OSU's interview is an MMI format? or is it traditional? Or a mix of both?
OSU has a traditional interview. In the morning, you have a few info sessions with your interview group, and then in the afternoon, it's just two one-on-one 45 minute interviews with faculty and/or students.
Are the one-on-one interviews structured or more conversational?
semi-structured, they have a few questions they wanna hit but it goes pretty conversational, i enjoyed them
Hello congrats on your success!, out of curiosity for OSU in particular, is there time for us to ask questions in the morning Interview sessions? Approximately, How many applicants were in the interview group/cohort for that morning session?
this is what i'm trying to figure out too!
Yes they did! It said specifically on the portal that the interview was for PCT
Where on the portal? on the home page? I feel like i'm blind haha
On Vitals, when you receive an interview, it says PCT in the text at the top of the front page and has a 2 day interview schedule below it, day 1 with the regular MD program and day 2 with the PCT only. So if you only did a 1 day interview, then it was for regular MD! Hope that helps
okay cool! yeah I checked my portal and emailed them and it looks like it was for the regular interview. I think they should have just clarified with me that the PCT decisions were over since I did fill out essays for that. thanks so much for your help!!!On Vitals, when you receive an interview, it says PCT in the text at the top of the front page and has a 2 day interview schedule below it, day 1 with the regular MD program and day 2 with the PCT only.

ETA: just saw you got an II in Feb. Unfortunately PCT decisions came out early Feb, so presumably the interview is for MD only. Sucks they didn’t communicate that better!
When did they schedule you for, if you don’t mind me asking?
On the 15th of March
Two weeks
I did initially but I got off months ago.
Been deferred since 10/15 here 🥲
I know, I am still waiting to hear back anything. Sent an update in Jan and still got nothing. Sent an LOI today in desperation lol
Congrats!!! Did you get an email about status change before you checked vitals by any chance?
I actually found out about it yesterday afternoon! My A appeared on AMCAS before Vitals was updated. Received a phone call this morning as well.
What's deferred? Were you waitlisted?
What dates are they scheduling for? Still living on a prayer for some OSU love
Mine was scheduled for 3/22
Mine was also 3/22. An earlier comment said they emailed admissions and they were told invites are sent until 3/31, so don’t lose hope! ❤️
I appreciate the encouragement. I will keep hope for one more week!
i just interviewed recently ,and they said that they are not interviewing for waitlist spots! so you have a chance to get in
and yes they do rolling admissions i believe
Just email the admission office
Yeah, they did. OSU looks like they're pretty fast about it, sending decisions in about a couple of weeks more or less. I don't know if they send out the same decision release date to everybody or if they spread out the decision releases though.
what was the date they told you if you don't mind sharing? Thanks!
