should I even apply as OOS?

OHSU is not OOS friendly unless you meet the following "preferences":

-Resident of oregon

-Non-resident w/ oregon heritage (attended OR colege, graduated from a OR HS, parents live in OR)

-MD/PHD or MD/MPH

-"Superior" achievements

If you are applying OOS with no ties, I would recommend applying to their MD/MPH if you are qualified, as they're not at all OOS-friendly. The superior achievements is very ambiguous and OHSU doesn't care about 520/4.0s so I'm not sure what they're looking for there.

Are you from OR? I'm OOS but applied based on being from an extremely rural state and growing up in poverty along with being a member of a Special Operations unit in the military. Do you believe this would qualify as "superior achievement in leadership?"

I'm classified as Oregon Hertiage! And yes, you should absolutely apply, OHSU highly values non-trad students and "Applicants with a demonstrated ability to overcome adversity and/or applicants who have personally experienced inequities within the healthcare system." So be sure to fill out the inequities section!

Thank you for your service and good luck with your application.

soooo they would like for us to redo our works/activities section too?

“Superior” I’m guessing would be special ops, D1/olympic athlete, PHD or extreme research production.

I think if money is tight, or you are concerned about the time this secondary will take, its reasonable to send an email asking for clarification.

IDK how much these schools are valuing D1 athlete anymore bc this 519/D1 football player is not getting much love lol
