OSU does provide insurance but I’ve heard it’s not the best and pretty spendy. I don’t have first hand experience with it as I still get a little over a year to mooch off my parents. However, after that time I plan to go on OHP. It’s cheaper and better coverage. Most of my friends who don’t have insurance opt for this instead of Osu’s policy.
That is incorrect. I have several OOS friends on OHP. They require you to be a resident of Oregon, which is not defined the same way as it is for educational purposes. A resident of Oregon is simply defined as someone who lives in Oregon.
Were you on the OOS waitlist for OSU? Wondering if there is going to be any movement.
No sorry, I was an OOS given an offer back in December. I did not come off the waitlist.
just wondering, but what number were you on the waitlist? just asking because there seems to still be no movement at all and wondering if they just never updated haha
26 they sent an email that said that out of 160 offers for 150 seats they only got 8 or 9 declines which they said is very unusual given they usually move 30 or so people off their waitlist. So guessing no movement.
I'm #3 on the list.
Doesn't look very promising. This was my last hope. 😢
Congratulations! Best of luck!
Was that for IS or OOS?
She didn't specify, but I'd imagine it's for OOS. Can't guarantee that though.
I just read from #1 OOS that they will be declining their Oregon State offer and attending another school. So there may be hope.
Fingers crossed 🙂
The person is declining tomorrow their #1 OOS seat tomorrow.
Congrats!
Congrats!! Were you in the top 10 ranking?
Thank you! Yes I was #4
Anything is fine. There's more of a dress code for fourth year rotations, but you can wear whatever you want to class. It's very informal. Besides that, you need certain coveralls for a few labs you'll do first year.
I haven’t. I almost emailed Tess about this before the April 15 deadline as the radio silence had me paranoid that I missed something and might lose my seat 😕 I literally drafted an email and then got her email about orientation dates haha. I decided to wait it out as I’m sure they’re still super busy dealing with all of the changes due to coronavirus.
I had to pay to fill out a small application to get my student ID and whatnot when I accepted my spot... while not a deposit exactly I think that was similar?
When did you get the email?
I got that email on April 6th, but it if you search your inbox it wasn’t sent from Tess’s email (it was a donotreply)
Oh ok. You weren't a waitlist candidate. I was, but I'll check.
Was the sender oregon state?
I got it April 6th too. The email address was a donotreply but the message was still signed by Tess which is why I said it was from her, sorry for any confusion I may have caused with my wording!
No need to apologize. Thanks for the information. I got my email yesterday. 🙂
