica I believe--she said this week we could expect to hear from them.....

Let's see how true that is

Sounds like probably not today then.

 

[A.T.LazyNicole]

So how effective is an LOI at this school

 

[yompyomp]

So how effective is an LOI at this school

I was told that once you're ranked there's nothing you can do to change your position in the list. ... so probs not super effective.

 

[Jenniferismydog]

You could always shoot your shot, though!

 

[Der_Ubermensch1]

seems like our interviewers whom we have met only for like 40 minutes determine our fate...really screwed up system OU has

Especially with how basic and scripted the questions are. Other colleges have actual conversations with their applicants and get to know us, rather than reading off ChatGPT’d questions based on the core competencies.

 

[A.T.LazyNicole]

Has anyone asked what their score is?

 

[luckylucy132]

Has anyone asked what their score is?

If I’m remembering right, I believe somebody posted that they emailed admissions and asked what their score was and were told that they weren’t giving out that info.

 

[invigoratinginscript]

This wait is excrutiatingggggg

 

[Jenniferismydog]

Felt--IT at my job is probably taking bets about how many times I will refresh this page the rest of the week lmao

Just now got an IS A! I'm so excited !!

What does LM 66.5 mean? Sorry I’m not familiar with the term.

 

[Hurricanado]

What does LM 66.5 mean? Sorry I’m not familiar with the term.

Well.. to OU AdComms it means no more than up to 40% in an absurd "total" score they imposed suddenly this cycle. LM doesn't mean as much as how a couple, semi-disinterested M.D. strangers decide they like you or not after 45 min's over Zoom (that's up to 60% to OU).

[yompyomp]

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you! 🙂

What they said ^ + I have a lower mcat score, so this is kinda a way of letting you know my stats but without saying my score lol

Also, in my call, Dustye apologized for the delay & said that they just finalized the list this week. I also just talked to my friend who's a student at OU & she said that they [admissions] have a lot of people to contact this week. All the good vibes to y'all!!

Congrats!!! Looks like it’s gonna be a looonnngggg week but (hopefully) a good one!!

 

[Hurricanado]

Congrats to all getting a call ...but are we to understand that OU only has this one person making calls? No one else is picking up a phone there after making people twist for months? What a circus.

Can we enjoy this moment and the fact that some people are finally hearing news, and pause with the negativity for a second. Admissions are human too my g haha

Absolutely, hence the sincere, "Congratulations" However, there are many others who have this site as their sole means of learning anything and finding compadres and some of these folks are suffering mightily as they painstakingly wait and worry. As future doctors at OU, or elsewhere, it's important to be cognizant of them too since they will not likely have the same real-world cheering squads available as those with an A to celebrate, and they are still waiting to hear how their own stories go while the kindly human in admissions (who works for the more arbitrary and perhaps even callous AdComms) continues to make these one at a time calls.

I think we all feel for people having to wait. For many of us, this isn't our first rodeo in the application cycle either & have been on the side of getting bad news and/or having to wait longer than others. From my work experience, making calls can be logistically difficult. It would always be easy if everyone picked up immediately, etc. but that doesn't happen. Even if all 3 of the admissions staff made calls for 8 hours, I wouldn't expect them to humanely make more than 60ish calls in a day.

And I get where you’re coming from. This is my first cycle so idk what to expect or who to ask about it. But I can’t blame admissions since, from what I’ve read, they’ve been making a lottta changes this cycle.

Whatever MS you get in to, maybe work your way into the admissions council. You seem passionate about bettering the process. And ik future premed students like us would appreciate it

Hate to be the guy that says “if you don’t have anything nice don’t say it at all” but can you guys stop spamming this thread with cynicism and negativity? Especially if you already have As in other places? Theres like 3 of yall making up half the thread just trashing on the school while people are trying to celebrate acceptances. Relax.
