II, OOS but with very strong ties to the state, 71 LizzyM, strong ECs, (hopefully) strong LORs, and completed on 6/30!

Good luck to the other candidates!

has anyone who got an II not taken the AAMC PREview?
is it looking like a requirement to get an II?

OUWB doesn't use PREview until post interview. So, it's not a requirement to get an II, and if you take it before, it won't be considered.
 
OOS ORM II received. 510 MCAT 3.8 GPA no ties Strong EC and Letters

I thought I got an II but it was a “get to know OUWB” admissions email instead :rofl:

For the first question of secondary, did everyone actually write 400 words? That's pretty long for a community service/diversity essay :oops:
 
Does OUWB send II in batches? I haven't heard from them since 7/2 (complete email). I'm IS and 71 LM.
Not sure, I haven't heard anything from them either and I was marked as complete on 6/28 (OOS, 3.5 GPA, 516 MCAT). I attended their admissions seminar and they did say that they follow a rolling interview/admissions timeline so it might be plausible they do batch invites.
 
II received today afternoon! OOS ORM, disadvantaged, high GPA and <510 MCAT.

Anybody know post II acceptance rate?
 
Is anyone a reapplicant? If so, how did you change your app from last year?
I did a physiology masters program that has an associated med school and also buffed up clinical and non-clinical volunteering

More clinical experience (which means stronger reference letters as well) and I applied earlier. Also did some research and organized a marathon fundraiser.
 
let me know how interviews go today!

Same boat! I called them this morning, and they mentioned that they don't review apps in the order that they were submitted/complete.

Just received a "Learn More About OUWB" email titled "Admissions Update" ???

Edit: it is in fact, not an admissions update -______-
