Did any of you guys accepted off wait list do anything as far as updates or letter of intents since being on wait list?
 
I know my fall grades got there about a week ago. That was the only change
 
I updated my grades from fall as well, I sent a transcript straight to the admission office.
 
where did you guys send updated transcripts? I definitely need to do that. What address and did you put 'attention' or anything specific? thank and congrats!

I think I sent it to:

Attn: College of Osteopathic Medicine Admissions
1111 W. 17th St.
Tulsa, OK 74107

I would imagine anything like that would work as long as you get the main address correct.

Thank you! Congrats again!!
 
Did you guys also update AACOMAS with your new grades or just OSU?

Just OSU. I was in the process of updating aacomas (and probably still will so their admissions demographics are accurate) but I had only send the school a transcript when I was accepted.
 
Hi guys, I am sad to say that I just turned in my decline notice, I hope it opens up a spot for one of you...

I'm sure someone will profit. TCOM is a great school though good luck there!
 
Hello everybody,
I have a question for you all and hopefully someone will know the answer. I interviewed at OSU in November and was placed on the waitlist and have still not heard anything back yet. Since it is close to February is this a bad thing? OSU is my number one choice and would love to hear something back but I do not know if the class is full and us on the waitlist are going to remain on it or if it is still possible even though it has been a few months. Congratulations to all who have been accepted and I hope I will be joining you in the fall.

I don't think so. OSU is notorious for taking their time with pulling from the wait list. They interview through March (I believe) and will refrain from making a lot of decisions until then. I received an email a few days ago for accepted students, the recipients weren't hidden, and there were only about 35 or 40 people on that list. Since then, they've probably accepted some more, but I'd be willing to bet that the class isn't full yet.

Just give them a call if you're curious! I'm pretty sure that Lindsey would be more than happy to let you know how their process is coming.

Good luck, guys!

Thank you for replying. Do you have any idea on how many people are on the waitlist? Do they score you and say that you are high enough to go on the waitlist and if you interview early you are high on the list or is it ranked? Just trying to get a rough idea while I wait.
 
I've also been on the waitlist since early November. I'm pretty sure there are quite a bit of people on the waitlist if they've only accepted around 50 applicants. My guess is that there are at least 40-50 people already on the waitlist. Also, they don't rank the wait list until they cut it down to the final in May or sometime around then.

Ya I am not sure how many people they outright reject or if the majority go on the waitlist. If the majority do then there would be at least over a hundred by now. This has been one of the hardest things to do I must say is be in limbo for so long. I know it will be worth it if we get accepted and it will be an experience if we do not. If we don't hopefully we will get accepted right away next year.
 
The website for OSU says you only have to have 90 semester hours and 75% of a bachelors degree completed before starting. Does anyone know how likely they would be to admit someone who has not earned a degree by the time classes start?

I hear that you can be accepted but the chances are slim just because there are so many that will already have finished their degree. I'm sure it varies from person to person but just from what I have been told its pretty rare to be accepted without a degree.
 
Would it be unrealistic if this is your number 1 choice, to apply only here a year early? and then expand your application if not accepted?

There should be quite a few applicants on the waitlist at this point, considering how late it is in the cycle, but what's important is that there are still a lot of slots to be filled. Like I said previously, I'm not sure exactly how many have been accepted, but I would guess that it's no more than 60. And of course, some of those that have been accepted will not matriculate, so the odds are still pretty decent for everyone that has/has had an interview.

Thank you again for the info!

Absolutely not. If you don't apply then you won't have a shot at all. Plus it will give you experience and if they say no then try again the following year. However if you are going to try don't limit yourself to one school. Try numerous places and your odds will greatly increase.
 
Did anyone get accepted of the wait list in January? I got an email from OSU yesterday saying that the committee was going to meet 1-2 times a month to review wait list applicants.

I was accepted second week of January

Oh that's right, I forgot there was already one round of acceptances from early January. I guess that's probably it for January then. Congrats, you deserve it man.

Would you mind telling me when you interviewed? I am on the waitlist at OSU and I am just curious. Thank you!

I interviewed November 29th (a Thursday I believe) and was accepted off the wait-list earlier this month.

I got the same email from Lindsey the other day haha. I wondering when the next round of interviews are. It's been pretty quiet in this thread..

Yeah, it sure is. I thought they had interviews pretty much every week.
 
How do you guys update AACOMAS with with new grades? I have a feeling committee is meeting this week or next as Lindsey asked me fall grades straight up. (Stupid Pchem probably gonna screw me �&#56862😉
 
Have you sent a transcript to the school yet? Lindsey asked me to update fall grades too so I sent a transcript directly to them in the meantime which she said was a good idea (since aacomas might take a week or two). I was accepted before I updated aacomas (still haven't, naughty naughty).

For aacomas I imagine you would send it to the same place as the first time?

Good luck, hope to hear good news from you all soon.
 
Go to the registrar office and put in a transcript request to aacomas. But I would also have it sent directly to Lindsey also. Good luck

Pretty sure if you're already accepted you don't need to worry about it. I haven't sent them my fall grades, and they haven't asked for them. :shrug:
 
Did the acceptance packet say at least final transcripts need to be submitted after spring though? I forget. I should dig out those papers.
 
yes, they do want spring transcripts sent at the end of the semester.
 
I got the call this week...Interview in two weeks. SO excited!! OSU is where I want to be!
WOW! Waited for that call for three years!
 
I'm hoping there will be some wait list acceptances soon..I know about 5 people who just got into OU who were already accepted to OSU
 
Just got the call from Dr. Stewart!! ACCEPTED!!!!!!!!!! I am so happy right now!!!!!
