OSU Class of 2025 Interview/Acceptance Thread

Members don't see this ad.
I’ve got some info! This is on their website:


Most admission decisions will be made following receipt of autumn semester grades and will be conditional, based on successful completion of any prerequisites and maintaining satisfactory academic progress.

Interview: The admissions committee will select qualified students to interview for admittance into the program. Interviews will be conducted on campus in late February or early March; check back for updates. Out-of-state students will have an option to interview via video conference.

Isnt that seem to be for hygiene program? I am not sure but I think it is under the hygiene program... correct me if I am wrong!
 
I contacted admissions about interviews, and they said they should be sending out invites within the next couple of weeks! They plan to notify acceptances on decision day, December 15th, as well.

In the past, they invite you to an interview 2-3 weeks prior. Given the circumstances, they may only give 1 week's notice and make the interviews online this year.

Did they happen to tell you how many waves/batches they plan on sending invites, or are they going to send all invites on one day? I'd email to ask myself, but since I already emailed last week for something else, I don't want to seem annoying lol

I spoke to one of the admission counselor about 2 weeks ago and all she mentioned was that interview invitations have not been sent to students yet so nothing to worry about. I guess we will just really have to wait. It is just making me anxious as there are only 5 weeks until the decision date. Assuming they notify students only a week ahead of interview for latest to be first week of December, we have about 3 weeks to hear back from. I think they might still do one or two batches but who knows! :diebanana:



+pity+Hope I dont go too crazy for next few weeks!!!

they said they are still planning on interviewing around 240 applicants. They did not specify how many different interview dates there will be, but in the past, there's 4 with about 60 applicants on each of the days.

Is this what OSU is utilizing this cycle?

I believe so. Although it makes sense given the amount of candidates they have to interview by December. A little nerve-wracking since it won't be with a student or faculty, but now it's more a time for celebration 😀 😀 😀

Application complete date: 8/14 but pre-reqs approved 10/16
GPA (science, overall): 4.0, 4.0
DAT (AA/TS/PAT/Reading/any section below a 17): 22/21/26/25/none

Interview #5
School: OSU
Notification date: 11/12/20
Method of notification: Email
Residency: MD (OOS)
AADSAS mail-out date: 07/15
Application complete date: 9/10 (prerequisite email)

*Michigan also did their interviews through Kira. The website was very easy to use, but the interview not fun considering Michigan's MMI format (had to read multi-paragraph prompts and respond). I'm sure OSU's questions will be different, and easier to answer without a person present.

Anybody in-state receive an interview? I was dreading this day that people started posting invites in this thread lol

I know that at least a few in states got invites today. OSU usually sends most of their OOS invites in the first wave so I wouldnt worry too much if you haven’t heard yet (I haven’t heard from them either and I’m in state).

What do you mean without a person present?
 
In the orientation meeting yesterday (recorded & posted online for those who could not attend, and also another session is planned for Dec 3rd), admissions said some Kira Qs will be answered with a typed response, and others with a a recorded video response.

They also asked us to spread the word to not panic if you haven't yet received an email invitation (i.e. interviews are still being sent out!)

Where is the zoom meeting posted ? Can you send a link?

Its the link they included in the interview invitation email. It looks like they haven't posted the recorded zoom session yet, but they said it may take a couple of days to get it uploaded, so hopefully its available soon.

OOS student here also got an invitation last week. First time trying this new kira style interview. For those that already did the interview did you have enough time to get your points across because I did the practice questions and each response had to be 45 seconds. Is the real thing similar in terms of time of response being 45 seconds of is it different for different questions? Thanks!
Click to expand...

For the real thing I got 30 seconds of prep and 1:30 to give an answer, which I thought was plenty of time to give a decent response. Wish I had slightly longer to prep, though.
 
Received Interview invite last Friday, I sent an e-mail today asking to no longer be considered. Hopefully that results in one more person getting an interview! Good luck!!

Why did you do that if you don’t mind asking!
 
malacitis said:
I have interviewed with several schools that I feel would be a better fit for us. Nothing against OSU at all, just how things have worked out!

Icic 🙂)) thank you for letting us know!
 
To those who have already completed the Kira assessment, what were the questions like? I have no idea what to expect lol
 
Veni vidi vicii said:
4 video responses and 1 typed. More than enough time to answer the question in the real thing. Know about past experiences etc
Click to expand...
So It didn't take more than 30 minutes right?! Thank you for your input by the way!
 
I just finished the Kira interview, and it was definitely a new experience but probably the best approach with not being able to meet in person. I thought it was simple and pretty easy, and you had a chance to calm your nerves before moving onto the next question. I believe I had plenty of time to prepare my answer but thought I was running out of time when answering the questions. I am a reapplicant, so I interviewed with OSU last year, and I thought this method really misses out on connecting with your interviewer, but what else are we supposed to do during this time lol.

Good Luck, Everyone!

Thank you for sharing your experience!!! I really appreciate it 😊😊
 
Any advice on writing a letter of intent to OSU? I don’t have an interview. But this is my top choice. I wasn’t sure if it’s a good idea. Or even if they will have more interview invites to give.
