It is NOT a soft R.Post-interview hold, OOS, interviewed week of 12/11. Anybody know what the acceptance rate looks like from hold? Or is this a soft R?
Last year, I was part of the second batch of interviewees so really early. Like Aug/Sept. placed on hold after Thanksgiving. Didn’t hear til first week of May. Brutal waiting but Peteyfish is right.Post-interview hold, OOS, interviewed week of 12/11. Anybody know what the acceptance rate looks like from hold? Or is this a soft R?
I can confirm that invites for at least one merit based scholarship have been sent out. Sorry, I don't know anything about any other scholarships. Although, I'm assuming it'll be awhile on anything need based, given the FAFSA shenanigans this year.Has anyone heard about any scholarships from them? (unrealistically) hoping for one and wanted to see if theyve sent any out yet
Nothing set in stone but they said at the campus visit this past week that it is very much possible that financial aid packages won't even be out before 4/30... the FAFSA changes are really causing some major problemsI can confirm that invites for at least one merit based scholarship have been sent out.

This is so insane bc most of us are gonna base our decision off of what school will be the cheapest.. so it would suck to release an acceptance without knowing how much you could’ve gotten .Nothing set in stone but they said at the campus visit this past week that it is very much possible that financial aid packages won't even be out before 4/30... the FAFSA changes are really causing some major problems
That's exactly what I'm terrified of... they said that all schools will likely be in the same boat, so possibly some changes will be made to the process to accommodate these issues but I'm pretty pessimistic. I can't honestly see the AAMC making changes to the plan-to-enroll dates or anything.This is so insane bc most of us are gonna base our decision off of what school will be the cheapest.. so it would suck to release an acceptance without knowing how much you could’ve gotten .
Do you know how long it takes for them to send the email invite? I received my A 3 weeks ago...There's a Discord. You should get an email with an invite to join soon.
I interviewed on the same date! Still nothing and i think it’s because they just haven’t begun discussion for us yet because our interviewers haven’t evaluated us. Very tough waiting I also thought I was alone as I didn’t see anyone who interviewed as early as I did! We got this tho!!Interviewed 11/14, still no update on the portal or via email! Anyone in a similar situation still? I saw some post from interviewees from 11/16, so maybe I'm still not alone lol
There is a student admissions liaison who takes care of this, and they usually batch these invites. I'm sure they'll reach out soon.Do you know how long it takes for them to send the email invite? I received my A 3 weeks ago...
Based on a post above it looks like this is the last week on interviewsIs Oregon done interviewing? I have not gotten an R or an II or a hold yet.
Glad to hear I'm not alone, but so sad we are still suffering! So bizarre that we've been waiting so long!!! Good luck to the both of us.I interviewed on the same date! Still nothing and i think it’s because they just haven’t begun discussion for us yet because our interviewers haven’t evaluated us.

Thanks for the update! Do you know how many total offers OHSU gives each year?Interview update. Sent today.
150 (I think this includes MD/MPH and MD PhD's; 33ish considered OOS last year if I remember correctly)Thanks for the update! Do you know how many total offers OHSU gives each year?
Thanks for the quick reply! I was also wondering - does OHSU send out more than 150 offers to fill 150 seats in their class? Or does this mean that since there have been 119 offers so far there will only be 31 more offers? Sorry, I am new to this process.150 (I think this includes MD/MPH and MD PhD's; 33ish considered OOS last year if I remember correctly)
Oh yeah, way more offers than 150 will go out. It's definitely not just 31 remaining.Thanks for the quick reply!

Thank you so much for your replies!Oh yeah, way more offers than 150 will go out. It's definitely not just 31 remaining.
As I have said before, a large proportion of the class will be accepted from the hold pool in the final days of April.
not alone!Interviewed 11/14, still no update on the portal or via email! Anyone in a similar situation still? I saw some post from interviewees from 11/16, so maybe I'm still not alone lol
I did not ask them why I haven’t because I’m too nervous to, instead I gave them an update letter (which I hear does not impact your file but it was mainly to be like a reminder that I’m an applicant hoping that they see it and give me some updates). However it did not work as I am now 14+ weeks out still hahahafor those of you (like me) who are 13+ weeks out from your interview date, has anyone contacted the admissions office? I'm def freaking out a little
i’m also too scared lmaoI did not ask them why I haven’t because I’m too nervous to, instead I gave them an update letter (which I hear does not impact your file but it was mainly to be like a reminder that I’m an applicant hoping that they see it and give me some updates).

I think I noticed this week they did not send out As but it’s the last week of interviews apparently. Maybe next week we will hear back? Hopefully!!
Yes I did, they said they wouldn't accept any updates and that I should be hearing back from them soon (that was 2ish weeks ago and I haven't heard anything yet).for those of you (like me) who are 13+ weeks out from your interview date, has anyone contacted the admissions office?

ugh. thank you for being brave!Yes I did, they said they wouldn't accept any updates and that I should be hearing back from them soon (that was 2ish weeks ago and I haven't heard anything yet).
Wow quickest turn around I’ve seen. Congrats!!Accepted! OOS Interviewed 2/26. So excited!!!
Congratulations!!!! Anyone else from that week hear back yet??Accepted! OOS Interviewed 2/26. So excited!!!
Basically, you are not interviewing from 100+ spots. You are interviewing for the number of spots they have available based on who you are! It might be 1, 2 or 30.OHSU most likely has a checklist of the types of students they want to accept. X number of white traditional, x number of Latinos, x number of blacks, x number of another exotic race, x number of older, x number of military... It's not about the stats, extracurr or how your interview goes, it's about checking their checklist. They probably made a decision before your interview. I say that because there are people with way poorer stats than me but similar background that made it. Probably because they applied a bit earlier or got their app reviewed earlier or whatever. But since there might be like 2 spots available for someone like me and they were taken, then I won't matter. You can look at MSAR and see how their demographic stats are pretty similar from year to year.
That is absolutely not the case (and actually for much of what you said, would be illegal).OHSU most likely has a checklist of the types of students they want to accept.

Oh, friend. Your rationale is simply not there.It's blinded because at that point your stats don't matter, what matters is getting the profile they are looking for in their checklist.
Nothing illegal about this. I'm simply looking at their stats and making an observation based on experience. (I got accepted elsewhere so this doesn't change my life).
You can also see how they have been accepting way more women than men at a very similar rate in the last few years. Coincidence? No, that's what they are aiming for, there is a pattern.
If what you are saying was true, then there would not be any students dropping out, remediating/failing nor becoming bad doctors because the admission committee does such a great job at filtering that out.
try mid november haha!Has anyone who interviewed first week of December heard anything yet? Still no decision after 13 weeks and I'm sooo nervous haha
Try early September loltry mid november haha!
