Thanks @Autumn Water for creating this thread! Still waiting for the secondary here as well. Glad to hear I am not the only one. Verified on July 14th.
 
I think they always run late. A friend of mine was admitted to this program last year after taking the MCAT around Sept. 11th.
Fingers crossed
 
1. What is the most important health care issue confronting disadvantaged communities and what would be your first steps to address this issue?

2. In what way will graduating from the UCLA PRIME program enhance your career in health care or health services for the disadvantaged communities?

3. Describe the manner in which your experiences demonstrate your understanding of, and commitment to, underserved communities.

4. What are your greatest strengths and your greatest challenges as you approach medical school?
 
Received secondary today via the applicant portal. I just randomly checked my status and it was there.

However, I haven't received the email confirming my secondary.

Should I email them?

I would not worry about it. It took about a week from the date on the status page to receive the email with the attached supplemental form.

UCLA PRIME waits until all the supplemental applications are in before they begin the review process. I called to get this information. Good Luck with the app!

Thanks for the info!

Good luck to everyone 🙂
 
When do they send out rejections? I sent my verified AMCAS pretty late 10/15 but havent heard anything yet.
 
Got an email this morning that they are starting review and interview invites will be extended until Dec. 15th. Good luck to everyone!
 
has anyone received an interview yet; since it's now December 9th?
 
Congrats to you all who received an interview invite today! I was just wondering: are interview invites given out in batches? Did the "under review" emails of those who received an interview invite today say that you'd hear back by 12/9?

I am not too sure if they send them out in batches. The email that I received originally confirming my secondary application said that all interview invites will be sent by 12/15. Don't lose hope if you haven't received one yet!! Fingers crossed for everyone else!

Thanks a lot and congrats again! 🙂
 
anyone else here back? those who haven't heard have 4 days left to hear back. ahh super nervous!
 
waitlisted for interview. i looked on last year's thread and can't seem to figure out whether this is a death sentence and basically a rejection or whether there is movement from the waitlist to the interview list?


also, wondering whether they waitlist everyone who they didn't select to interview, instead of rejecting anyone?

Yeah, no-pre workout needed. I go to the gym at night and my energy level was still high.
 
Does anyone know when PRIME will send out acceptances?

Hey! They were pretty confident about having their decisions made by February 14th. As far as notification goes, they said soon after, so maybe sometime this week. No definitive date was given though in terms of when acceptances would be sent out. They just mentioned that it was okay to contact them with an e-mail if we didn't hear back after March 1st. Good luck to everyone! This program is awesome.

They started making calls last Thursday, so it's possible they're still making calls this week. It's always a good idea to send a polite e-mail to the program and ask. They're really helpful and pretty transparent about things. The waiting game can be torture sometimes. Best of luck!!!

Thank you again for your response and Congratulations on your acceptance!
 
@montyman Hey no worries. I found myself on this site a lot following a couple of threads and found a lot of helpful tips. I hope your wait isn't much longer. I also hope you end up matriculating at a school that you really love and that shows a lot of love back! (financial aid, support, positive vibes, etc.)

Thanks a lot! I appreciate it. Still hasn't really hit me, but I'm sure it will as decision day approaches.
 
All the acceptances were made via phone call already.

I got an email reply yesterday stating such because I was wondering where they were at with those.

Here's to the waitlist.

To the waitlist. 🙁
 
montyman said:
I believe so. I got the waitlist e-mail today and it says "In previous years we have taken 4-7 students from the waitlist." Good luck to everyone on the waitlist!
Click to expand...

Ah, OK. I agree, best of luck to everyone and congrats to those who were accepted!
 
Has anyone heard of any movement on the waitlist or is more likely to happen near the end of April?
 
@montyman Hey, it might not happen until near the end of April. Students may want to attend second look and make their decision soon after before the deadline.
