Oct 31st was the first date that popped up for me. didnt wanna risk getting a later date so I just took it--anyone else interviewing on Halloween?
 
Hey guys! For those with II but no date set, they just posted some up! I saw 10/24 and 10/31 open.

Do you think you'll get bonus points if you give out candies or dress up in a costume? =P

It wouldn't hurt to try right?! I would applaud an interviewer if he dressed up.

Does anyone know how to sign up for the Host program? or where to find info on it?

I am not sure if I am allowed to share details of my interview day (and they may change it this year)... but it's supposed to be a group talk (rather than interview) with the Dean, and my best advice for you is NOT TO PREPARE FOR IT!

Completely agree. Its easy to tell who had canned answers and who had real answers during the dean discussion. Perhaps the people with canned answers got in elsewhere, but I don't see them here.
 
II received today! Complete mid-July, IS, LizzyM 70+. DON'T GIVE UP HOPE PEOPLE.

Also, this is probably because of the adrenaline that I can't figure this out, but how do I sign up for an interview? I clicked the link in the email but I don't see any dates available.

hi guys i'm a tad confused. uc davis says just keep checking for later interview spots that open up? do you guys know how often spots open? there don't seem to be any spots open right now.
 
@manofmen I think the office of admissions needs to manually upload open interview dates, so they tend to trickle in. I saw Nov 14 as the earliest slot open at around 11am pacific today, and Doc4Underserved saw Oct 24 and 31 open before that. Stalk the site!! Good luck everyone.
 
Verified 8/25 and received secondary today. Do all applicants get secondaries from Davis? Thanks
 
Once you select an interview date, are you allowed to change it?

I don't think so. I couldn't figure out a way to do it on the portal.

Damn it. I was too excited about getting the II in the first place to think this through.

Could anyone who has interviewed this year speak to the logistics of the optional student-run clinic tour on Saturday? I believe someone said earlier starts at 8 am and lasts approx an hour, but I wanted to confirm. Thanks in advance!

Yea I see only December. Davis runs through February, so I'm hoping December isn't a late interview date. We'd probably be middle of the pack?

I hope so! I guess it's good to be in the middle. Also it won't be blisteringly hot in December, so that's nice! Are you interviewing on 12/5 as well?
 
no i'll be the week after. and yea good to know it won't be burning hot haha 🙂 davis can get warm.
 
II yesterday! Such an amazing surprise! Kind of felt like this:

Just a note for everyone still waiting out there, this was my first interview invite and I had begun losing hope after seeing people complete way after me getting interviews. I figured that I had been passed up. This process is unpredictable, so if you haven't heard anything yet, just hang in there!!🙂

Congratulations! 😀 Nothing better than the first II; hope this is one of many, many more! Enjoy your time in Sacramento. (And thank you for giving hope to us mid July-ers). 😉

By the way, that gif is pure gold.

Congrats! I was in the same boat. Complete mid-July but didn't get the II til a few days ago. This process is unpredictable but we just have to be patient and not give up hope 🙂. What day are you interviewing?

Hi, does anyone here have a specific reason for attending Davis? I'm a california native and I had always looked forward to attending here. I recently received my interview and thought about why I really wanted attend in the first place for such a long time.

I have several professional and personal ones but from what I can tell they aren't necessarily as compelling as I would like to be. Is there anyone who have a better understanding of UC davis who can perhaps tell me a little bit more about davis? Please message me if you have any experience with uc Davis. thank you and good luck to everyone! (my lizzy M is only around like 70 but was interviewed to uc davis, uci, ucsd so far and secondaries for sf, la, ucr (waiting till they come out so don't discourage!)
 
Hey all, do you think it's too late to submit my primary here?

Its not late for Davis, they interview until the end of Feb and usually go through secondaries within 2-3 weeks so if you submit now, you will have a real chance.

Thank you for your response!
 
So how far is Davis from the nearest airport?

Has anyone heard about the host program yet?
 
Sacramento Intl Airport is about a 15 minute drive from UCDMC, where the med school is.
 
Also, I'm wondering.. my secondary was complete on 8/19, and I keep reading about people's quick II, anyone think that the turnaround might be slow because there are no interview dates available anymore? When's the first round of MMI?
 
According to the dean of admissions, Davis does not like stringing along applicants, so you may be very well in the running still.
 
You all are awesome, thank you! Also, as a UC Davis alum for undergrad/former UCDMC employee - be careful where you stay near the UCDMC campus! It's not super unsafe but there are some shady areas. It's a quick 15 - 20 minute drive to stay in downtown Davis and there are some cheaper hotels in a cute town with lots of great food

I'm planning on booking at the Good Nite Inn, anything I should be concerned about? lol
 
As my interview day approaches I am officially getting more tensed. Any advise on how to approach this interview?

I had my interview here recently and was quite nervous before it as well. It wasn't bad at all, I really enjoyed the MMI they have and I would recommend what they told us - just be yourself! The interview day as a whole was very welcoming 🙂
 
Have there been any post secondary rejections yet?
