For everyone who has been invited to apply to OSU's postbacc! Applications are up and are due January 31st 2016. Please keep us up to date on your progress. All the best!
Hey! I submitted my secondary 10/23 and was invited to apply for MEDPATH 11/6 so about a 2-week window.Just a question for you @OmoNaijj. When did you apply to OSU and when you were you recommended to apply to the MEDPATH program?
Hey, yes, if you were recommended for the program, it does mean your regular MD application file is no longer under consideration.if we were recommended for this program does that mean we are no longer being consider for MD admissions? Ive already done a masters and I am not interested in this program. I am ready to start Med school. I feel like it was my MCAT score that may be give reason why I was recommended. Hittin 27 here and I'm not getting any younger.
Yea you're right, but I've already taken some of the classes offered by Medpath and I don't want to waste my time taking courses I've already taken. And plus,thats money that will go down the drain..unless the program offers scholarships or waivers to cover the costs of the program. I wish you the best of luck though! I'm also waiting on schools. Luckily I have one interview, so I'm kind of banking on that right.Hey, yes, if you were recommended for the program, it does mean your regular MD application file is no longer under consideration.
I understand your concern and honestly I feel the same way. I'm still waiting to hear back from other schools but I'm very interested in MEDPATH if that does not work out. A year does go by fast

Hey Tachy,Hey guys, if you have any questions about the program, let me know and I can try to help answer them! I'm currently in the program now
I know!! Where's everyone that applied haha. Did you apply?How's it going guys? Where are you applicants? This thread is pretty dead.
Thanks for the response!Hi everyone! I'm also a current MEDPATH student and would be happy to answer any questions. To answer a few (@OmoNaijj )
1. Living in Columbus is great! There are lots of things to do around Columbus and lots of interesting things to do at OSU itself.
2. MEDPATH gives you a lot of support. Everyone is really invested in your success in the program. Professors, mentors, and our program directors are all extremely helpful. Although I would say the greatest support comes from fellow MEDPATH students.
3. Some people in our year received scholarships which covered their entire tuition, but others did not and needed to take out various loans.
Happy to answer any other questions and best of luck to everyone applying!
I know!! Where's everyone that applied haha. Did you apply?
Hopefully it'll pick up in a couple weeks when interview invites go out!
I'm actually not entirely sure what the criteria for scholarships was. The recipients were notified of their award amount with their acceptance letters.Thanks for the response!
Do you know what the criteria was for the scholarship recepients?
Nice. Did you apply to any other postbaccs? And what med schools have you interviewed at/waiting to hear back from?How's it going guys? Where are you applicants? This thread is pretty dead.
Haha thanks for replying.Yes I applied! I'm still waiting to hear back from med schools but I really like this program.
Yay! What other programs did you apply to?I applied!
I pm'd you!So I applied to a couple other post baccs because I've been getting nothing but rejections. I applied to wake forest and Drexel dpms. I'm also in the process of applying to gems and IU Msms program. I'm kinda on the fence about applying to IU because it's a two year program. What have you heard about Drexel dpms? We're basically applying to all the same programs.
I did not apply to any other post baccs! Waiting on 6 schools. BrutalNice. Did you apply to any other postbaccs? And what med schools have you interviewed at/waiting to hear back from?

THIS is exciting haha!!That sounds pretty exciting! Graduated last May, currently working as a molecular biologist for a state public health laboratory
Nope. Officially freaking out and wallowing in despair, but I guess if we all haven't heard back then it's not bad news?
In the past they call a few people then send out emails. It would probably be the same day for everyone I guess.Does anyone know if they send out a mass email invite or send out invites separately?

Is it possible none of us were invited?We should've heard back by now. Has anyone spoken with them or know what the holdup is about?
No need to panic.I feel like one of should have heard (based on statistics). I'm just so panicky now
