See you Thursday!
Ahhh were you there last Thursday? If so, best of luck as we start the wait! 🙂
See you Thursday!
Got this too. Yeah I think it's a rejection if we haven't interviewed. Sad. 🙁
does anyone else have everything blank on the application status page except for letter of recs and secondaries?
+1
I called admissions today
The lady said
They should finish up by the next 2 weeks
So I'm guessing for all of us waiting for ii
We shall hear back soon

I think that means they haven't invited you for an interview...
Are they finishing up with interviews? Or finishing up with selecting their new class?
(clearly I'm antsy like a 5 year old on time-out)

Just got interview!! Whoopiiiie 🙂

I just sent it to their general email, but then again, I haven't gotten a confirmation yet. I'll tell you if I do.
+1 I sent an update to [email protected] in late January, but didn't get a response. I'm hoping they got it!
That might be your issue, then...I sent my update to [email protected] and got a response the next day.

Was it a major update? Perhaps they only respond to you if its a major update...

It was an update about a publication, so idk. I suspect that the person who gets the email just downloads the file and adds it to your application without looking at it. The Adcom probably reads it at a later point in time. In which case, I'd assume the person dealing with the emails would just respond to all of them without differentiating between the type of update. But that's all speculation, of course!
Sounds about right. I had also called Admissions to see if there was a method of communication that they preferred, and they told me that (if I were to e-mail it), I should send it to the somadmiss address. Keep me updated on how it works out for you!![]()
I got an "out of the office" response from the somadmiss address that reads: "Thank you for your inquiry about the UCLA School of Medicine admissions process. You will receive a personal response within a couple of days." So, looks like that's the one! Thanks for letting me know. 👍
Does anyone know if they are still sending IIs until the end of this week or did they stop last Friday?
I only interviewed in early January and I am already dying to hear a decision. I can't imagine how it must be for those that interviewed back in October/November. I already knew to expect UCLA to be the last to release decisions (of the rolling schools at least) but I want to go here SO. BAD. - Let's hope March 1st is the special day, instead of march 15th.
to all!
From what i understood when i called, the mmi score plays a part in determining how early you hear back, but it seems that those who interviewed in oct/nov will hear first
think we will hear back any earlier than last year's applicants?
Lol as long as they stop interviewing tomorrow like they said, then im guessing we will hear back slightly earlier
I thought they will be interviewing through march
Yesterday I was told they are still sending out iis
The only definitive thing very recently at my interview was that it was emphasized many times that they will only be interviewing 700 people in which they will offer 240 acceptances.
Just wondering, who told you those numbers? I thought they only accept ~124? or is that combined with the other programs i.e. Charles Drew? if so, the total number must be wrong because I was told on interview day that David Geffen interviews 660, and I know Charles Drew interviews ~200, if you add the UCR/UCLA and Prime program, it is probably close to a total of 1000.

My guess is that the class size is 124, meaning they accept roughly double that in total (through initial acceptances and wait-list movement)
This sort of runs counter to their statement (from admissions people and students) that there is a great deal of waitlist movement, unless they aggressively reject post-interview. In any case, 700 interviewees is a lot.
Theres quite a bit of waitlist movement believe me. I personally know ~15 people who got in the week before orientation who are in my class right now.
At my interview a few weeks ago, we were told that the 240 acceptances were handed out pre-waitlist, and that 15% of everyone on the waitlist were eventually accepted
I was really curious about the bolded (I'm not very optimistic lol). Thanks for sharing!
Haha no problem. But seeing as the adcoms have been telling people different things, not so sure how reliable that statement is.
