<p>No official thread for this program, so I thought I'd start one. I just got an interview via email for this program. Anyone know much about it? I'm interested in the fact that it's 8 years, but you can petition to shorten it to 7. Anyone know how successful people are in making it a 7 year program? Ohio State's med school is one of the best for sure and gives excellent residencies, so I'm definitely interested in the program.</p>
<p>^ yeah, I am also interested to know if it can be done in 3+4 years, and you can start med school after wrapping up undergrad in 3 years. Also, is it binding to attend OSU’s med school or are you free to apply to other med schools without losing the med school spot?</p>
<p>well there is the “Third-Year Option” where you petition, so you can make it 3+4, but i wonder how successful kids are in their petitions. are all approved or almost none approved?</p>
<p>yay! more MAP people! I got the email about an interview too… so nervous! What other combined programs did you apply to?</p>
<p>a lot ^^ but i got interviews for jefferson, case, ohio state, albany, and drexel</p>
<p>can you put your stats?</p>
<p>I didn’t get a case interview… got one for OSU and northwestern though
You have a lot of others, have you already had most of those interviews?
I’m worried that we wont find out if we got into MAP until really late april and then if we agree to go to osu, we wont get good housing!</p>
<p>i’m not really worried about the housing thing - sure it’d be nice to have great housing but it won’t make or break college for me. i have had my jeff and drexel interviews already</p>
<p>has anyone else in cc heard from Ohio State?</p>
<p>i met like 6 other people at the case interview (and that’s only 1/3 of their interview pool) who got ohio state interviews</p>
<p>Can anyone who got an interview call to osu post their stats?</p>
<p>i haven’t heard a yes or no from them…is that a bad sign? do they only contact you if they want an interview? or do they let you know either way? i’m getting kind of anxious…thanks a lot.</p>
<p>got into jefferson so not going to any more interviews 
including this one</p>
<p>congrats doctor2b!
does anyone know when osu notifies if you got in or not (how long after the interview)?
I’m wondering if it will be before May first since the interviews are in april?</p>
<p>it has to be April because even ohio state’s commitment date thing is May 1</p>
<p>So if I haven’t received an interview request by now, should I assume that I have been rejected?</p>
<p>congrats that is great</p>
<p>does anyone have any thoughts as to why the interviews are being held so late (other than the fact that the app was due in march)?</p>
<p>well they’re probably trying to weed out the people who would have said no to OSU once they got into an ivy.</p>
<p>^ or other programs</p>
