checked portal and there was an update - fingers crossed i get off but ah!! better than nothing !!

Received email to check update on applicant portal. So bummed :(

Canadian applicant. No interview.

Invited for interview in early April

Ignore Status: I reached out to DCT via email to inquire about status as we head into late march but did not receive a response. Not sure exactly what it means, but if they did see it, but I would guess they prob haven't completely finalized the incoming class or that they will send out an email with official decisions at some point for those not offered a spot

Got an email for status update and was waitlisted. PI initials - SR

I was super nervous bc I heard they started accepting people last week, but looks like it’s being spaced out. For those still waiting, have hope! Acceptances will continue to roll out. My best wishes to everyone. Remember to be intentional about your grad cafe use. If it’s starting to make you even more anxious (like it did with me!), I suggesting creating some limits for yourself around your usage :) Best of luck everyone!!!

I ended up declining for several reasons. Apparently, it’s an unspoken rule that no one’s dissertation gets approved on the first try. it’s just expected that you’ll have to revise and resubmit. Also, if you fail comps, they don’t tell you right away. The funding situation is also not as solid as they make it seem. while they say everyone is fully funded, by the second year, only a handful of students actually get decent assistantships, it's different from your first year and some end up having to take out loans. On top of that, there’s supposedly an internal ranking system that determines who gets research opportunities, clinical placements, internal scholarships and funding and recommendations.

Domestic out-of-province applicant. Received email about status update to portal. Expected because no interview.

Plan to accept!

Canadian applicant. No interview.

Email to check portal, generic rejection letter

I've seen many insecure incompetents but I've never come across someone so deluded and desperate

*IGNORE STATUS* Has anyone heard back from OHSU after interviews? I know they said no communication means we’re still being considered, but they also stated decisions would be out by early March.
