+1 OOS II today! Would love any and all advice <3

Congrats!! Can I ask when you submitted and what your stats were?

Congrats! Also could you please tell us if you have any ties to the state or are from nearby?

Sorry to answer so late! I have a 514 and 3.99. I submitted primaries as early as possible so I got verified right away and submitted their secondary in early August (I received it in early July but something crazy happened and I never saw it so I reached out to them and they resent it). I'm applying directly from undergrad so my hours arent insane but I think are very competitive for someone who hasn't been out of school!

Yes sorry! I have TONS of family in Kentucky and spent a lot of my childhood there (never lived there but visited all of the time). My grandma and great grandma were born and raised there, so I have extensive aunts, uncles, cousins, etc. there which I think really helped get my application through as OOS.

I have seen a lot of OOS UKCOM students who have ties like this, but for anyone OOS reading with zero ties, there is some anecdotal evidence from years ago of people OOS with zero ties getting in. That is to say, it's not entirely impossible with zero ties

I'm an M2, and there are plenty of OOS students with no ties whatsoever.

appreciate you for sharing this. giving me hope!
