got mine at 9:27!
For those who got rejected,
Did you guy receive the letter through email or smail mail???
I haven't heard from them. This is such a torture waiting !!!!!
UCSF!!!!! thanks for the wait, wish I made one list, but SD TAKE CARE!
is there a facebook group yet?
Hang in there guys! I know how terrible it feels to be stuck in that waiting period... plus more spots are going to open up as UCSF continues to make their acceptance offers. Stay positive... and don't let the uncertainty drive you crazy
anyone stuck between ucsd vs. ucsf. i thought i decided ucsd but now i'm rethinking about my decision? I love to hear everyone's different perspectives.
Anyone else torn between UCSD and USC? Any of you have any input? Aside from personal reasons, of course, are there things about either programs that attract you? I've done some research on my own, hoping to see what I missed.
Just got placed on the alternate list as well. Does anyone know whether UCSD and UCSF have already started exchanging applicant lists? I got UCSD's e-mail 3 business days after being admitted to UCSF, even though I interviewed at UCSD way back in January and would have expected to hear from them sooner. Perhaps UCSD automatically puts people on the waitlist if they've been admitted to UCSF, figuring that those students are probably going to UCSF anyway?

i was placed on the alternate list. looks like U DUB it is!
university of dublin?
Well since UCSD only accepts 60 students. They only can send a maximum of 60 acceptance letters out initially (just in case everyone accepted their offer, which of course would never happen). Why UCSD takes longer to hear a response than other Pharmacy schools is because they wait until ALL the interviews have been completed before they start evaluating everyones folder. UCSD said that it typically takes about 100 to 110 acceptance letters to fill their class. So I assume about 60 people are on an alternate list which is sorted by rank. People on that list will be admitted 1 by 1 as the initial 60 accepted students decline their acceptance letter. I could be mistaken but I believe everyone should have been notified by last Friday whether they were accepted, declined, or placed as an alternate.
according to new us world report 2012 just released today, ucsd ranks #23.

I chalk it up to me completely bombing the written portion. Accepted to UCSF so I'm not crying. After failing SD's written portion, I had a week to shape up for UCSF and practiced every day. It paid off. Congratulations to all, proud of going to a UC.
Yup. I sounded like a *****. Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever be dumber than the time I wrote that onsite essay. My brain turned on during the interview two hours later. I chalk it up to insomnia, traveling, studying, work and not preparing for the onsite essay. It requires practice.
There's a balance between extemporaneous and impromptu writing practices on these onsite essays. I failed at both by not preparing/practicing and not writing anything other than equations at all in the past year, respectively.
did anybody get a confirmation email from UCSD when you accepted their offer of admissions? i sent it in on last thursday but i haven't heard from them yet.
Welp, made it official today, toughest decision I've had to make in my entire life, but ultimately I believe it's the best! Looking forward to seeing you all in the Fall!
