Members don't see this ad.

yea they said about 40 offers had been given out. Idk how many were the UCR alum reserved spots though.

Thanks. Looks like chances are slim at this point 🙁

Why do you think so? This just means they have 60 offers left to give!

When I interviewed in October they said they accept around 100 (I think it was 100 but I'm not completely sure) so that about 1/2 accept. Don't give up!!

Class is 50 not 100 or do you mean they offer 100 on average to fill the 50

An offer doesn't necessarily entail matriculation. They said about half of acceptances end up matriculating and half end up going somewhere else.

I know the interview season is coming to a close, but I'm still crossing my fingers for an II at UCR.

Does anyone have an interview scheduled for March or know when the last interviews are occurring?

Did you guys send your email updates to Tammy clawson, [email protected], or [email protected]? This is so confusing and no one ever picks up the phone...

I sent it to [email protected], and it was Julie Lakatos that appended the update to my application.

I'm not sure if they have technical difficulties at the moment, but I can't even log into their secondary application website either.
Just send the update to the email address I provided and try to call again later in the week if they don't send an email back. Although, you may have read that they have a lot of emails to sift through and may not be able to get to you in a timely manner. : /

 

[ebasappa]

Arghhh, anyone from the 2/7 Interview date hear back?

Arghh, I sent mine to Tammy. No acknowledgement. :/

They should both be operating that email, so I think you are fine.

 

[MrLogan13]

How long did it take for you to get an acknowledgment email?

 

[Ssina]

How long did it take for you to get an acknowledgment email?

8 days for me...

 

[Dare2Dream]

8 days is a decent turn around but how long ago was this? Wondering if this was before the backlog.

Second week of Jan

 

[MrLogan13]

Well, I'm on 6 days now. 4 business days though.

 

[Holmwood]

Well as I posted before, mine in October took 10 days. I still didn't get my other two in November and January acknowledged, so eh. That fact that someone got theirs acknowledge in January may just mean this is random.

 

[Dare2Dream]

Second week of Jan

Ok thanks, its been a month for me without a response.

 

[keevwu]

they don't seem to have any method to their e-mail answering

 

[MrLogan13]

Anyone know when their last interview date is?

 

[RudyRude]

Can anyone else access their secondary? What the hell lol. I need to check my essays... Should I call?

 

[FeinMS]

I get "server error"

 

[MrLogan13]

Getting a server error too.

 

[RudyRude]

Ugh. Thanks guys, I want to save my essays before theyre gone. :/

 

[YoSoyCasa-MD]

Arghhh, anyone from the 2/7 Interview date hear back?

Still refreshing my email here every 10 mins. I interviewed the 7th too.

 

[MrLogan13]

Interview invite!!

Congrats! Received today?

 

[general987]

Be yourself, rock it out, take no prisoners

 

[MrLogan13]

Does UCR read LoR before extending interview invites?

Man, I sure hope so.

 

[YoSoyCasa-MD]

Where you in the AM or PM interview set?

 

[lawyer_doc]

Are interviews at this point for the waitlist? Mine is on March 21st....I was pleasantly surprised for sure.

 

[Inygma]

They accept 2-3 people from each day and the rest go on the wait list I believe. Good luck

May I ask when you received your II?

 

[lawyer_doc]

[keevwu]

[ebasappa]

I was in the AM, I'm still waiting on the email as well :/

 

[Smex]

I wonder if that is the last interview day

 

[Smex]

I wonder if that is the last interview day

I think it is, the email said they interview until the end of March, every alternate Saturday, March 21st would be the last alternate Saturday of March.

Interview day was phenomenal. I can't think of any other school that I'd rather attend 🙂.

 

[Doc_2019_7]

Hi everyone!
Just got II invite today via email. Last interview date 3/21. I had some questions about the format of the interview. I know that they are 10 station MMI with no traditional interview component. Will any part of our interview be open file? (will we be asked about gpa, mcat, extra curricular activities, research, etc) Also, how long is each MMI?
Thanks for all the help!!

 

[Inygma]

Anyone know how long it takes to get a decision back?

2-3 weeks if you are one of the 2-3 they auto accept. If not probably we will be hearing in the next month or two when we all get mass rejected when class is full

Aw man, I hope not. I was looking forward to this school, esp. being a fresh graduate from there :\

There will be some acceptances once the one acceptance deadline comes around so maybe some good movement then

 

[Doc_2019_7]

I spoke to Tammy from admissions, she said the interviews are closed file

 

[wannaBanMD]

When is the acceptance deadline??
