I'm going crazy here. Interviewed on 8/15, and haven't received an email telling me I'm wait listed, or a phone call from Dr. Sousa.

Is it possible, or likely that they sent everyone who was wait listed an email at the same time regardless of their interview date? If that's the case perhaps Dr. S is just a bit back logged on the list of people he needs to call?

WTF MAYN

yeah i interviewed on Oct 3. thought those would be comming today but might be tmr if they are still working on august
 
wonder if they are doing an interview today ... guess they didn't get to reach all of the august interviewers yet either
 
Received a pre-interview rejection today. Not from Cali though so not even surprised
 
rejection email post-interview today. interviewed 8/23. congrats to everyone that got in!
 
rejection today as well, post-interview
 
rejected as well! davis graduate. 3.95. 34 MCAT and my number 1 school. Turning on my boat to go to the Caribbean
 
Congratulations to all those who were accepted this week!!! Davis is a wonderful school and I hope to see you there next year. For those of you on the waitlist, keep your head up, Davis has been known to accept a good number of people from the waitlist. And for those of you who were rejected, keep your head up as well, its an arduous process and unfortunately, many good candidates are let go. Hopefully, you'll have plenty of other options to choose from. Also, it wouldn't be the end of the world if you didn't get accepted and had to reapply (coming from experience as a reapp here).

Any one have any questions, feel free to send me a PM or ask away on here.
 
Pre interview, pre supplementary application rejection... 3.78/34 MCAT

I'm in the same situation. I've been complete since mid-August...heard nothing.
California resident applying for SJV Prime.
How late are interviews being scheduled now?
 
Does anyone remember when they were able to sign up for the host program?

My interviews in about a week, and still haven't received an email. Wondering if I need to just book a hotel last minute.
 
Is davis open to in the area emails? I will be in the area around thanks giving and go to school on the east coast so I would love to save some travel money... I have been complete since early sept

bummer on the rejection. however that bit about the boat literally made me laugh out loud. Never heard it put that way.
 
Just received a secondary today! Yay! OOS, but I did part of my undergrad at UCD.
 
Because it was helpful for me to stalk SDN during the painful waiting game and see people's interview/acceptance dates, just thought I would post too.

Interviewed 10/10, Accepted 10/23. 3.85 GPA/37 MCAT, in-state CA resident.

Feels surreal, and good luck to everyone!!! 🙂

I didn't sign up for the host program but I remember receiving an email about it approximately a week before the interview day.

It's not guaranteed that you'll be matched up with a host so I'd suggest booking a hotel just incase. You can always cancel the reservation later. Just make sure the room is refundable.
 
Just got my secondary yesterday. It was delayed by a second set of test results, but it didn't hinder me getting a secondary so thank you UC Davis!!! Love the school and would be thrilled to stay in Cali.
 
I am confused about signing up for an interview date. I received an interview date 2 weeks ago, but the only date available is in March on my brother's birthday. I have read that UC Davis slowly opens up interview slots and that you should frequently check the website, but I'm worried that it has been a while and maybe no new ones will open up. Is anyone else in the same boat? Do you think I should keep on waiting it out? Thanks!!
 
Just got a call today, looks like I'll be joining all of you who decide to matriculate here! I look forward to meeting you all in person. For those of you still waiting, keep it up. The suspense will make that phone call so much more worth it.

Interviewed 10/17, accepted 10/31. HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Same here. Although, now there are no dates open. I was looking at the admissions process page, and it says they only interview till the end of February, I guess there were a lot of highly qualified applicants this application year.
 
Just finished my interview yesterday (10/31). It was a blast! The staff, students, and deans were all amazing and friendly. Definitely a refreshing experience 🙂

It was nice to meet everyone, and a special shoutout to Group D! Good luck to you all! 🙂

Keep checking back but at this point the earlier dates are probably all filled. I saw someone mention something about a waitlist for interview spots? I'm not sure, maybe it's a good idea to call the admissions office to confirm your options

They just opened interview dates in January.

Something seems odd here.
Davis states that interviews extend till late February, yet someone shared their interview date as March...
The fact that we're in early November, I find it hard to believe that all interviews have been booked for the cycle.

I had an amazing time at the interview too! It way, dare I say, LOTS OF FUN. I hope this translates to we did well and will get that phone call in 2-3 weeks?! I fell in love with Davis after the day. Best of luck to you too! 🙂

Well if last year is any indication, I got an II on Thanksgiving and scheduled for Valentine's Day. Supposedly this year is even more chock-full of good applicants, so take that as you will.
 
Hello all. First time poster. Lots of great info on here, don't know why I didn't get on SDN sooner! I was hoping someone could shed some light about interview scheduling. I submitted secondary in mid-August and received II early-September. I scheduled for a January interview because those were the only dates available. Is it normal for interview dates to be filled up until that far out from the II date? This should have struck me as odd at the time, but for some reason I didn't think about it until recently.

Btw, congrats to all those accepted! And for those still waiting for secondaries/II/interviews...may the med school gods bless us soon.

For those who got accepted, what time did you get the call? And if you were rejected post-interview, what time did your email come in? I'm going CRAZY waiting for some form of communication from them!!!
 
I also interviewed 10/17 and was accepted 10/31; Dean Souza called me at around 2:20pm. Didn't get any email or message about the acceptance via the UC Davis message system until the following Tuesday--don't know if rejections/waitlists went out at the same time as that or what. Hope that's helpful, and good luck!
