Get help with your application
Use all the free resources available to you from SDN: articles, guides, expert advising, forums discussions, and school research.
I'll be here to answer questions as well. OSU hasn't had many active forum members the past few years so it has been hard to get info about the school.

Don't be sorry! You have been super helpful!!
You have been very helpful! It's just such a small class size so it's natural for there to not be a ton of representation here.
Second application cycle, first time applying to OSU. Can anyone tell me, since OOS don’t get interviews, when do we hear back? Do we have to wait until the IS have interviews and hear back?
I am applying OOS as well, and was actually just looking into this yesterday!! It looks like last year OOS decisions went out on 12/06
Thank for the info! Now I can stop worrying as much about this school for a little while. 🙂
Last year they were notified well before IS students.
Not applying to Oregon but I’m here for the Ed Sheeran beaver gif [emoji23][emoji23]
Well thank you. I tried lol
I saw someone say that they were trying to let everyone know beginning of next week, so hopefully we hear something soon!
The quarter ends tomorrow. So hopefully by next week you guys are notified. Current 3rd year here - open to answering any questions.

Admissions files were due a week ago so I'd imagine the process will be fairly fast from here.
I'm sorry 🙁
You’re so sweet! It was my #1 for financial reasons but I didn’t *really* want to spend another 4-ish years in Corvallis so it’s bittersweet
Thank you!
They sent me an email at 11:30 am Mountain time! 🙂
Oregon doesn’t have a “portal” page since the supplemental was done on that like google page thing, right?
Not sure if they also call to inform status! .

What’s your first initial of your last name? I’m still hoping mine will come soon because I have W for a last name
Last year, all OOS WICHE and IS applicants heard back first. All regular OOS applicants heard back the following week. My guess is that OSU is following the same timeline, because I haven’t heard anything.
I am OOS. Where are you guys seeing/getting your rejections/acceptances?
@M.v.123 got their acceptance through email. OSU doesn’t have a portal.
Thank you so very much! I applied to so many schools that it is hard to remember which ones had portals.

No problem! Best of luck to you! [emoji4]
Congrats to the incoming class!
To those who haven’t had great news: good luck on your other applications and you can always try again if you want. Remember that it’s not personal. You are still great!
If anyone needs anything, let me know!

I got an interview invite yesterday!
Congrats! Last year the odds for IS students getting interviews was pretty good.
Thank you! That’s good to hear. Was the MMI better or worse than you were expecting? I’ve had one interview so far but this will be my first MMI 😕
I didn’t do it personally because I’m OOS, but others in my class said the MMI was fine!

OOS rejected....
Also OOS waitlisted.
Edit: like others I would love to hear how they rank the waitlist, etc. c:

They weren't as bad as I thought. I prefer them to regular interviews, but that's just me
Congrats to all accepted!
And to all waitlisted: I know of a fair amount of people in my class who were originally waitlisted. It isn't over until it's over.
For those rejected, I'm sorry. Hold your head up high.
And if anyone has questions about OSU, I would still be happy to answer them on here or in a PM.
