God that would be nice. I had 2 schools I was supposed to hear back from in October. Davis is stringing me along and the other school is getting to the last 2d of its window (hoping they won't drop the ball too). I just want to hear something, darnit!
Both posts are accurate...if you look through, you'll see the same 2 prompts in the 2nd post. The additional questions are all tied to specific programs...MSTP, PRIME, etc.
Ah, sorry, I wasn't paying attention to charCount, just the questions! Good luck to you!
I'm an MS1 at Davis right now, I can tell you that more than a third of our class was in the exact same situation as me. Davis does review apps quickly, but they review as they go. It's not like you only get one chance to get looked at. I also really doubt you actually heard that from the dean here because our dean is all about making sure everyone gets their fair shot and not hanging onto applicants for no reason.
Complete 8/26 still waiting for II
Every stage of this process, at essentially every school, proceeds nonlinearly. The only thing you'll learn from watching the timelines of people around you is how quickly anxiety levels can spike.
Oh sure...I intend to do so, and I post on here in lieu of pointlessly annoying them with my questions. However, I feel that a certain measure of curiosity is justified when I was one of the very early interview dates, was told I was guaranteed a decision by a certain date, and then was not notified of the delay until after the possible acceptance window. I'm not really upset; I totally understand that delays happen. Still, this is the only place I am actually feeling anxious about, largely due to the circumstances, and that would be alleviated with a few details.
Hopefully this wait is over, then!
Out of how many? Also, Should I be worried if I haven't received an II, I was complete at Davis 8/26? 2015 UC Post Bacc graduate.
Nobody can answer that for you. All we can do at this point is wait and keep reminding ourselves that no news is good news.
Good Point. Thanks
Np...'tis the (application) season and all that!
I don't think you should be worried. They LOVE postbaccs and URM. You'll be fine. They interview as late as March.
II received on 10/30. Complete 8/25. IS, ties to Davis community. LizzyM mid 60s. First (and only) date available was mid February. Good luck to those still waiting!
Not intentionally trying to stress us out...but there is a difference between "we didn't get to these apps" and intentionally deferring them. Being intentionally deferred is a bad thing, and if they're holding us to review alongside future interviewees, we're the 'iffy' candidates. So, basically, what you're describing is exactly what I was hoping was NOT the case, because that is straight-up bad news.
I think they interview through the end of March, but can't swear by it. I was blown away by the date (and a little bummed), but consider it more time to practice for the MMI?
I am comforted by the fact I know M1s who interviewed around that time last cycle and matriculated.
Yup complete 8/30 and still waiting. Not expecting anything good!
1. Personal? Not exactly. An intentional deferral would be a bad sign for actually getting in, is all...and this place is my best shot AND I loved it there.
Scores still matter...they never go away entirely, but yeah, they already decided your scores are good enough if you get an interview. I'm just running out of time before I leave the country, so I'm getting antsy. Normal waiting times I am also fine with, but it's disconcerting to be bumped out of the usual schema without further explanation.
Do they say a 2 week turnaround?
Nice!
Understandable! This whole process has got me (and I'm sure many others) walking on eggshells.
