Program-Specific Info / Q's Updates from Ohio schools?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I haven't heard anything from OSU or Toledo, beyond an e-mail about the OSU fellowship.
 
I haven't heard from Toledo. In the info session, they said they review a group at the end of every month, so they are probably waiting for October to end to review!
 
I emailed UT on 10/21 to ask when we could expect to hear back and this was the GA's response:

"Typically, applications are processed and reviewed in October, January, and then in April after the cycle closes March 1st. Depending on which application pool your specific application is reviewed in, you will hear within 4-6 weeks after any of those times. For example, if your application fell in October, it would be within 4-6 from around this time."

Hopefully that helps anyone who applied there! Good luck to you all 🙂

Thank you so much! 🙂 Good luck to you too! And if any of you can post when you hear, that’d be great! I am dying to hear back from Toledo and OSU.
 
Hi there! I literally just checked my Toledo application status and was accepted!

Thank you!! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you! If it helps give you an idea of when you might hear, I submitted my application on 9/30.
 
I had to check my application status on the website, no e-mail, but I got a letter in the mail today.
 
Congratulations, @hccinmil! I also just checked my application today and was accepted! I applied on 8/27.
 
Has anyone who applied in October heard back from Toledo? I keep checking and my application on the UT portal was created on 10/19. Good luck to all!

You’re probably right.

I will let everyone know on here as soon as I hear back! I’m hoping it can’t be too long now.
 
I am still waiting to hear back from OSU as well! I also applied to University of Cincinnati, Cleveland State, and Walsh. Has anyone else applied to those? 🙂
 
I just received an interview invite from OSU for 12/12! I applied for the fellowship and submitted my application in August, if that helps with a timeframe for others.

Congrats! Thank you so much for sharing. I’m very disappointed that I didn’t get one, but oh well I guess.

I don’t know if that necessarily means you didn’t get an interview invite! They may still be sending more over the coming weeks. You could email OSU to ask!
 
Hey OSU peeps!

I emailed the graduate program manager today and asked about interview invitations. She said that they sent out invitations for December interviews yesterday and are working on selecting their candidates for the January interview day. According to her, those invitations should be sent out within the next day or two.

I was invited to apply for the fellowship, and I said "Since I applied for the fellowship and was not offered a December interview, is it safe to assume that I'm not being considered for the program?" (I meant the OTD program, not the fellowship program.) She said "That's correct. Those who are being considered for a fellowship are being interviewed in December." I took this as I am no longer being considered for the OTD program, my best friend (a dental student at OSU) read the email and interpreted that I am no longer being considered for the fellowship and could still be offered a January interview.

Do with that information what you will! I hope that helps out my fellow applicants. Good luck to all, I hope you gain acceptance to your dream program!

I haven’t unfortunately. I’m just assuming I didn’t get in; it’s too hard mentally to have any bit of hope at this point 😅

I felt that in my soul hahah, but if it makes you feel any better I still haven't heard anything either!

I wouldn't give up yet! I think they said the January interviews are on the 16th. I heard back about the December interview less than 2 weeks in advance so maybe you will hear back closer to January!!

Has anyone heard back from Ohio schools? (Specifically OSU, Toledo, and Findlay OTD or MOT)? Good luck everyone!

I haven't heard back, except for the fellowship application. :/ Although I've had Interviews and acceptances from other schools in the country. 🤷‍♀️
 
Hi everyone! I heard back from OSU today, and I was wondering if anyone has heard back regarding the fellowship application. Good luck!

congrats! are you planning to accept?
 
Would anyone mind sharing what the interview process was like? I'm participating in the Jan 16th applicant day.
 
In December, there was an introduction at the beginning and then a program overview and Q&A at the end. In between, there were three sessions of interviews, where we were split into groups, but it's not a group interview, you speak with the faculty individually. We spoke with four or five separate faculty about different topics related to the program's mission and goals.
Best of luck with the interview!!
 
Does anyone know if January is their last interview date, so if you had not heard from them yet, you are not being considered?

I believe tomorrow (the 16th) is their last interview day, they told me that if you are not being considered they are letting you know next week.
 
Anyone joining Findlay’s weekend MOT program?
