Send a letter of interest if they accept those? Send an update if you have anything significant to add?

Be patient and work on Plan B if to date you have no accepts.

Ohio State?

In the same position and it stings. Best advice is to just take your mind off of it. Do something you have been too busy to do during the application process. Ex. I made and entered some draftking competitions for the first time this nfl season. Helped a little bit.

OSU takes a significant percentage of their class from the waitlist according to multiple posts on their SDN specific thread.

Is deferred different from hold?

After interview

Thank you!

 

[Proudfather94]

yes

I have a ton of experience with this campus. Honestly, they oversell how good they are if you get in somewhere else you dodged a bullet.

What issues are there with this school?

It's more a university problem as a whole. They hold students to a higher standard than their faculty which allows professors to pull bs to drop their averages in ways that don't reflect how well you know the material. The administration for the hospital is awful and everyone is quitting. Multiple floors are severely understaffed and administration is basically like "what can you do I guess" while their staff are flocking to Ohio health and Mount Carmel. Unless they do something drastic everyone will keep quitting and there won't be many people to do the doctors orders.

This is very different than the impression I received on the interview day, and many other parts of this process. I will make sure to investigate OSU further, thank you.
