Someone could have withdrawn interview, and the spot became open.
i don't think so, I got mine later than that and I saw the 3/30 slot (as well as two slots in mid/late april)

When did you interview?
Information on how to accept your offer is in the acceptance package that will be mailed to you.

Jan 12 I actually got accepted a while ago but never read the letter since I assumed everything would be online and I am away from home now. Do I have to send something in the mail or write an email?
Oh my goodness that scared me. I interviewed 1/26 and I'm still waiting to hear.
Anyone else from the 1/26 interview day hear any news?

Looking at the previous trend..they been sending II over a month and a half before the dates. The last date for II is 4/27. I would assume they would be done sending invites by first week or March..Second at the latest...Again, just a guess from what I have seen.
I'm sorry one more question for you. Did you apply for the MD only program or PRIME/dual degree? In past threads it seems people are notified about a week after calls go out via status update and no email.
Also if anyone else is wondering, a friend of mine who interviewed with me 1/26 said she got an acceptance call 2 days ago.

There is few interviews left in the cycle. Sending update wont harm...even if it doesnt make a difference. Had seen a post in last year where II was granted after having sent an update or LOI.

Hello.
Long-time lurker, decided to finally join and chime in. I interviewed for 1/26 for PRIME-LC and was accepted. I hope you get good news soon, too!
Thank you! And congratulations! I have yet to receive a call. I've accepted that I'm likely wait listed 🙁

What kind of information did you have in those letters (beside your updates?) e.g. did you have your intent/interest in attending the school, proximity, if at all to home?
ive been waitlisted and am planning on sending an update letter soon, want to know what to include. thanks!
If its not too much trouble, when did you interview and when were you put on the wait list? and via email or status update?

Well I first wrote a general update in early fall and it didn't seem to help much. I wrote a more personal update a month ago and mentioned how it was close to my home and how I wanted to have a Med career in SoCal and why uci was uniquely suited to equip me with the education to reach my goals. Also updated them on my new job.

Did you send updates/letters to the email address?
What day did you get the call if you don't mind?
Nope! no updates or letter of interest, but I really really am interested, just wasn't sure if they accepted these. They did recently ask me for a copy of my green card and I sent them my newly granted US citizenship certificate🙂
1/3 chance of getting an "immediate acceptance" aka a call from Dr. Peterson a month or so after your interview. And 1/2 chance (roughly) overall including people who are accepted from the waitlist.

I contacted the admissions office back in January just to tell them that I would be in the area during the first week of February. They got back to me within a few days and said that they didn't have any interview days when I would be in town, but that they would put a note in my file. Other than that I didn't send any updates or LOIs.

Are there any current students (or aspiring students) that can comment on their thoughts regarding UCI's curriculum? I know that UCI uses a more traditional curriculum with normal physio in your first year and pathophysio during your second whereas schools like UVA are using an integrated system-based curriculum and I would be really curious to hear people's thoughts on this. Do you like one way or the other and do you think life is "easier" for students in one vs. the other?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Can any current students provide comments on on-campus housing? Would you recommend it over off-campus housing? Which of the three affordable options (Campus Village, Palos Verde, Verano) would you recommend? How easy is it to receive an offer if you are on the housing wait list as a med student? Thanks!
