Just wondering if anyone has heard from OHSU aside from the "check received" email. Also curious to hear from last year applicants about the whole process, I know they're slow but shouldn't secondaries be coming out soon? Thanks!

Hey i havent heard anything back from oregon either, although I am an out of state resident. I also heard the don't process apps until late september..did you apply to UW by chance and have you received a secondary? I applied there and know of some friends receiving secondaries but they also applied a little earlier than me, i submitted to aadsas 7/31. Thanks!

OHSU - I don't think that D2, D3, and D4s are back on campus until late September, so maybe they don't focus on the applicants until everyone is back in school. I saw on the interview thread that in the past there are interviews offered in October, so that's not too far in the future! good luck!

They sent me an email a while back that said they're backed up on the 2010 apps and won't be reviewing 2011 until late sept/oct.

I'll second that, I talked to them and they said they wouldn't start reviewing/inviting until the end of Sept. early Oct.

Late September/early October is what I heard. I received my check receipt about a month ago. I heard OHSU takes a little bit longer than other schools when it comes to reviewing applications. Guess we'll see!

Thanks guys! That's comforting to hear, I'm out of state though so I'm not really all that hopeful that they'll want to interview me 🙁. Toothjanitor- yeah, I received a secondary invite through email a few weeks ago. Are you a WA resident? If not, that could explain why it's taking longer for you in addition to the later AADSAS submission date.

 

[toothjanitor]

no im not a Washington resident so i'm hoping that is why I haven't heard anything yet, do you think my aadsas mailing date was too late or okay, I was on dental mission trip for the first part of the summer and wasnt able to submit till then.

 

[onlyahobo]

First of all, I think a 7/31 mailing date is perfectly respectable. Secondly, even if it weren't, I think you have a good reason!

OHSU updated my AADSAS today to Received/Under Review. My app was complete mid-August.

Are you an Oregon res? I'm from Oregon but went to UW and didn't even apply :-/

no, im a minnesota resident actually, i know it is pretty competitive for out of state residents but I thought I would give it a shot both at UW and OHSU, I'm hoping they give me a chance at UW, I was out there earlier this year and absolutely loved it! We'll see, im trying not to get too discouraged if other out of staters aren't getting anything yet.

OHSU updated my aadsas too. Wa res

Yeah UW is a really great school- I did some research in the dental school as an undergrad and it was a really good experience. Unfortunately I don't think my stats are high enough as an OOS, otherwise it would have been one of my top choices. Good luck!!
