Hi there! I'm not sure if things have changed since I applied but I believe at that time you had to have your degree conferred to you by December 31st of the application year. So if you're applying this upcoming cycle, you would have to have it conferred by December of this year in order for the 0.2 to be applied. This may have changed, so I would check the website and/or email NOSM admissions, but that was my understanding. Best of luck!

Hi everyone! Current NOSM student here. I just wanted to try and ease some of the anxiety that I know many of you are experiencing right now. I don't recall there being any sort of indication of acceptance/rejection on OMSAS at midnight. I definitely had to wait for my email in the morning. So unless something has changed since I applied, don't get too worked up if nothing changes on your OMSAS tonight. I hope you are all able to get some sleep tonight. Regardless of what email you receive tomorrow, it will be a day full of emotion. If you don't get the news you're hoping for and know that this is the path for you, don't give up.

Decision (will you accept your offer)? YES Campus: East Fourth times a charm... I am slightly in shock and absolutely over the moon. I can empathize with those of you who did not receive offers; there were many times when I wasn't sure if this day would come. Keep trying and keep improving yourself. It WILL pay off one day I will keep my fingers crossed for those of you on the waitlist (especially you, rural_roots).
