That is awesome! Congrats! Do you know where you were on the OOS wait list? Also I think you need to get an Ohio driver's liscence, register your car in Ohio and then stay there for a certain number of days (so you can't have too long of a winter break out of the state, etc). I am not sure what else was required!Just heard from them. I'm in! Anyone remeber what it takes to get in state tuition after the first year?
Honestly I don't know. I was never told. I'm assuming must have been pretty high on the list. I'm super excited, now I just got to get things set up and see how hard it will be to get residency.That is awesome! Congrats! Do you know where you were on the OOS wait list?

I got a call this morning too. I'm in!!
I will decline all my 5 acceptance to go to Ohio.
I also want to know information about getting state tuition.
I heard that if my wife get a job before school starts, I can get state tuition for 4 years.
I emailed the school and the guy who does this sort of thing is out until monday. There is some information online if you google it, it will pull up and ohio state page with some links and information. Nothing super clear. I don't think I could make ohio work without getting at least 3 of the 4 years instate pricing, because 120k a year is a bit over the top otherwise.[/QUOTE
The student there said they basically guide you through getting in-state tution after the first year. I don't think it is hard at all- they want you to get the instate tution.
Hey, does anyone know the laptop situation for school? Do we just bring one we already have it do we have to get it from the university?
Do you mind sharing your ECs please? And what made you stand out, I am also wanting to go into dentistry in OSU.I have not been accepted into OSU yet, although I desperately want the acceptance letter from OSU. I got an interview with OSU back in October. Although my GPA is below avg for OSU but my DAT scores somewhat compensated my GPA. I attended OSU for my undergrad majored in biochemistry.
Remember, avg is just an average. People with higher/lower stats are accepted into dental schools every year. A competitve application is more than GPA and DAT score, you extracurricular activities also plays a huge role.
Good luck to you and everyone applying!!!!!!
I have a lot of working experience, volunteering experience, and shadowing experiences (won't go into details for these). I didn't do any research during my undergraduate. I believe OSU uses a special algorithm to rank their applicants. I believed that my ECs and DAT have both helped to compensate for my below average GPA.Do you mind sharing your ECs please? And what made you stand out, I am also wanting to go into dentistry in OSU.
Congrats I plan on applying to OSU soon. I see your GPA was low but excellent DAT scores, do you mind sharing how you did so well, study habits, how long you studied, what did you do. Discuss any extracurricular you may have done as well. Thank YouGot the call yesterday morning, so excited to go back to my alma mater on 10/04!!!!!!!!

....... OOSters, anyone staying at Blackwell?
After graduation, I spent about two months studying for the DAT, averaging about 8 hours everyday from 10AM to 8PM (30 min break in every 2 hours).Congrats I plan on applying to OSU soon. I see your GPA was low but excellent DAT scores, do you mind sharing how you did so well, study habits, how long you studied, what did you do. Discuss any extracurricular you may have done as well.

Good luck foodie2008. I haven't heard much, but I just withdrew from the OOS wait list through the survey email that they sent. Hopefully there will be a few more folks doing that as well.Any movement on the OOS waitlist? Looking at previous years' statistics, it seemed like they went through most of their waitlist, but I haven't heard much on this page 🙁
What are your stats mate?I start OSU dental school this fall. I think you have a good chance.
AA, TS, PAT these three are a very important factor for you to get invited for interview.
If I were you, I will make sure to improve this area.
OSU is the best dental school. Good luck.
