2016-2017 Charles Drew/UCLA Application Thread
Started by WedgeDawg
Congrats!
Any updates? Submitted my secondary 9/4 but haven't heard anything yet.
Any recent secondaries?? Haven't heard a word since submitting my primary in august
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?

Thank you! Well they told me the next available date is nov 19th(I was told this via phone) so I'm patiently awaiting my email confirmation-- did you also receive the phone call or did they email you first???
Ahhhh ok. I got a phone call with an interview invite then not too long after I received an email with more information.
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
I got that call today too. Waiting on email.
It took a few hours so don't start freaking out just yet lol
Okay awesome!! Thank you so much!!
And submitted! Such a quick turn around on their part, wanted to do the same lol!

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?

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?

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.
2 white coat ceremonies, 2 graduations, joint degree but 2 diplomas

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.
Yes. I think a few ppl have on here
See you there!
I'll also see you guys there! I'm so excited

I haven't heard of any.
+1. I fit their mission very well, or at least I thought so!
Look at @imcelroy response above if you were interested in having one. I'm going to email Joe today.
