I got the call and email today for a 11/16 interview! This is honestly my first dental school interview so I'm pretty nervous. Anyone have any advice who has interviewed there? I've heard that the OSU interviews are pretty laid back and they just want to learn about who you are and maybe ask a few ethical questions. I heard this from someone who is a current student and from students at their pre-dental day who said current students actually participate in the interviews to determine if you are a good fit with their community. Thanks everyone!
They close at 4:30pm.
Hopefully not. But it does look like it is done.

Not everyone is on SDN nor do they post if they got one or not. But they are done with calls unless spots open (if people do not accept the interview invite). So basically there is a very very slim chance of getting one now. I called Thursday to ask and this is what they told me before they called everyone Yesterday.
Welp that was a dagger to the heart

I will be at the 11/16 session as well! From what I've heard from current OSU dental students and former admissions board dentists it is kind of like speed dating. There are about 4-5 stations I believe and at least 2 students per interviewer at the station. It will either be someone on the admissions board or even a current student interviewing you. You earn points at each station for your total interview score. I've heard that it is pretty relaxed and they mostly are trying to find out who you are as a person and why you want to be a dentist, but also know your own application well so that you can prepare for potential questions they may ask you about personal experiences like volunteering or research. The Ohio State University College of Dentistry Interview Feedback This page has lots of questions people were asked at the OSU interviews.
A few days ago I got an email that I was being considered for DentPath! It said that interviews will be in February. Anyone else get this email? Also, does anyone know how many DentPath interviews are given vs how many are accepted?
I am not quite sure but I think there are 5 DentPath students right now.

Hey guys, I’m getting antsy with decision day coming up!! Does anyone know how Ohio State goes about sending acceptances? Wondering if they send out most of their acceptances on Dec 2nd or if it would be later and if it’ll be phone call, email, or something else?

From my understanding they notify you by phone. A lot of them go out tomorrow but I had a friend who got his call about a week after the first day

I checked out last year's thread and they originally said 9-2 but took even longer than that to finish calls so hope isn't lost yet but I'm getting really nervous.
Will they call OOS today also ?

I think they're supposed to close at 4:30 so it's getting pretty late :/
How are there so many of us on SDN that didn’t get accepted yet? They only reject like 20-25 in state kids that interview. This is wild man

Right! I'm so stressed! what we do if we dont hear anything today?
I am in state and have also not heard anything
dude idk.Last cycle it looked like all in-state kids got accepted on the first day. Only out of state kids got excepted a few days out. But there’s too many of us without a response for me to believe we’re all really s.o.l. I’m gonna go a second day without sleep if they don’t call me today
Also in state and haven’t heard anything. Unsure whether to keep hoping or not
