I think you should not call them. I understand how frustrated you are, just as I am because we haven't been hearing back from a lot of schools, but I think we should be patient. They must be having a difficult time with their decisions, and hasting them may result in inappropriate and not very thoughtful decisions.

I just asked if they have accepted anyone, as there is conflicting claims. No one has expressly posted an acceptance here. I knew UCR will be stressful because of the ~50 spots. Also, I have a $1,000 non-refundable deposit at my 2nd choice due next week =(
 
They are quite meticulous with who they accept. They really handpick the class versus handing out a whole bunch of acceptances and waiting for it to whittle down. Keep the hope alive! 🙂

Do you know how bad my chances are that I was in the first group and didn't receive an acceptance? I feel if they are hand picking the best 1-2 from each group, my chances are quite low now.

I think you will be ok. I honestly don't know how the process works but people from my interview group were accepted at different times. Stay positive 🙂

Thank you,

Just being a neurotic pre-med. UCR is definitely my #1 choice so I am even more stressed haha. Thanks for the encouraging words.

Decided just to call them.. They have accepted "a few" people already. Not sure if they plan on doing a large email later on, or if it'll just trickle until the multiple acceptance deadline.

Trying to keep my hopes up!

Have hope, bro! There was a group of people accepted in December last year so maybe the same may happen again in the next week or so (hopefully you get one before your nonrefundable deposit)! This process is truly random and often, not transparent at all so keep the faith! Fingers crossed for all of us 🙂
 
I was complete in September and still haven't gotten anything back from UCR. Guessing there is no chance 🙁
 
Congrats to those accepted!!! Does anyone happen to know if UCR accepts new letters of recommendation post-interview?

Damn, I interviewed same day and nothing.. What are the chances they'll still send out acceptances to the people within the same group?

Edit: oops, I interviewed 10/25

I interviewed 10/25 also ):
 
About 1/3 of the interviewees are accepted to UCR's SOM. (One of the ADCOM members explicitly stated this during an interview). Individuals that are wait listed have a very high chance of eventually gaining admittance if this is your top choice! Just hang in there!

I hope this is true!
 
I think I heard a similar thing. Even though around 50 students matriculate every year, UCR assumes that 50% of their accepted students will matriculate. So they will eventually accept 100 ppl
 
for those that were accepted thus far, did you all have pretty close ties (whether it be working, volunteering, growing up there, etc.) to the IE?
 
Congratulations to all the accepted applicants!!! If you guys want you should make a Class of 2019 facebook page that way it would be easier for the medical students to communicate with you all.

Yes can we please do this?!
 
If they're not responding to my updates does that mean I'm rejected 🙁
 
Its a typical MMI with around 10 stations. The Dean or Associate Dean will give a talk prior to interview
 
Glad to hear a lot of people haven't gotten decisions yet! haha

As my first choice. I agree 😛

I did talk to admissions again when I updated them on a recent class. If you didn't hear right away (2-3 weeks) after interview we probably won't hear till April ish

Still trying to keep my hopes up
