Finally got a secondary today! hang in there those of you who haven't gotten it yet.
Awesome--those of you getting secondaries, are you OOS?
Stats and dates?Got a secondary recently. OOS.
Does anyone have any idea about the proportion of people they interview/reject post-secondary?
I remember seeing somewhere that they receive ~5,000 applicants and send secondaries to ~1,500. You could probably check the MSAR for number of interviews/acceptances. However, I could be totally wrong I don't know where I saw these numbers or why I'm so sure it's associated with UCSF and not some other school so take it with a grain of salt
Stats and dates?
You're right. This is from the FAQ on the school's page:
http://medschool.ucsf.edu/admissions/faqs/#secondaryapplications
Secondaries to about 1500 students, and interviews to about 500 students. Yikes!
Does anyone know/presume that UCSF adcoms will read PRIME-US essays? or will they get separated and considered completely separate? In other words, does writing prime essays, legitimately, influence your chances for an interview/acceptance for the MD program?
I do know the PRIME process itself, that if you are accepted to the MD program, THEN they screen for PRIME interviews in march-may...
Also, what do you think about a short first essay, like 150 words (the optional activities one)?
Submitted! Lets see who can tell me that those PRIME essays were not a beast! This one took me ALL day yesterday to write...
Hopefully they get read by the ADCOMS

For you all that got secondaries, did you get it the same time/day you got the application received email? I ask because when I got the secondary last year they came the same day, and this year I only got the received email today.
Got mine together
i got it on the same day as well. In state
Ahhh I feel like they're going down the list GPA-wise and handing out invites...my GPA's lower than everyone else here who's gotten an invite (better MCAT though!) I got the AMCAS received email last week and I've been refreshing the status page like crazy...starting to worry!
that's encouraging calbear! I have similar stats. Thanks for posting.

Not true! My GPA is really strong while my MCAT score is not quite as impressive, and it took a while for me to get my secondary.
I was wondering the same thing. As of right now, I'm not planning on adding anythingSwartzlehman said:Got the secondary! Yeahhhhhhhhh, anyone putting anything down for the additional comments section??
Secondary this morning! I got the AMCAS complete email on 7/10.
Congratulations!
Out of curiosity and if you don't mind me asking, do you mean you got the 'AMCAS Verified' email from the AMCAS service or the UCSF 'AMCAS Received' email when you say you were complete on 7/10?
Thanks!
