However, a significant amount of admitted applicants declined their admissions offers. Post-acceptance surveys were conducted in the past few application cycles hoping to close this gap in admissions. The objectives of this study are to identify and analyze reasons admitted applicants decline OHSU SOM?s admissions offers and strategize tangible actions to improve acceptance to matriculation ratio. 000009255 540__ $$fCC BY 000009255 542__ $$fIn copyright - joint owners 000009255 650__ $$aEducation, Medical$$018223 000009255 650__ $$aSchools, Medical$$025775 000009255 650__ $$aEducation, Medical, Undergraduate$$018226 000009255 6531_ $$amedical school acceptance 000009255 6531_ $$amatriculation 000009255 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000009255 7001_ $$aSong, Yue$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000009255 7001_ $$aGuertin-Davis, Kathryn$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000009255 7001_ $$aCloutier, Robert$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000009255 711__ $$aResearch Week$$uOregon Health and Science University$$d2021 000009255 8564_ $$9be23c489-88de-4956-9b55-aba6ab095d09$$s76038$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/9255/files/Song-Yue-OHSU-ResearchWeek-2021.pdf 000009255 905__ $$a/rest/prod/kp/78/gh/00/kp78gh009 000009255 980__ $$aResearch Week
