OSU-COM Discussion Thread 2010-2011

They require a picture because they link your phone number to your picture and file information so that when you call or when the committee looks you up, they can see who they're talking to/about.
I did everything on two pages total. Use any sans serif font, but other than that it doesn't matter.

hi,
What's the smallest font size you think could be used? I think the default is 12, but any idea if it can be lower to try and squeeze in more text?
As for the picture, is it head shot or full body?
thanks ^^
Hi everyone!
Does anyone know what stats are being interviewed now? I'm trying to find where I might fit into the next set of interviews...

Stats alone don't earn an interview at OSU, its the whole application. People with what could be considered "good" and "bad" stats could be in the same interview based on extra curriculars, job history, etc.Hi everyone!

Just wondering of those that are already accepted, how many shadowing hours do you have?

dont know if this has already been asked, but what do acceptance letters look like? and what do rejections and waitlists look like?
you get a phone call if you're accepted... then after that call they will overnight you the acceptance packet.

If you get a letter before getting a phone call, the best you can hope for is a WL spot.
Anyone know if calls went out yet for the early Jan interviews?
o sorry...haha.
Of the others that were accepted, how long after your interview did you have to wait for a phone call? Two weeks?

It seems slightly variable. I heard in 6 days

They tell you a max of two weeks, typically within 1 week however.
Good luck to everyone that's interviewing this week! OSU-COM was by far the easiest and most enjoyable interview I had. You've made it this far! Now they really just want to know how you'll fit into the class their building. Deep breaths! Relax and enjoy the day. Don't forget to ask questions!!
And don't worry when we come in and talk to you guys! We're all just weirdo med students who want to tell you how awesome you are!! Feel free to just nod and smile. 🙂

I interviewed a week ago Friday and got a hold letter on Monday. They are waiting on my most current transcript.

I got a call yesterday telling me that I was granted an interview at OSU. Scheduled for Feb. 11. I'm hoping I have a good interview. OSU is my #1 choice. I also applied for the Bridge Program as well, but I am assuming this interview was for the traditional path. I'm not sure, though. This is my only shot this year, as I didn't get interviews at the other schools I applied to.
First off congrats to Bravetown. When did you interview?
Longroad: Gl with your interview. You're late in the game but the only negative of such is majority of the traditional seats will be filled. If you get waitlisted or denied from this interview, an additional interview for the bridge program will be offered (if chosen) in April. The bridge is seperate from the traditional.

Yeah, I had shadowed a D.O. a few years back, but I felt that since it had been so long, I should probably shadow another D.O. for a LOR. I did that in the fall, so Dec. was about the earliest that I could get everything in. I wish that I would have done it last spring. If I don't get in the traditional route, I would be more than happy with the Bridge. If that isn't in the cards, I will definitely reapply around June. All I could do then would be to go through the reapplication process and get a job.
I didn't decide I wanted to pursue medicine until my junior year of undergrad at OU. I basically had to start all over when I switched my major to zoo: biomed. Began with a 2.96 gpa (after 2 years of undergrad) and after 4 more years of undergrad, got it up to 3.44 and 3.28 science. Then I went went to OUHSC and am finishing my MPH this semester with a 3.72 gpa. My MCAT isn't that great, 23Q. But we'll see. If they don't let me in this year, they will see me again next year. I have gone too far to give up. 🙂

For everyone who is waiting either on the waitlist or for an interview don't give up. OSU has alot of late acceptances, and I don't think they have made any decisions for the DO/Masters program yet so if you are interested in getting into med school and getting a masters contact them and ask. Also as most of you know the bridge program deadline is First of March. If anyone wants information about the bridge I am in it right now so just send me a message and I will give you details about it. Just realize it is a seperate program and it isn't easy to get into. There are only 9 bridge students each year.

Was the school open at all last week?
Monday only... We're at a loss right now becuase all of our first round tests are pushed back and the administration hasn't been too up front about whats going on.
I'm sure they are trying to figure out what's going on... Probably never planned on ever having 4 days off

In general how much time is there between the "file complete" email and the call to schedule an interview? And if you don't get an interview, are you notified? I got my file complete email from them on Dec 10th and haven't heard a thing since. Getting a little anxious here!
Just got the acceptance call. Interviewed on 1/26! So happy! Going to try and celebrate despite the impending snowpocalypse part deux!
I was also accepted today. Is there a facebook for accepted students?
