Yeah, me neither. So I was very surprised to see “we regret to inform you that you will not be offered an acceptance” instead of a deferral.
Reeeee-tweetttttt +1
hmmm I didn't, they probably rescinded my A or something lmao
I don't know about their last interview date, but I reached out to them to make sure my application wasn't shadow-rejected or just lost. They confirmed my application is still in the running and they will reach out to me via email if anything changes. Fingers still crossed I guess?
Website says September - March. I don't think many refuse an OSU II, so I think they're highly likely booked to the end (at most, one or two more).
It's not new...but definitely rare. Maybe the 14-member panel critiqued something that the screeners thought was ok? You know your app best, but it's a possibility.
What's this about the 14-member panel? Is that how they go over applications post-interview?

Yes, my interviewer talked about this. They write their evaluations and it goes to the committee. One person will read the interviewers evaluation, then they will review the rest of your application and vote on it. Then she said something about a super committee... But she kind of lost me there.What's this about the 14-member panel? Is that how they go over applications post-interview?
Wow lol I didn't get all that insider info from my interviewer...
My interview was like a 5 minute interview and then 45 minutes of just casually talking. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing but that's probably how we got on that topic. 😂
Mine just described the process at the beginning. We had like 30-40 minutes of standard questions: Provide me with an example of X. Anything from teamwork, diversity, resilience, self-learning, etc. across both interviews. Didn't get asked ethical questions nor why medicine (I was asked why not engineering/research career though), interestingly.
For end of March? Seems like that's the end of interview season.received an interview invite just now!
Yes, for March 31st!
Nope!
Negative
Wew that last sentence hit different different.
Can you share if he/she is IS or OOS ?
I think merit went out a little earlier than financial aid offers last year
Hey @porterjustice, I don’t want to call you out but I think you have valuable insight into being an in state applicant on OSU waitlist but having it expire. I know it is propably is a time you don’t want to remember back to, but I think it would be helpful for anyone who views this post later for how waitlist operates. On their website it says the waitlist is active until orientation, but at what point did you or they contact you to tell you that they were not going to accept you. Did they literally not contact you at all and you had to find out that you were not accepted in mid August? I have been deferred since October 29 and it looks like OSU may be my only hope this cycle, so would like to know what I can expect. Also, did you send in a letter of intent back then or any type of updates through the cycle?
Yeah so they literally never contacted me after waitlisting me lol. No sort of communication whatsoever after that point. I did not send any updates/LoIs.
Ok, that’s good to know. Thank you. I’ll propably try to follow up with them but it may be a generic your application is still in the running. Maybe they wont give me a definite answer until like mid August after orientation week.Yeah so they literally never contacted me after waitlisting me lol. No sort of communication whatsoever after that point. I did not send any updates/LoIs.
edit: And I just feel like saying I am so grateful and blessed to have been rejected that cycle. So many wonderful things have happened in my life since then. I wouldn’t be where I was without my gap years. But I do appreciate your thoughtfulness in wording your questions
Yep.
I think that is correct. If I remember right the people who interviewed late March got their decision mid April and then the first waitlist acceptances went out April 30-May 1 in my cycle. However, considering May 1-2 is a weekend this year I'm not sure if they will start before or after that weekend
The Midwest.
Yeah I would have thought working at the hospital here, graduating from here, and doing my volunteer research here would have counted for something but I guess not.
Imma go kick the door to Meiling for you don't worry
I'll mean mug the building on my way to work on the weekends
And offer a blessing to the Tom W. Davis clocktower
Hi! I just withdrew my II here after realizing that I want to go to Case. I hope it goes out to someone!!!! Best of luck to everyone and just a reminder to not let other people's opinions on an application when they have 1000s to review impact how you feel about yourself and your journey
Case is awesome
shout out to people like you. Congrats on Case!!
I got rejected outright from my undergrad school with a letter of recommendation from the Chair of Radiology from that same institution who I've worked for my entire gap year plus one year of undergrad. How come our alma maters don't want us, man?
End of April is when the deferred list becomes a waitlist. Historically kind of a high waitlist movement. Apparently because of the Midwest (see earlier 😂). I don't think anyone knows how wait list movement will be with covid though. Like did OSU interview more people this year? Will more people take different acceptances? Who knows.
Haven't heard anything here, but a student in my interview day recommended we negotiate and made it sound like OSU was pretty good with it!
Was this via email or call or in the portal? Congrats again!
