Mine is at 8:15 am on friday the 18th....anyone else having theirs then? Well I signed up for that spot, but i'm still waiting for a confirmation.
Last year they interviewed 191 Ohio residents and 281 out-of-state applicants. There are 100 Ohio residents and 40 out-of-state residents in the class. I'm not sure how far down the waitlist they went.

Anyone know how many OOS they usually interview? I've looked everywhere and can't find it! I know that last year they accepted 39 OOS.
I believe there are 5 OOS seats reserved for West Virginia (the state subsidizes them because they don't have a vet school of their own).
Mine is at 9am. I picked a morning time because I had an afternoon time last year, and it was hellish. Waiting around for hours with so many stressed-out people...it really did not help my already high stress level.
As far as bringing parents/friends/spouses, I really don't think it will reflect poorly on you either way. Personally, I will be coming alone because I think having someone there with me will just make me more stressed. But this day is about YOU, so do whatever will make YOU feel like you are at the top of your game. If that means bringing someone with you, then do that. Trust me, no one here is going to judge you either way.
Good luck everyone!
Hehe, I picked afternoon because I am SO not a morning person. And I'm going to be crazy anxious either way.
I'm bringing my boyfriend with me for the trip, but he's not coming to the school with me.
Have you tried the beta blockers? That seemed like an interesting idea.. especially for us Ohioans whose biggest hurdle is the interview!
I'm not a morning person either, I'm just hoping that being half-asleep will keep me calm!
Tried the beta blockers this weekend, and didn't really feel any different than usual. I guess that means they'll work? Ideally I would try them sometime when I know I'm going to be super-stressed, but that probably won't be till the day of! At least I know I won't be passing out or getting all weird.
Sticking with the hypnotherapy as well, but I'm less confident about that one working. I asked my husband if he thought it was having any effect, and he said I "seem different" but couldn't tell me how. Placebo effect, mayhaps?
Mine is 12:30-1 on 12/15 and everyone is saying I need to stay until 4:30 for the information session. I had to get on the last flight back to Florida for finals at 5:30pm. Is it ok to leave the information session early to get on the flight?
The orientation isn't mandatory is it? Does it hurt your overall points if you don't go? I'm not sure I'll be able to due to flight times.
Can you attend another day's sessions? I'll probably be flying in before noon the day before my interview so could go to the evening orientation for that day.
For those who are second/ third timers, etc for oSU interviews, what did the adcoms say you needed to work on in order to gain acceptance?
Ok, wardrobe question. I am flying in that morning and out that night, so I wont be staying over. I will need to have everything I could possibly need with me, though. What kind of back to I bring? A briefcase seems so...lawyer-ly and old for my age of 22. But a big bag (think Marc Jacobs or the ilk) seems too informal...or is it?
Also, would it be really awkward to bring a pair of shoes that are flats to go on the tour, and then have heels to change into for the lunch and interview?
So is it safe to say all interview invites have been sent out?
Just concerned about what type of interview and some of the questions. I can't seem to find any 'past questions' stuff online so it'll be completely new and random for me.
Can someone explain what the broad based curriculum at OSU is about? I'm trying to figure out exactly what that means, but I'm not finding anything on the website...
Thanks!
In other words even though I know I'm going to be a small animal vet (and believe me I know this), they're still gonna make me stick my hand in a cow at some point.

Shouldn't we OSU people be studying right about now...?
Good to know I'm not the only one distracted.

It means that OSU does not track. Students are required to complete all of the core rotations. So even if you KNOW you're going to go into poultry, for instance, you'll still be required to pass all of the SA rotations along with everyone else.
All schools require some rotations in both LA and SA so you can pass your boards but there are schools like UC Davis for example that let you take the minimum rotation necessary for either SA or LA and then you can focus on the aspect you're most interested in. Extra rotations in small animal medicine for example.
