How did they notify you? Email? I am 13+ weeks out as well (Interview was 11/18) and it still has nothing on my portal beyond the fact that I interviewed. Did they tell you anything else except that you were put on hold? Thanks!
Did your most recent update before that say "Your MD interview has been scheduled for (Insert date here" then thank you for interviewing and ask you to fill out a survey about interview day? Just trying to get some context lol.
She said it outright. Like I said, she's probably very used to neurotic/anxious premeds calling in and has got her assuring spiel down, haha. I think the distinguishing thing is, while other schools may never outright reject you and just ignore you forever, OHSU WILL give you your decision once they've met and discussed you. So basically waiting is not a bad thing, and it's not a good thing. It's just a thing and you don't need to worry about it. And you haven't been put on hold/rejected yet! I got accepted around 16ish weeks post interview, so it's completely possible.
Was that your first update since your interview? Or had you heard something else too?
Yes, that was my first update on the portal. At 13+ weeks I was starting to lose hope!
vancouver wa resident here, should i apply next cycle? Im basically an Oregonian since I shop there so much.)))
Eh it's ok. There's still ESFCOM to keep me close to home. Wasn't optimistic about this school anyway. I'm trying to take the "beggars can't be choosers" mentality since I've been accepted elsewhere.
Sorry to hear that! When was your interview?
Never!
Submitted secondary late August, "complete" (ugh) December.
I interviewed the same day, still nothing for me either... Hopefully we'll hear soon
I have a friend that interviewed the first week of January and got a post-II rejection last week
Damn
It's wild how they jump all over the place. People who interviewed in January already know their status but people who interviewed Nov/Dec still not hearing anything!
definitely! that was the shortest response time I've heard of anyone getting so far, and also the worst news I've heard anyone getting. Goes to show that how long you have to wait for this school to respond really has no bearing on their final decisions
Same! Why do they do this to us!!
I got an interview for OHSU on the 7th and the available dates were toward the end of March or early April. From what I understood at the interview day, they are planning to interview into the first week of April (April 5th or so, if I remember correctly)... so as of two weeks ago, they were already booking the last ones? Having said that, they said this season has been delayed because of the crazy snow storm in Portland. I guess you'll have to wait and see what happens, but I think we are at the tail end of interview invites for this school. Good luck!
Congratulations!! That's so exiting!
Yay! When did you interview in January? I interviewed on the 25th and am trying to see when I'll hear back
I interviewed the same day; I was also put on hold just now.
