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.

I am a current fourth year in the program and am always willing to try and answer questions. My schedule is a bit crazy now, but I will do my best to answer any questions that I can! Good luck in the application process everyone!

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?

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.

It's been pretty quiet here... do you guys think us OOS applicants will hear back soon? It looks like notifications have gone out on 12/6 the past two years!

I saw someone say that they were trying to let everyone know beginning of next week, so hopefully we hear something soon!

 

[katashark]

The quarter ends tomorrow. So hopefully by next week you guys are notified. Current 3rd year here - open to answering any questions.

 

[johnsmith123]

Admissions files were due a week ago so I'd imagine the process will be fairly fast from here.

 

[fawthame]

IS rejection just received

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

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.

 

[MonkeyButt2018]

I am OOS. Where are you guys seeing/getting your rejections/acceptances?

Thank you so very much! I applied to so many schools that it is hard to remember which ones had portals.

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 waitlisted. Anyone have any idea of amt of people who go on waitlist, if they rank it, when we find out, etc?

 

[TinyBrown]

OOS accepted!

OOS accepted!! It is the first school I've heard back from and it feels so good!!!!

Also OOS waitlisted.

[ziggyandjazzy]

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

They weren't as bad as I thought. I prefer them to regular interviews, but that's just me

 

[ziggyandjazzy]

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.
