Ohio State c/o 2025

Veterinary School Application Advising Ad
This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I received the email (oos/interviewed on 23rd) but tbh I do not think this correlates with acceptances because the link provided leads to a video which starts with "... good luck with your interview today..". seems like it's something they should have provided on the interview day but for some reason didnt.? Since the last day of the interview was just last week they probably waited till today to send it out to all at once
 
When I emailed Sandra Dawkins she said that because the email was sent BCC Gmail wouldn’t let it come through (I used my Gmail for application stuff) and she forwarded me the email individually. So if you didn’t get it definitely reach out to her and let her know you don’t have it!
 
I'm an Ohio State alum and I used my school email address so I feel like it should have gone through if I was supposed to get it 🙁 Maybe they didn't send anything to IS people yet? Have any IS folks received anything?

I’m in state, according to Sandra it was intended for everyone who interviewed

That’s so bizzare! I have a Gmail too and it went through. I do have that issue whenever iowa sends an email though, it goes to my promotion tab
 
The like second sentence of the booklet is "Admission to veterinary school is highly competitive, and you are one of the elite few selected to interview for the Class of 2025 at Ohio State" so I don't think it means anything about acceptances.
 
Does anyone know if they will be sending a second round of rejections for those that interviewed? Or all we all either waitlisted or accepted at this point?
 
Wait if we are IS and have interviewed and didn’t get an email should we reach out to Sandra? (As of 9:20 EST I haven’t received any email from OSU) I know it’s not anything to do with an acceptance or not but I just want to make sure I don’t get any other technical difficulties!!

So to clarify, they did send out some rejections already??

my understanding is that the only rejections that went out were for those not invited to interview. I don't think there have been any rejections following interviews yet.
 
I watched the zoom video that they sent out in their email today and it sounded like some people got immediate acceptances and also some people got immediate rejections after their interviews

Yep that’s usually how it works! A few get quick rejections and a few get quick acceptances. The rest go out later on (usually together within a few days). I’m not sure if it’s true every year but the past two years OOS students have received emails first.

my academic advisor at OSU (who use to sit on the admission board) told me that there are two boxes that the interviewers can check when they evaluate you and supposedly if both your interviewers mark the actively recruit you get automatically accepted and if they both marked stop pursuing you are rejected, but she did also say that they dont have to mark either so it isnt super common

A friend of mine that’s a first year said they rank the top 10% then bottom 10% and let them know immediately of their acceptance/rejection and then everyone else is ranked and they accept and waitlist people based on that

I don’t know if anyone else is/ was in Greek Life but this is giving me PTSD back to sorority recruitment 🥴😂

I'm pretty far down the waitlist at the other school I applied to and all the others rejected me.. so it would be nice to get good new hopefully but oos is so competitive.. who's to know.
 
Same! I’m checking my email and SDN every hour in hopes of hearing something back 😭

I remember them sending out interview invites close to 9 PM during the holidays... does that mean that we can possibly hear back late in the day? 👀

I think it depends what your IS is... mine was Davis and I've had much better luck with OOS. Don't give up! I had 2 rejections and 1 waitlisted before I had an acceptance and interview invites.

I don't think they'll go late at least for acceptances since they'll be calling, but who knows. At this point they've had a week following everyone's interview so we can hope for tomorrow, but I would expect next week.

They call? I didn’t know that! I thought they emailed bulk acceptances. Good to know to answer my phone for a random number 😂

I don’t think they call everyone, only the few that got early acceptances, but I’m not 100% sure.

So usually only the first few acceptances get called first. The bulk of them get emailed, and then throughout the week they call to chat about your acceptance. Last year I was notified via email first, then got a call a week later.

Hey do you know if they do class rankings?
Click to expand...
Yes, Ohio State does class rankings that really only matter for the match. Otherwise you're getting letter grades and GPA on a 4.0 scale. I didn't even bother finding out about my class rank until the beginning of my clinical year when I was applying to residency positions.

I hope it’s today, the wait is killer 😭
It’ll have been 3 weeks since my interview tomorrow, and I was told 3 weeks. I totally understand though if things are behind, because whoo boy I bet admissions work is a lot of stress and work with all the factors to take into account.
 
So is everyone who hasn’t heard waitlisted or will they be sending out additional rejections? Do they do ranked waitlists?

Only a few acceptances have went out. Most people are still in the same boat as everyone else. From last year, they seem to have ranked waitlists, one OOS and one IS. They'll send out acceptances, waitlists, and rejections at the same time. I believe OOS goes first though?

So is today the day?

I would love to know today but after stalking the forum for last years incoming class it looks like we will hear next week. They held interviews on Jan 11th, 18th, & 25th and they had acceptances out by Feb 5th (a week and half after the last interview date) and looks like wait list notifications out be the 8th. So we will likely hear this upcoming Tuesday/Wednesday if they sticking with same pace but unsure
