class overbooked by at least 50.. probably more like 70-80.
We have some news to share with you that will hopefully provide you with more flexibility as you pursue your medical degree.
Due to a high volume of individuals who have indicated that they plan to attend The Ohio State University College of Medicine (OSU COM) beginning in August 2011 as part of the Class of 2015, OSU COM has decided to provide an incentive to encourage some students to defer entry into the College of Medicine until August 2012.
If you are willing to defer your matriculation into OSU COM until August of 2012, we will provide you with a scholarship equal to free in-state tuition for your first year in medical school at OSU COM (approximately $34,000, but in any event the full in-state tuition value in the Fall of 2012), so long as you continue to meet the technical standards for conduct required of students in OSU COM. This tuition-only scholarship will be in addition to any previous scholarship dollars OSU COM has awarded you. If you decide to take this offer to defer your matriculation until August 2012, it is expected that you will be committed to matriculating at the OSU COM.
Deferring medical school entry for a year may give you some time to rest after your rigorous undergraduate curriculum or pursue other interests. We hope that the offer of a full in-state tuition first year scholarship will help you make a decision.
These scholarships will be offered up to 50 individuals, with scholarship awarded in the order in which the responses are received. If you would like to take advantage of this opportunity, please respond promptly by email only to
[email protected]. No responses will be accepted after 5 pm Eastern Standard Time on Thursday, May 12, 2011. We will notify you promptly by return email if you are one of the scholarship recipients.
If you are not interested in this offer, you do not need to respond to this email.
If you have questions about this offer please contact Dr. Patricia Blyden, Ms. Sharon Agriesti, or me by calling (614) 292-7137.
Thank you for your interest in the Ohio State University College of Medicine.
