Mellifluouselegance Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 For those of you who got rejected today, did you all apply earlier in the cycle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JessicaPortlandOR Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 I just want to echo others in acknowledging that so many of you receiving the unfortunate email recently are truly stellar candidates and I wish you all the best in your applications. I really appreciate you sharing your updates with us all - it makes the whole experience feel a little less lonely! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerry Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 WOW! The level of the people applying here is intimidating. If these are the guys getting rejected, the rest of you must all have papers published. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If these are the guys getting rejected, the rest of you must all have papers published. I've spoken with several admissions people and students from prior years. OHSU is VERY holistic in its approach, while some of the normal stats we discuss here are graded/weighted, they still approach each application with how they best fit/future success (and they do look at ALL applications). I do agree that they are looking for something very specific, so regardless of your high/low stats you can get accepted/rejected. I know that if your narratives (personal statement and supplemental questions) do not communicate your intentions, then it doesn't matter what your stats are. I applied last year with above average stats, but looking back at my personal statement and responses, they were terrible, plus I've gone through much more in that year. After working on them some time, it was only then that I felt like I actually have a shot. Although, I have only just reapplied a few weeks ago, so who knows what will happen Good luck to everyone regardless of the outcome!!! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is really a wake up call for rechecking those "copy and paste" personal statements to make them above and beyond, for them already being so effortless (this is in my case).

Guest mands Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 (edited) Seems like they are rejecting everyone before sending invites to interviews. it really makes this a very uneasy process, but yes, if someone can answer @mikedelta !! is it via email?
