2014-2015 University of California - Davis Application Thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Pre-II rejection. Last year I got an interview, this year nothing! Opposite of most schools ohhhh well. Good luck to all else!
 
Also rejected. Good luck to everyone still in the running!
 
Also out of the running. Didn't matter anyway as I already know where I am attending this fall and I would not have changed my mind to go here anyway. Best wishes to everyone!
 
I'm supposing that everyone who interviewed got the financial aid email, right? (trying to not get false hopes up)

Wasn't clear from the responses to this question if the financial aid email was something everyone who interviewed received, or only those waitlisted/accepted?

I think it's sent to everyone who interviewed.
I was interviewed (and wait-listed) and didn't get a financial aid email.

I hope this isn't a bad omen since UCD is my top choice at this point :/
 
I've got waitlisted and got the email. Probably a glitch in the system
 
Does the applicant portal update once a decision is made, or will we have to hope for a phone call? I am at work and can't always get to my phone.

If you missed the phone call, you do get an email and the applicant portal is also updated should you be accepted. At least that's how it was for me in addition to the phone call I received.
 
Anybody from the group that interviewed on the 30th get a phone call yet?
 
Honored and excited to be interviewing here this upcoming week. Anyone have any tips they would like to share?
 
anyone on the WL sending a letter of intent or update? is that accepted? thank you 🙂
 
I can't believe it has only been three days since the interview date on Friday. These next two weeks are going to seem like an eternity. I still cannot gauge at all how the interview went 🙁

Ya, it was tough for me too. It was nice that they said we would find out by the end of the month though. Two weeks isn't that bad. I'm waiting for UCLA, and I interviewed in November.

Yeah I definitely think they had a fast turn around time. It is just so difficult to know how I did overall because I know there are things that I definitely could have done better but there are also things that I think went really well. Wow, that is pretty terrible. I think that two weeks is going to feel like an eternity I cant imagine waiting for months.
 
Was accepted this week. Interviewed 2/6. I have lower than average stats but I am very much a good fit for this incredible school. Davis has always been my dream school... so I'm feeling rather blessed. 🙂
I am not URM

Good luck to all those with interviews coming up, and to all those who are waiting for a decision! :biglove:

Congrats! When did you get the call?
 
Got an II today! was on interview waitlist

Does anyone have any insights they wanna share, please?

Congrats on the II!
As everyone else has mentioned - be yourself! Their interview is really set up to simply see who you are and how you will fit in to their school. The best favor you can do for yourself is to relax and free yourself from any inhibitions you may have.
This video was posted earlier in the thread and I watched it in its entirety prior to my Davis MMI. I found it helpful.

Best of luck to you!
 
So close to Friday. I have been anxiously waiting for this day to come!!!
 
Don't freak out if you don't hear back on a Friday, I got my call a day later on a Saturday.
Thanks for the heads up. You may have saved me 24 hours of freak out.
 
So it appears there is no deposit to pay if accepted?
 
Yeah I was also accepted Thursday and I haven't gotten any emails or anything in the mail... how do I make sure that UCD knows that I definitely want to save my spot?
 
I also had another question that I was hoping someone could answer... Does it affect your financial aid at one school if you added multiple schools to your Fafsa? Because I had added like six schools when I turned my Fafsa in but I definitelt want to go to UCD. I just don't want my financial aid here to be affected since I added quite a few other schools also.
