I was confirmed 8/1 and have yet to receive a II as of 9/1/2016
Yes, I am in-stateI don't think anyone can answer that. Are you IS?
AHHHH II just now!!!! Crying a lot. Let me come home, Oregon!!
II! Dates offered: Sept. 16, Sept. 21, Sept. 23.
So so so happy.
Edit: Complete on 8/1/2016.
I took the 16th so I can then fly down to SF for my Touro one on the 19th - not gonna lie, little nervous for OHSU's MMI followed by group interview (Touro). Seems like the clocks have been put on fast forward, and I haven't had a chance to do any mock interviews yet this cycle. Then after all this, the wait till mid October is going to be so long!
I am currently an MS1 at OHSU. I did my undergrad in Tucson and applied with a 3.98 and 35 on my MCAT (97th percentile for those who are not familiar with the old scale) and do not qualify for in state tuition or any kind of heritage. It is important to understand that once you qualify for one of the mission based groups, you are viewed the same in the eyes of the admissions process as any other applicant who qualifies for any other mission based group. If you do not fit into one of these groups, you are not considered for admission. Here are the various groups for those of you who haven't looked into it yet...I'm a Californian too. 3.8 GPA with 515 MCAT. No ties with Oregon at all, but would like to apply. I don't want to throw my money away so should I still apply?
WOOO!! I'm excited to meet you!II this morning!!!!! AAAAAH I AM SO EXCITED!!! This is my top choice school!! I requested 9/23, too!!! I am seriously so happy right now!!
Hi everybody,
I got II this morning. I was complete on 8/9. I have one small question though. I didn't reply to the invitation email, instead I sent a separate email with the date and also included a photo of myself in the email. I haven't heard back. I'm wondering if I have done something wrong.
Congrats to everybody!
I did the same thing, it just took them a while to get back to me. I think I sent my email at like 8:30am yesterday and got a response after 3pm. Don't worry!
I've gotten to the 6.5 week mark for waiting for my file to be marked complete. When I called a few weeks ago they said 4-6 is normal, so I'm not panicking. Just assuming they're slammed and working on it. Out of curiosity, anyone else in the same boat from OOS?

How did the first rounds of interviews go this week!?
Oh, I'm not sure why I thought it was the 6th! Well good luck to everyone interviewing tomorrow!!!!!!!!! BTW: How did you prepare @mavric1298 ?If I remember correctly Friday is the very first day (at least that was my impression if I remember what was said in my II email). Getting nervous for my first interview of the season!

Yay!!!! I'm happy you enjoyed the day! Thanks for taking the time to share your experience! I am interviewing this Wednesday and you've made me super excited!So after completing the interview today, I have to say I LOVE the program. I have never been around a group of people that were more pleasant - from all the fellow interviewees, to the random dent/pa/med students we ran into throughout the building. Everyone was truly great, and the interview was way, way, less stressful than I imagined. I can't sing high enough praise for the school, their new curriculum (I could talk about this for days), the support they show their students, and just the overall feeling/vibe.
If your interviewing here, just know that everyone seemed to be a relaxed, normal person, just trying to figure out who you are. The MMI interviewers were great, the one on one was great, the med students having lunch with us was great. I'm just thrilled with the experience - which is only going to help me moving forward with my other interviews. I was so nervous for my first interview ever, and it was a piece of cake - almost....fun.
As far as what I would recommend if you're looking to prep? Don't. Be yourself. Give honest answer and have meaningful dialogs in those 8 minutes. The questions didn't require any prep other than brining your brain and working through them. Honestly - don't stress, enjoy it!
Thanks for this information! I've been doing so much prep for the interviews....so nervous and excited all at once.So after completing the interview today, I have to say I LOVE the program.

Hello! MS1 here! While I do think it is important to not sound rehearsed and to be yourself, I think some people could benefit from prepping just a little. I watched a couple of YouTube videos on types of questions that they could ask during the MMI and I think it really helped! Simply because I realized that there were a few topics that I didn't have an opinion on yet and it forced me to understand why I had the opinions that I did on certain topics. If you walk in having a sold idea about why you feel the way you do, then it could make it easier for you to talk about. But like previous posts have said, the most important thing is to just have fun and be yourself! I just know that it helped calm my neurotic brain to feel as if I had prepped a bit. Good luck everyone! Hope to see you next year also if you have any questions let me know! I'll try to answer as best I can and I can always ask other students too!

Did you guys get a complete email once your app was marked as complete on the portal? Chillin at almost 2 months over here, so it would be nice to not have to keep checking it every day if they email.
