Anyone know how this school is with OOS applicants? I’m not sure why I’m having issues finding info about their stats and such.

Anyone know how this school is with OOS applicants? I’m not sure why I’m having issues finding info about their stats and such.

Last year these were the stats:
IS applicants 1208 / Interviewed 225 / Matriculated 105
OOS applicants 5779 / Interviewed 375 / Matriculated 96

The class is almost half OOS, but the kicker at Ohio State is that the median GPA for accepted OOS is 3.91 / MCAT 516

For the second question asking "The OSU COM has a goal of assembling a class that is enriched with a broad range of unique experiences. Do you believe this is a desirable goal for a medical school's student composition? Please elaborate." Is it a bad idea to add why you feel you add diversity to the school? Or should we strictly explain what we think about medical school student diversity in general?

Sorry for a potentially dense question, but I haven't received the secondary yet and was wondering: When the prompt says "Required Essay," do they mean pick one of the options listed? (i.e. 1 out of the 2 for the universally required essays, and 1 out of the 4 optional essays if applying to those tracks)

Thank you in advance!

Is anyone else having problems accessing the supplemental. The code they sent me does not work. Haven't heard anything back from them when I emailed.

 

[Delawarean]

I already submitted the secondary but now I have no idea how to log back in to that to look. I got the username activation email but now my original log in doesn't work for the secondary.

what did you decide to do? im stuck with the same question

 

[WilburTI]

what did you decide to do? im stuck with the same question

I mainly talked about student diversity in general without bringing up my personal diversity. I related it to other groups and how diversity helped in those situations. Not sure if that's exactly what they're looking for but hopefully it answers the question okay.

 

[Labe]

what did you decide to do? im stuck with the same question

I ended up discussing some generic points about the importance of diversity, and included a personal learning experience I had working with someone different than me.

 

[Sneakyboi10]

Did anyone else have trouble paying the submission fee? If so, how did you fix it?

Was this required for regular MD, or just MSTP?

 

[thatmeticulouschick]

I believe just MSTP but my portal never mentioned it so I plan on reaching out.

[docbrownbear]

I got an email saying that my secondary application was received but also noticed an interview tip sheet attached to the email. Does this sheet get sent out to everyone who submitted a secondary?

you can check on your application status through the Vitals portal - they should have sent you a link to activate your account within a few days after submitting the secondary.

 

[enter-sandman]

II received MSTP complete 7/31!

 

[fakeprofile17]

I'm also having this exact same issue 😭

yeah i dont think you can go back onto the original portal where you submitted your secondary. OSU sent me an email a few days after I submitted to create a new account on their edu website

I agree, once you've released your secondary essays into the universe you can't go back & see them or edit them.
Save any school portal links & login info because those are where you will check on your status, in addition to maybe getting an interview invitation in your email

 

[littlemac]

[deleted1167849]

If I have mainly rented an apartment, what would I include for the value of the childhood home? There are numerical options and one option to leave it blank. You guys think it’s ok to leave it blank?
Sad poorboi hours

 

[desper8]

What did you end up doing? I'm debating whether or not to complete those questions.

"For the 2024 application cycle, Regular MD applicants can request to be considered for Community Medicine Track if they are waitlisted for the Regular MD. Applicants indicate this interest by checking the appropriate box on the secondary application and completing the Community Medicine MD Track questions within this application." This is what it says on their website!
