WHat kind of financial assistance are you guys going to take advantage of to pay for medical school?
Does Ohio offer better choices than other states in general? (I mean all state schools in Ohio)

For MS2-4 I will have in-state tuition at MCO. I will pay out-of-state for MS1. Considering living costs also, the total comes out to be about the same as a California school.Premedtomed said:
Every week, before they post that week's activity, Cincy's status page shows all the possible statuses. This freaks me out. Guess I have to just keep hitting the refresh...

"Not as much preference" is still preference. Just because OSU may now be 60/40 in-state/out-of-state instead of the 75/25 of previous years, OSU still shows preference to in-state applicants; an applicant from Ohio still has a much better chance at acceptance than out-of-state.
I have interviews at Case and the Cleveland Clinic coming up... anybody with experience regarding those interviews care to share?
I couldn't find any interview feedback about the Cleveland Clinic program. Does anyone have any thoughts about the interviews there?

your acceptance is coming soon enough, we can all feel it 😉liverotcod said:
case is sweet, man, so sweet. the interview itself isn't too bad, but case's tour was the first in a bizarre series for me where schools with really nice-looking hospitals wouldn't show their hospital on the tour. what gives? case's university hospital looks really impressive...from the outside. my interview lasted probably 30-40 minutes, lots of questions from stuff on my AMCAS.

jason,
i absolutely loved cleveland clinic. the entire day was so professional, there was no downtime, and the lerner research institute is soooooo impressive. the 2 interviews you have at the clinic is conducted by an md and phd. the phd one will ask you about research, so make sure you know your stuff. my other interviewer was the dean, and it was very lax!
the case interview is also lax, but i remember sitting in a waiting room with lots of nervous applicants, and they came and got us one by one. don't let that unnerve you! you'll do fine! 😀 😀

They let you know in about 10 business days from the date of your interview! I interviewed on 10/18 and heard today. I liked the school-it has a really big class. Students actually came up to talk to us and wish us luck when they saw us sitting in the hallway, which was nice. Also our tour guides showed us their cadaver in anatomy lab, which (without sounding morbid) was really cool. The interview was pretty laid back but don't be surprised if you get two people interviewing you...they were apparently training new interviewers. Hold that helps-good luck! 🙂
My turnaround was pretty quick, about 2-3 weeks if I remember right. Thanks for the luck, I'll need all I can getlis79 said:
, and hope you get an interview there soon!Thanks Riven for the feedback; I'm excited to see their facilities and to actually hear what my status is. These Texas schools are killing me, we don't hear until February 1 👎 , so getting in to OSU early would be GREAT!

id vouch with junathon....the interview was pretty lax. you will love the environment and the hospital. typical questions such as "tell me about yourself" and "tell me about your reserach." thats all....no big surprises.
oh crud. i think i missed the 30 days deadline thing for ohio state. does anyone know how anal they are about deadlines cuz i know some schools dont care.
submitted amcas mid sept. waited for damn august mcat in mid oct = missed deadline by a week or so...ill call the office but does anyone know?

bumpity bump. 🙂
its all about financial aid, bro. my pre-med advisor said that historically, people with my profile get very good aid at case, so case is definitely right up there. i also like ohio state, but dartmouth is my "if money was no object" pick, so we'll see. overall, out of case, osu, and dartmouth, i'd be happy as hell at any of them.exmike said:
any compelling reasons i should pick case? 😉 😀 btw, do you guys in the university program get to do rotations at the cleveland clinic, or is that just for the college program peeps? that might help sway my opinion!

Oh my goodness, my OSU interviewer just CALLED me to congratulate me! How sweet is that?? Gosh, it feels like that school really wants me. I <3 OSU!!!
My 10 business days will be up at OSU tomorrow.
Fingers crossed...

I just got back from a great interview at OSU and II think I might use the water bottle and the bag 😀 . It seemed like a great school, so I can't wait to hear if I get in. The crazy match system in Texas and not hearing until Feb 1 makes me anxious to get an early acceptance somewhere else. Here's hoping!
I've got my OSU interview tomorrow; it's great to hear that's a fun experience. On another topic, any guesses as to whether UCincinnati will make more offers this week? Based on the acceptance thread, it looks like they were too busy with the election last week.redrocks said:
Fred & Red: good luck!
UCLAStudent: wow, that's very cool.

Hey just wondering, how long after the interview at Case Western do they let you know?
I just feel like pulling my hair out!!!!!! 🙁 Today I interviewd at WSU, I had very good interviewers but I blabbered so much and I made some blunders. I was going on and on...... Now, after analysing my inteview, I feel that I could have answered every question in a better way!!!!! Is this a normal feeling or did I really screw up my interview? 🙁 🙁
For those if you that are going to interview/interviewed/considering Case, I recommend you watch the streaming videos online about case's new direction and the proposed new curriculum that will start in entering '06.

Dean Horwitz's 26 minute talk is a good synopsis of the future of the medical school here at Case.

all of my interviews have gone fine, but after every one i would think of better ways to answer questions and think of activities that i completely forgot to mention, etc....i think it's normal to find faults in your answers post-interview, just try not to keep thinking about it....chances are the interviewer liked what you said, you never know

I didn't hear from OSU today. Maybe tomorrow. The status page says you get a decision "around 10 business days" from the day of the interview... I was counting from the day my status last changed. So that means today was actually day 11, tomorrow being day 12.
That's still a fast turnaround, but man, my metabolic rate doubles every time I open my email...
