There’s a lot of very strong applicants like you and myself (joke) that haven’t gotten IIs yet, especially if they’re OOS — which only has a 6% II rate— pretty brutal IMO
If you were deferred-- I can imagine how stressful it is and I'm sorry you didn't get in right off the bat, but it's only been a day since decisions were released. I doubt there has been any movement yet and it will likely take a few weeks at least until the adcom meets again.
ah sorry worded it wrong, was wondering if anyone had better insight on deferral movement from previous cycles
In general hard to predict/quantify because activity changes yearly. Haven't checked their socials but if their adcom is pretty active they might have posted about it during previous cycles
They accept update letters, but it looks like on MSAR they do not accept interest/intent letters.
I think in the past I have seen people email them, but I am not entirely sure myself.
where do u see that? many people in here say osu doesn't accept update letters
You are correct post-interview they don't accept anything. But I did see someone last year post-interview deferred send one over email which I wouldn't really recommend as MSAR says they don't accept any LOI/Updates post-interview.
"Candidates invited for an interview are given the opportunity to submit an update letter prior to their interview date." The rest says they accept no updates, LOInterest/Intent. I would avoid sending anything if not given an II.
yes!
I was told they update the portal at like 6am, but I'm not seeing anything anyone else with a 10/23 decision date heard back yet?
haven't seen anything either!
Does the email show specifically 3 year primary track? i have an II but not sure if I am on a specific track
The email says interview invite but on the VITALS portal it says 3 year primary care track on the home page
I think so. Crickets for everyone
ya it seems like no one has heard anything - if it doesn't come out by end of day are we just thinking tmrw?
think so? hard to say for sure. May call admin tmw morning if haven't heard back to verify if that means waitlist or decisions not released yet
honestly I don't think so. especially as the end of the work day approaches! I mean they did tell us it was coming today exactly and they historically always release in the morning so it feels strange to not have heard anything - edit: let us know what they say if you do end up calling!
I just see an II
well f*** - does that mean if we dont see anything on portal, then it is a waitlist
My bad!! Sorry for scaring everyone lol i don't use cycletrack much
same - i just checked and only see an II
I really don't think it's coming out today now 🙁
From what I was told if you are on the waitlist they will tell you not ghost like they are doing right now.
That is good to know - thank you!
I called and they said that the decisions will come out tmrw
thanks for calling and letting us know! bummer
Now I feel silly for refreshing vitals throughout all of today lol. Thank you so much for calling!
And preII?
