Was just taken off the waitlist here at the Dublin campus yesterday. In my mind, this means they still have spots to fill because there are less seats at Dublin than at Athens. Wishing everyone still waiting good luck!!!

I just emailed the manager of admissions to ask for an alternate list update as a final hail mary since orientation for other school I got into starts in a couple of weeks. I'll let you know what they say

Where do most students live in Athens? I'm starting to look at housing and want to avoid undergrad areas. The condos at 247 W Union St seemed appealing. And does anyone know how M1's find roommates? I'm in the facebook group but not much has been said on there.

Current students said most med students live at University Courtyard or the Summit. Are you in the OUHCOM Athens Facebook group or just the general class of 2025 group? There are people posting about looking for roommates there
 
To those who were accepted off the WL, how long did it take for your portal to update? And did you receive any emails with an official offer letter and the next steps for admission?

After I received a phone call, they sent me an email with my scholarship offer and admissions letter the same day. They said I had to email various people within 2 weeks to accept both my seat and scholarship.

Unsure about the portal question tbh.

Hi friends! Looking for some advice...I was waitlisted in March and have sent updates and such, basically they responded saying that they have to wait for seats to open up before movement can happen....should I consider reapplying right now? I got feedback after my interview and they basically said that I'm in good shape to get off and not to count them out...but it hasn't happened yet so I'm super nervy and don't really know what to do. Any advice would be really appreciated!

Dublin and Athens! May I ask where you’ll be going instead?

Np! I’ll be going to UCCOM. Will be withdrawing from the Cleveland campus. Whoever gets my seat will be one lucky student, it took me months to make this decision.
 
Accepted to Dublin off WL just now! Did not have an acceptance to Athens or Cleveland prior.

You can send your secondary to me if you want. We may not have done the same essays but I'll at least look over it
 
Hello! I will be applying in 2022. My stats are 3.75gpa, 3.6sgp. Will be taking the MCAT in January 2022. I will be applying to OU next year in hopes of getting admitted into the Dublin campus because I live in Dublin. Does each campus have its own criteria or selection factors for students? Like what can in do to increase my chances of getting into the Dublin campus?

I think the biggest factor for these campuses besides gpa and mcat are having ties to the area

If you live in Dublin then you have a very good chance of being assigned to that campus if you're accepted. Not a lot to do, perhaps try to shadow/volunteer/etc with OU-HCOM in Dublin, but other than that you'll be fine.

I don't live in Dublin but I live around 10 miles from the school. Is that close enough to be considered for the campus?
 
scatter-brain said:
I would definitely say so. That's basically the same as walking distance in this country.

Thanks it's a little over 10 (10-15) and about a 20 min drive so I'm hoping I get into this campus so we don't have to move.

Hello! I am on the waitlist right now at ouhcom and am thinking about postbacc options. Did you get invited to apply for the ouhcom postbacc or did you apply for it separately? And how is it going for you this year, I am guessing you are close to being complete? Thanks!

The post bacc program is invitation only and is usually sent out to waitlisted URM students, students from underserved areas in Ohio, and those with strong ties to the university. I completed post bacc and I am currently finishing my OMS-1 year now.

Hi everyone, current waitlist student here. The adcoms here have said that this wl is the lowest they have seen in years however I’m trying my best to hold out hope. Do you know of anyone who was pulled off in July/august?
 
In my year, people were moved off in July I believe. I was moved off in June
