Would anyone rejected be willing to share their stats as well if theyre in-state by chance 

im in state, haven’t heard anything yet.

I am in-state and received my rejection yesterday too. I was a little surprised since I interviewed and was waitlisted last year. 
Last cycle, I wasn’t invited to interview until late September and interview was early October. 

Stats:

Cumulative GPA 3.5, Science 3.3

PCE 7,000+ as a CNA and Endoscopy Technician plus lots of other healthcare experience in mental health settings 

Volunteer 200+ mostly at a free clinic and domestic violence shelter 

Shadow 60 hours in many settings

sGPA: 3.42

5000+ PCE in various settings outpatient and inpatient CNA and at OHSU too

Just received an interview via email! There is 3 in person sessions available and 4 online ones. You choose top 5. I am so incredibly blessed and lucky to receive an invite, omg 😞 

Congrats!! Thanks for the info 😊 I didn't get my confirmation email until mid July, so probably won't hear back for a while.. but glad to hear they're sending out invites!

I received an interview invitation via email this Friday! Verified 6/15 

I am an out-of-state applicant but OHSU is my top choice! I am hoping to interview in person! I do not have super great stats, but I worked so hard on my essays for OHSU, and I really think that helped me get an interview! 

cGPA: 3.55 

sGPA: 3.3 

Patient care hours: ~2500 EMT, Doula, Cardiology MA 

Healthcare Experience: I think around 300 but I can't remember 

Shadowing: 60 with surgical PAs and 60 with a cardiologist

Anyone know what questions were asked last year? Or this year?

Interviewed last year and it was MMI style with about 8 different small interviews with one interviewer in each. One was a role play scenario, one was group activity, and the others were all one question or so each. It wasn't really traditional questions.
