Is anyone else interviewing on April 20th? Is it for a waitlist position or possible acceptance?

 

[aquakiwi07]

LOVED UCI, everything was so wonderful!! praying that I get in 😍

 

[coffeekid15]

Has there been any word on whether or not UCI is having a second look and when that might be?

They call it revisit day. I believe it's on May 4th.

proud to say that class of 2012 absolutely crushed the match today! So fun to be apart of the celebration! Match list will probably come out next week or so.

I don't think it is for a waitlist position, it could be for the MD/PRIME LC program. I was offered an interview in December but the only open day available for PRIME interviews was in April, I believe there are a couple of interview dates in April. The lady in admissions was very nice and offered to let me know if their January interview date opened up.

while match lists are cool/exciting to look at it I would recommend using any school's match list as a defining factor in your decision to attend!

Thanks for the info. I do know that I will be interviewing for the PRIME program. I tried moving the date up but was told I needed to keep the date for that interview.

Yes, I am keeping my interview date in April as well 🙂

 

[centraldogma]

Hope this hasnt been asked before, but does anyone know how much weight the interview carries?

ehh, of course when they make final decisions they are going to reexamine your entire application, but the interview matters a lot!

 

[Domestic]

Does anyone know if there are anymore non-PRIME interview dates in April?

 

[mtenor]

I interviewed 3/2 and was just put on the alternate list. Does this mean I won't hear anything until May, after everyone has decided if they are going to go or not? There is no information on the alternate list on my status page, so I was wondering if anyone else knows. I love UCI, and am still keeping my fingers crossed. Thanks!

Hey guys, I interned at the medical school a couple years ago as an undergrad and plan on applying as a medical student in June (I'm out of state so I know my chances are slim, but it's worth a shot). Anyways I'm confused with their requirements. On their admissions page it says "8 semester of physics" and "6 semesters of math" (they also list quarters) is that for real?? Four years (8 semesters of physics) and 3 years (6 semesters of math) or am I misinterpreting it?

 

[coffeekid15]

Do any current students who are in the know have an idea when the next committee meeting is?

It says semester/quarter UNITS. For the quarter system, classes were typically 4 units each quarter, meaning a total of 16 quarter units for the Biology requirement = 4 classes of 4 unit classes (typically 3 quarters of biology lecture, plus one quarter of biology lab) or however your school splits itup

 

[Med22]

Does anyone know the approximate start and end time for the revisit day?

 

[KeepOnSwimmin]

Does anyone know if we need to send in new transcripts through AMCAS or can we just send them straight to the Admissions Office?

 

[haloschief]

Admissions committee meeting is tomorrow

 

[centraldogma]

Admissions committee meeting is tomorrow

So calls will be going out this weekend?

 

[aquakiwi07]

So calls will be going out this weekend?

Do they usually call over the weekend?

 

[centraldogma]

Do they usually call over the weekend?

edit: they seem to go out on any day of the week

 

[Magic 2688]

Does anyone know where to find the PRIME-LC academic calendar for this past year?

 

[chubchub57]

Any news from the latest adcom meeting??

 

[zoner]

They call it revisit day. I believe it's on May 4th.

What does that mean?

 

[VNguyen820]

edit: they seem to go out on any day of the week

Does this mean you've heard back from them? 🙂

 

[centraldogma]

Does this mean you've heard back from them? 🙂

No I haven't heard back.

I originally said they seem to go out on weekends but looking at older posts in the thread it looks like they go out on any day of the week.

Anyone know what's the hold up? I though the committee meeting was last week?

 

[Magic 2688]

Interview this Friday with PRIME!!

 

[Med1415]

I interviewed mid March and I checked my online portal and my status had changed (to WL). I didn't receive an email or anything.

 

[mmmpotatoes]

Sorry to hear that. I interviewed mid-March and I have no status change.

 

[DISCOSTEW]

[centraldogma]

I interviewed mid March and I checked my online portal and my status had changed (to WL). I didn't receive an email or anything.

I assume by mid March you interviewed on 3/14?

That's when I interviewed and I haven't received any info.

 

[coffeekid15]

I hope we get some news soon!! Revisit is right around the corner...

 

[centraldogma]

Pretty sure since they have waited this long they are going to compare the applicants from 3/14 and 4/20 at the same time.

 

[VNguyen820]

Aww would they do that? I thought there was a committee meeting on 4/4, and at least one applicant got an answer already. ):

So anxious!!

I'm just assuming. My status has yet to change either way so I figured no one from 3/14 interview had heard. I guess I was wrong.

 

[chubchub57]

Just got the call from Dr. Peterson! Interviewed 3/14. Good luck to the rest of you!!
