It seems like OHSU is starting to gain momentum in sending interviews, but I can't help but be a bit disappointed and nervous I may not hear back pre-December. I also know it's still early in the cycle since OHSU interviews many students post-December, but I can't help but worry!

So many of my in-state friends received interview invites in early October for both last and this years' cycles. I'm also in-state with okay stats, but I'm just left wondering if I should reach out or just keep sitting tight. I'm also wondering what about my application may have not warranted an earlier interview invite, but such is the mystery of dental school application processes 🙁 Just wanted to vent/see if others feel the same way!

I wouldn't worry, it looks like a large portion of interviews are post December. Like many people have said about OHSU, they are on their own timeline and are a bit slower in the process. Like @Endeross stated, they accept most people they interview. This means that they really take the time to decide who to interview. A lot of schools interview a lot of people and then go through the process of evaluating them afterwards, which is what it seems like OHSU is trying to avoid. I am also in-state with decent stats and have not heard back from them. However, I would rather get the interview and spend all of the traveling costs knowing there is a good chance that I will be accepted than just interviewing with a large pool of applicants and not knowing what my chances of being accepted are. I think it is a better way of doing it, and it saves both sides from wasting time and money. Best thing to do is just be patient, and if you get an interview then you know that the chances of being accepted are good.

Thanks for the perspective. It's definitely something I need to hear. Hope we all hear back soon!

Hi everyone! I was wondering if anyone has heard anything back from OHSU (Oregon Health & Science University) recently? I know they sent out their first set of interview emails early October but has anyone received invitation/rejection lately? Thanks

No, I have not ever since the competitive email. Does anyone know if they are still sending out pre-december interviews? Has anyone called their admissions office?

You will most likely hear back after the holidays.
 
I just called the admission office and asked them if they are going to send out more
pre-December interviews.

The lady told me that they are going to send out more interview invites within few weeks
But she did not mentioned anything about the pre-dec.

Anyways, good luck and have a great weekend guys!
 
Hi yall, sorry about a super random question.

I was just wondering are there pianos to be played in the OHSU dental building?
 
Hi everyone! I received an email from OHSU today saying that ‘they are not prepared to take official action on my application now’ because I do not meet their minimum credit hours requirement. I had 86 semester credit hours when I submited my application in August and they require 90. However, I’m still taking classes and I indicated that I will be receiving my bachelor’s degree by the end of spring. When I called them today they told me I can send my new transcript and update my academic history on AADSAS to meet their requirement when fall term ends (our school ends by Dec 15th). As you all know, it would take a while for AADSAS to verify my updated transcript. Do you guys think that would be too late for this cycle? Has anyone had a similar experience? Should I not expect to get an interview from OHSU this cycle?

Interestingly, I’ve received invitation from other schools with the same number of credits but OHSU was my top choice [emoji53]

Thanks

Theres no reason you cannot do the academic update on AADSAS and/or directly submit new transcripts after the term to them and just call to ensure its good. At least, that's what I'd do.
 
Is it better to complete the fasfa prior to the Dec. 3 notification date for schools you have interviewed for? Or does it not really matter?

Just had my interview at OHSU, super relaxed, some of the nicest interviewers I've ever met at OHSU

Do you remember if you status on AADSAS changed from "Received/ under review" to "Received/ Application complete" before you received an invitation to interview ?

No, I usually don't check my ADEA AADSAS portal, only my emails

Mine changed to "Invited for Interview" or something like that. It didn't say Received/ Application complete until after I had interviewed.
 
Anyone else waiting for an invite to interview? I have a strong GPA/DAT score and only recently did they ask to verify my Oregon residency.

Yeah but I'm out of state and have only received that competitive email, wonder if anyone else is on the same boat.

I am also OOS and have only received the competitive email. Does anyone know how many interviews they do after December?

Has anyone made a Facebook group yet?

One of our classmates will do so and start inviting y'all to it soon. We usually wait till January or Feb when a good number of people invited more or less stay with the schools theyve selected if they've had early interviews.

I called a couple days ago, she said they’re taking a short break right now and will send out more interviews invites around end of December, but most likely beginning of January.
 
A DS2 classmate of mine's buddy got an interview invite today to OHSU. So they're still interviewing

Congrats to the people who get accepted. I hope anyone who got an interview will share his/her stats and the date of submission and if they are IS or OOS.
