Same here, I didn't receive an email about UCLA Drew receiving primary/under review like I did for UCLA Prime. Also, there is an error when go to check status on portal.

Worried about the silence, but maybe we are still being considered?

I haven't gotten a secondary from UCLA' s md program yet but I've gotten UCR and UCSD so I'm remaining hopeful for the other UCs!

Did it take awhile to get the email confirmation like a few hours? I haven't gotten the email yet--I'm trying to make sure this wasn't some vivid illusion haha

So I take it they don't send "complete" emails?
Did anyone get any further correspondence before an II.

Also any FAP applicants, I attached the approval email when I sent the secondary back. Is that good enough or did anyone have to take any other steps?

Good luck to everyone interviewing tomorrow! Ya'll gonna rock it!
 
I submitted my primary to Charles Drew in early August and haven't heard back. Should I be worried? Could it be a technical glitch?
 
Hi everyone, Imani here, I'm a MSIV in the program. If you have any questions I'm available. Feel free to ask here or email me. [email protected] good luck!

Since we attend class at UCLA we live in UCLA graduate housing. When we move off campus, most people move to marina del ray/culver city/Venice. All very nice neighborhoods with affordable housing for students.

Stupid question alert: Is the white coat ceremony at UCLA or Drew? Is the degree granted from UCLA, Drew, or both somehow? I assume both answers are Drew but I'm just curious.

The portal error is because CDU's portal is for accepted students from the 2016 cohort. It's not current for the new 2017 applications.
 
Anxiously waiting for II. Starring at my phone every 10mins!!

does anyone know which Saturdays are interview days for November and December?
 
Checking in - Long time lurker, first time poster!

Received phone call on 9/16 for II on 11/19.

So excited for this one as CDU is in my hometown neighborhood and King/Drew was my local hospital growing up

For those who have interviewed thus far:
Is the Interview soley a MMI? or is there an individual interview as well?
 
I haven't got a secondary here. Is there still hope to get one ?
