is it 800 characters with or without spaces
I have not yet taken a full year of math, but am taking my final semester of it this semester (starting Monday). So should I click "no" because I haven't completed it yet, or "yes" because I'm in the process of completing it?
So have there been any subsequent batches yet?? Has there only been ONE batch of UCLA secondaries? .... as in, everyone who has gotten their secondary, has gotten it on the same day?
I haven't yet gotten a secondary, but my app was received after that first batch day, on Aug 2.
There is no in state tuition, but *everyone* pays ~$20,000 in "fees." OOSers pay their 13k tuition on top of that.Legend

They received all of my LOR's, now I guess it's just another waiting game grrrr....and hey is there a typo in the MSAR or is the tuition free for Cali residents and only $12,245 for non-residents...seems like a typo lol, although the non-residents fees are $20,576. Not sure what to make of that...
anyone got a secondary recently?
I am also wondering if they are sending out secondaries in batches or if it's more sporadic. I've been waiting on UCLA since that first batch. I wish my alma mater would show me some love already.
nice username.
What's a little disconcerting is that friends of mine who got verified after me already have received a UCLA secondary.....what's up with that?
Ahaha, yeah - I'm still waiting on that UCLA secondary - my applicant status page is blank and they never gave me word that they received my AMCAS, although it was verified on July 21st and UCLA PRIME gave me such an e-mail on July 22nd.

Same here. I think it's weird I never got that acknowledgment email...I go here too 🙁 Sad. I am applying MD/MPH...do you think that plays a factor? Or is it just my crappy app...
Probably your crappy app, might as well give up.
Thanks you're a sweetheart 🙄
i left it blank...
Ahaha, I'm just wondering why it's taking so freaking long, heh.
i actually wrote stuff and checked the box. I hope the adcom don't laugh at me..
I wrote about having to change major from engineering to biology so that I could graduate in 3 yrs, due to a personal situation that I won't elaborate on SDN. and then I went on to say that the situation was resolved and I'm on back on 4 yrs, but I was glad I took the precaution etc.
I did not use it to blame my 3.0 soph GPA, so hopefully adcoms will be understanding
Not to sound overly confident, but I actually have a lot of confidence in my AMCAS primary and other schools' secondary applications, considering how much effort and thought I put into my essays, stats, and reasons for being a physician.
So I'm pretty hopeful about receiving a UCLA secondary (as I've received one from all the other UCs and non-CA schools that screen before giving a secondary). Ahaha, I'm just wondering why it's taking so freaking long, heh.
Who knows - maybe I got screened out. That's fine, considering how unpredictable this application process is.
Cheers!
Same here...I'm getting more depressed as each day goes by and I don't see that email for the secondary in my inbox. :cry: It doesn't seem like they've sent another large batch of secondaries so I guess that's some consolation. Just give me a freakin' secondary already.
I have a theory, not sure about it though. So I noticed that many people with lower scores than me that turned in their primary after me have already received the UCLA secondary, except none of them (at least that I have seen, maybe I am wrong) went to UCLA for undergrad. I wonder if there is a different sub-committee for UCLA students (or a "UCLA + similar schools" ) and since there are so many UCLA applicants that the sub-committee is really backed up? My friend, who also has good scores but has not yet received a secondary called today and he was told they haven't even got to screening his application yet, even though he was verified in late July, he is from UCLA. This theory only holds for people who don't have really high scores who get the automatic secondary though.
I am not sure how it works, I thought this was a possibility for an explanation of why it is taking so long for some of us. Anyone else have any idea?

I also just got the secondary, UCLA student, verified early (I thought I was rejected already!!). There are quite a few UCLA undergrad students in the Geffen Class every year so I doubt that they discriminate against them...although I'm not sure if they favor them. Who knows...but from what I've gathered, UCLA undergrad is well represented in the SOM Class
I just sent in 6 LORs - the Adcomm person I talked to said they really don't mind if you send one or two extras.
I probably should have gotten her name and wrote down when I talked to her and everything, but eh - I sent all of them off anyways.
I did the same thing with UCSF, but at least with UCSF I was able to include the e-mail saying I could do so in the secondary packet I mailed them.
