Anybody on here that was accepted or even interviewed OOS and willing to share stats? Im just wondering how competitive I'll be, not looking to waste time or money on a secondary if not. 32 MCAT 3.6c 3.51s

Based on numbers alone, you likely have as good a shot as any OOSer. The secondary for OSU is one of the cheapest for DO schools, though I think I remember seeing that it increased to ~$65 this year (?). Any ties to the state or desire to do primary or rural med will help and should be mentioned in the secondary. Call Lindsey/Sarah/Maghin at the admissions office, they're all very helpful and can give you the best info.

FWIW, there was an OOSer on SDN this week with no apparent ties the the state that was accepted with 3.6/3.7/33.

Can OOS students that got accepted please share your stats

Does anyone know if this school does recorded lectures?

 

[Apollo13]

Yes they do recorded lectures (called Tegrity recordings at this school). I think they still have "mandatory" attendance but you can access the lectures for studying purposes. This is esp. helpful if you have Windows as you can play them back at 1.75 speed. I couldn't do it on a Mac though... I know for sure the first semester of Foundations courses were all recorded and available to students but cannot speak on the other courses as I wasn't in those.

Does anyone know when any more acceptances will go out for the final waitlist? I know some people have withdrawn their acceptances.

I was under the impression from Lindsey that every time a spot came open they reviewed the waitlist and gave an acceptance. I know for sure it has happened that way twice this summer. Fingers crossed!

 

[jqueb29]

Yes, they review the waitlist and pick somebody each time an acceptance becomes available. The waitlist is not ranked

 

[state5050]

I got the call this morning that I am accepted! Good luck everyone, its not too late!

 

[LMR88]

I was accepted off the final waitlist this morning as well! FINALLY! good luck all!

I've been sitting on the final waitlist for some time now. Just got an email from UPS that says I should receive a package from OSU-COM. I haven't received any phone calls from them that I know of - does this mean I've been denied? This is killing me...

Is it next day air? Its probably good news because smaller letters are sent via USPS.

Yes it is being delivered via UPS next day air. I'm out of town on vacation right now so the suspense is killing me! The fact that I haven't gotten any phone calls isn't helping much either..

Next Day Air should be a good sign. Did you not give your cell # on your application? I'd call them to be sure or have a friend open the package since you're out of town.

Whenever I was called for an interview they called me on my cell number, so they should have it on file. I'll have my friend open the package, thanks

They called my cell for an interview but then called my house when I got in. Sounds like you've probably got good news!
