Reviewed Applications

What impressed you positively?

How soon we hear results from the admissions committee (<1 mon). Also how large OSU's alumni network is (1+ million). Also anatomy lab is nice and actually has windows (uncommon).

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really, Construction is a minor hassle, but is a sign of healthy growth at the university, so it is a good thing as well.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How easy it is for non-residents to gain Ohio residence. I though it would be much harder therefore more expensive, but it only requires a vehicle registration and living for 12 months.

What are your general comments?

I was incredibly impressed by the interview day. Everyone was very nice and thoroughly answered all questions. Several MS1s offered the tour so we toured in groups of 4 or less. OSU definitely is now one of my top choices.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
