SDN Members don't see this ad. (About Ads)
They sent out a confirmation email yesterday with a link providing hotel and transformation information for those who are going to the interviews. For those wondering, I had sent my confirmation through snail mail.

The interview went well. They give an hour presentation about the school and then you begin interviews or writing your essay. Very casual prompt so enjoy! My interviewers were relaxed and made me feel comfortable, it was a great experience. Good luck to everyone!

My favorite part was the essay. So random, yet also a breath of fresh air. I also enjoyed talking to Jessica (a 4th year) and learning more about her views on the program. For my interview, I had a 2nd year and a Chem PhD. Luck of the draw? Or is it because my undergrad degree is Chem? Who knows. Anyway, it wasn't too bad at all. Typical interview questions.

I interviewed on 1/13 (first day), so maybe they're reviewing files starting from the first interview days.

did everyone get admissions? is this a trickle process? do i stand a chance if i interviewed with no acceptance or rejection? does UCSD consider reapplicants?

From talking to my friend who's a P1 at UCSD, the admission committee has only had one meeting so far. He was surprised that I got my admissions letter so soon, since he thought they were still reviewing files and would send them all out at once.

So it sounds like they're not done with the admissions decisions. My theory is that I got mine earlier since I did interview on the first day (1/13).

Did everyone else who got acceptances had their interview on the 13th? I was there that day as well and I haven't heard anything back at all.

Thank you so much! Actually I was really surprised that I received the email today, because I interviewed on the last day, 1/28.

Stats: GPA 3.6, several yrs exposure in various healthcare and non-healthcare settings (research, shadowing doctors and pharmacists, volunteering, and leadership positions)

Hang in there!!

Hmmm I wonder if they review applications by interview dates.
It seems as though those who have been accepted are from the same interview dates. Has anyone from jan. 14th receive an acceptance yet?

Does anyone know what UCSD's protocol is for sending out admissions offers and rejections? As in do they send out all acceptance emails first followed by rejections later or do they contact interviewed students with a yes/no in the order that they were interviewed? So far it seems like most of the people who have heard back interviewed either very early or very late, which is quite confusing.
