Ooof, just talk to UC Davis

dopaminesurge · Nov 30, 2006

That 4-6 week figure quoted to me is now extended to "first week of January at the earliest."
Apparently they're moving, and the committees don't start meeting until late December. Buuuuuummer.

G'bless the UCs' unfaltering efficiency.

how was Davis when you visited? I am debating going or not for an interview in Jan.

I expected to be neutral, and I genuinely liked it. My interviewer blew me out of the water. You should go. It's a short drive for us.

fugazism · Nov 30, 2006

yeah. in state tuition and a mess of student run clinics are both cool
plus Davis has Rock It! at the Graduate. which is almost as epic as Leisure at Annie's Social Club.

Indeed. Why doesn't Berkeley have a med school, man? We should get on that.

(A 5 to 9 will serve the 9 to 5.)

Well they do have the JMP MS/MD with UCSF where you can do 3 years at Cal and then 2 at UCSF.

fugazism · Nov 30, 2006

and it would never happen...isn't berkeley just full of those "hippies" who don't believe in "western medicine" ?

MissTreesh · Nov 30, 2006

When did your apps got completed? I love Davis and am hoping to get an interview invite, but it may not happen seeing it's getting pretty late.

My interview was Oct. 4. I don't really remember when I was complete. It may in in my mdapps.

Cuz UCSF used to be UCB's medical school and for a variety of reasons neither wanted to move closer to the other and so ended up splitting in the 50's.

Be patient. Much of the interviewing has been slowed down this year with the move of the whole medical school to Sacramento. So it is definitely not too late.

Davis is in cow country. Mooooooooooo.

haha, just hating because as an east coaster, i have no chance at any of these da**ed instate loving UC schools.

Awww... This story makes me feel sad inside. Do you think they still have feelings for each other? 😉

And thank goodness we're moving! My derierre can't take much more of these crappy orange chairs in Tupper 2428. 🙁

And besides, I know someone who interviewed in march last year and got accepted. So it can't be too late for an interview. At least that's what I'm hoping for because I would give anything for a little Davis love.

Seriously, I am happy for you guys. At least you'll get one semester without breaking your back in there. I can't wait to see the new building next week... if they let us out to go to the opening that is 🙂

And yes, Davis is notorious for interviewing until late in the cycle. I would not be surprised if it goes even later this year given the move and pushing much of the interviewing back.

I interviewed in mid-October and when the 4-6 week deadline came and went, I called Terri at Davis and she told me that the decisions for December's Adcom meeting would be sent out before the New Year...

Nice! Any idea by what method? (here's praying for email - I'll be out of the country 21-31 and very neurotic about it otherwise... I really liked Davis)

kbear12 · Dec 19, 2006

ooo can anyone confirm this?? i'm trying not to get my hopes up, but news before the new year would be great. I interviewed in October as well.

Dopamine, I'm almost positive Terri said all acceptances are by phone. Everything else (waitlist, hold, reject) is done by e-mail.

Don't worry, they love you.

deleted128318 · Dec 19, 2006

I didn't ask her how we would be notified... she sounded a little annoyed to be talking to me (almost like she had been waiting on me to make a 4-6 week deadline that I had committed to) so I didn't pester her. Funny how that works.

I do vaguely remember my interviewer saying something about a phone call though...

Hopefully the information I got was right, Davis is really high on my list and waiting is gonna drive me to a quart-a-day whiskey habit.

kbear12 · Dec 19, 2006

I hope you're right, Cal06!!! Terri definitely told my group that acceptances were phone calls. So i REALLY hope we get calls in the next few weeks.

Davis is definitely one of my top choices as well... i LOVED it! good luck to us!!

nairay · Dec 19, 2006

Good luck everyone! Just a note, phone calls can be from admissions or your student interviewer too, so watch out for weird unknown numbers if you have caller ID.

And I'd highly recommend coming back and looking at the new building since it's open now.

calcox · Dec 19, 2006

As if my feelings of anticipation weren't already boiling over!

dopaminesurge · Dec 20, 2006

Hmm, Any thoughts on whether it will be this week or next? Wouldn't they be closed next week?

yeah, i would imagine they are closed next week. but i'm also trying not to expect anything this week. Davis seems to take their time and I know they are in the midst of their move, so that may delay things even more. i would really like news before the end of the new year (has anyone confirmed this recently with Terri though??) ugh. please, Davis, just let us know already!

deleted128318 · Dec 20, 2006

They're closed Monday and Tuesday.

Praying they are going to give me something to celebrate about for New Year's...

Thanks for the info, Cal06. I'm totally with you. just holdin' my breath!

calcox · Dec 21, 2006

How's about a pact (I'm probably jinxing myself even suggesting this). For peace-of-mind's sake, how about as soon as someone hears from Davis, they post it to the forum. Don't worry about bragging, I think everyone on egg shells would appreciate the knowledge that the decision is on its way.

Who's in?

kbear12 · Dec 21, 2006

i'll try to post any news

deleted128318 · Dec 21, 2006

I'm in.

CalGirl07 · Dec 22, 2006

They started calling today! I got the phone call earlier this morning. =)

Congrats! Anyone else? I left my phone in the locker on the peds ward today and I kept going to the locker to check it over and over again...

I'll keep my fingers crossed for next week. Thank you so much for the heads up. Good to know that some word should be coming soon.

cgscribe · Dec 22, 2006

For anybody getting in, when did you interview? Congrats!

kbear12 · Dec 27, 2006

good luck bump. maybe the office is open today?? i interviewed late oct. and haven't heard anything yet.

yabbadabbadoo · Dec 27, 2006

wow so two people already got acceptances as early as 12-22? any other news?

i think only one person posting above said they got in. the other person was just saying that they would post any news. Has anyone else heard anything? i got nervous this morning when Terri sent that email about the move to Sacramento and the new address!

I am on pins and needles too! No word yet. I know what you mean about the email this morning. I read it and thought, I hope you received my AMCAS since I've already interviewed.

I interviewed in mid-October, I wonder if the one acceptance was for an earlier interview? I tell you, its like when you are first trying to catch someone's eye, Davis is playing hard-to-get and its making me want a spot at their school even more!

cgscribe · Dec 28, 2006

I was on 10/30, haven't heard anything yet. Hoping for good news soon! I'm guessing it'll pick up more after New Year's.

But they are opening up a new education building by the hospital to bring all 4 years of students together. The Grad would be a 20 minute drive down I-80.

Looks like New Years isn't happening...

Come find me on New Years and I will buy you a drink to make it up to you. I'll be that guy at the bar that didn't get into Davis yet.

calcox · Jan 4, 2007

I posted this in another thread, but even though its not great news, I have to stay true to the pact:

"Your application has been reviewed by the Admissions Committee and has been held for further consideration. A final decision on your application will be made after all applicants being considered for admission have been reviewed.

At that time you will be informed whether you have been accepted to the class, placed on the waiting list or not accepted."

Sucks.
