I applied for PRIME and REACH as well, is it a bad sign if I haven't got an invite for regular MD?

One of my lab volunteers got an interview at Davis last week.

Me - nothing. 😔 UCs hate me so much.

Does Davis accept letters of interest pre-II? Haven't heard back from this school yet and it is my top choice so I'm starting to get worried.

i honestly dont think its a bad sign, before COVID, i went to one of their open houses and one of the students that had applied prime said he didnt hear anything back until like late march, so i think we're good?

On the website, they said : "Qualified applicants will be invited for a CHS interview between January and April"
The programs select applicants for a second interview after the SOM interview is done and then anytime between now to April, we'll hear back on a rolling basis

Also received an II this afternoon!! Did anyone email their photo directly to the admissions email or is the upload photo tab enough? My photo looks like it uploaded, but the invite email says: "Submit your photo via email to the application portal. Follow the instructions provided."

I uploaded my photo and that was enough to unlock the "schedule interview" tab. Congrats!

Did anybody have technical issues during their interview today? I swear to god, my site stopped working so early into the interview. I could not load the page where you're supposed to view the prompt. The admissions office said all that stuff about "download a new browser" etc. But the issue was not my computer. I had all the latest browsers and good internet access and everything. Everything worked except that one page. My MMI rater said I was the second person today who told her that I couldn't view the prompt. It was crazy.

My video wouldn't turn on for two stations! It got fixed when I logged out and logged back into the browser though

Did you report it to the admissions office? It seems like the admissions office might be under the impression that I'm the only one who had a technical issue.

were you not able to participate in sessions because of this?

I probably know the answer to this question, but: do you guys think sending an LOI is a bad idea if they say, "Please do not send any new information, transcripts, letters of recommendation, updates, or materials unless requested by the Office of Admissions" when you haven't even received an II? They didn't metion LOI. 😬😁🙃

I personally wouldn’t do it. That could suggest to AdComs that a person doesn’t know how to read and follow basic directions.
Refer to the following:

 
If I have a new mcat score, how do I let the administration know?
The school web page should state what the last MCAT date is that they will consider for this app cycle.
MCAT scores are automatically forwarded to your AMCAS account, if your “new score was soon enough according to the school’s cutoff they should see it if reviewing your app.

Does anybody have any tips for interviewing? Mine is coming up but I don't think I received details about whether it's MMI or traditional.

They have quite a bit of information on their secondary webpage. It's an MMI with 10 stations, two of which will be rest stations. They even have an example question/prompt.

MMI. Think of anecdotal responses. Don't just answer the question, relate prior experiences to justify your answer.

MMI. Be true to yourself. Whatever your answer is make sure it’s true to who you are. Good luck!

The MMI info video they sent out indicated it's actually 12 stations:
-7 scenario based
-2 traditional
-meet the dean
-2 true rest stations
