I thought it went pretty well! However, it was pretty disorganized. When I checked in, I was told they didn't know who/when my one-on-one interview would be. This applied to half of us. After the information session, they gave us more information. Mine was on the hill/main campus later that day, after an OHSU-wide fire drill. They gave me about 15 min to make it up there, which was not enough time. Ended up being late, and my interviewer asked if we could reschedule for next week (she first asked me if I lived in Portland). After telling her I was going to be out of town, she said we'll just do the interview now. I didn't mind it, either would have been fine, but I know for others, this could have caused a lot a stress. There was also an information session scheduled for 1:15pm and I had to miss this because of my one-on-one interview. Other applicants had to reschedule their one-on-one for the next day and some for late afternoon. I don't believe this occurs often. I believe the MMI went smoothly though, lots of breaks in between. Other applicants were friendly. Nice atmosphere. Friendly staff, faculty, interviews and students. Impressed by everything, but the planning of the interview day (again, I think it was just one of those days...).
Basically... LOLSo they made you leave the life sciences building in the middle of the day to get to your one-on-one?? What the heck haha...
They should apologize in the form of an acceptanceBasically... LOL
Hoping that subsequent interviews go more smoothly!
That only seems fair...They should apologize in the form of an acceptance

I'm sure they will! And I'm sure it'll be a credit to you that you stayed so calm under a lot of stress! Sheesh, most students would be totally freaked out about something like that... Haha.
Was parking easy for the life sciences building?

I agree that the interview day was not so organized. It was a nice sunny day so I didn't mind the drill. They tried their best to fix the problems. Many of us had to wait for more than an hour to have the one-on-one interview. I think the interviewer was kinda tired of interviewing many students. I still love the school and respect their efforts.
There is a parking garage and a parking lot next to the CLSB on Moody that is 10 dollars for the whole day. I've never had an issue parking there or finding a spot, especially if you get there early. I just put the address in my phone for the CLSB and found it pretty easily. Or if you would like, you can park at a trimet park and ride location and pay 5 dollars for a whole day and take the MAX.

There were 19 on the first day (last Friday - for whomever asked)
Yeah, you go to the one on one's office (at least in my case) and half the people were up the hill and half were still in the building. The ones in the building were either built into the MMI instead of breaks, or in the afternoon. The ones on upper campus were all in the afternoon. I also had an interviewer who was filling in last minute - but everything went smoothly for our day.

I'm still waiting too, and it's been 2 months.So I was looking at last year's thread and it looks like OOS who submitted between August and September took at times 2+ months to be marked as complete. FYI if anyone is coming up to the two month mark like I am.
Anybody know if reapplicants interviewing a second time have a better chance of getting in? Interviewing soon!!
Hello everyone! I've seen the history of this thread and I just wanted to mention that I am an OOS applicant as well. I submitted my secondary on the 24th of July. Over two months of no news is scary! Anyone else in this similar situation? Thanks!
Hey! I also out of state, and also submitted on the 24th of July. No news either! Exactly same situation as you. eep.
I was complete July 24th, same day I submitted the secondary.When were you both complete?
I got an II today too! Reapplicant, Oregon heritage! Quick q, I replied to the email requesting an interview date as soon as I got it, and I still haven't heard back from them or gotten a confirmation for my interview date. Anyone else have something like this happen?
Replied as soon as I got the email too, and I haven't heard anything! I like your profile pic and user name, go rams!I got an II today too! Reapplicant, Oregon heritage!

Ha, thanks, gotta love Cam! Glad to hear we're in the same boat. Congrats on your II and best of luck to you!Replied as soon as I got the email too, and I haven't heard anything! I like your profile pic and user name, go rams!
Anyone know what % of IS II's get accepted?
They'll go over this during you interview but from the top of my head;
Something like 6300 primaries, 4700 completed secondaries, 575 interviews, 225-250 offers, 153 matriculate.

That's pretty close to what they told us 1 month ago at my interview, although I know they expanded their class this year to 160.
A few other questions:
1. Is the one-on-one interview open file or no?
2. Are the MMIs a mix of the ethical discussion, interact with an actor, and regular interview questions (as OHSU describes in an article from 2011), or are any of those absent?
Thanks! It's nice to know what I'll walk into.
Yep, July 25th. Just hanging out over here. They'll get to us eventually.Submitted in July, still not processed 0.o anyone in similar position?
9/23 here, just checked the portal which has re-opened for me. No news yet.
