Highly doubt that's the case. I'd say the opposite, because everyone or close to everyone replied by the deadline, they're not opening many more spots. I know a few people who got IIs and we all responded almost immediately. People would be silly to pass up the opportunity, which unfortunately doesn't help those of you who are still waiting to get one.

No. my prime and regular geffen status page look exactly the same. It said request under interview and the date the invite was made. It asked for my preferred weekdays to interview and dates that I am unavailable. After I submitted that it says view under interview status, where I could click to see what preferred weekdays I requested. But the letter that went along with the interview request was for the regular Geffen.
Yup, got an II from PRIME first day interview invites when out and the interview row is still blank.
Yes I originally submitted my secondary for Prime but was rejected from PRIME sometime in December because I was sent an interview invite for regular DGSOM. My interview date is in February. I'm sure more invites will come soon. They finish interviewing in March. It just sucks that we couldn't have interviewed earlier before they send out their first round of acceptances in January.
Oh my. I guess I am in pretty bad shape for UCLA if I haven't received a regular DGSOM II yet as well.
No I don't think so. I was just probably passed along from PRIME earlier than other people so DGSOM could review my app before the winter break. I would think more people will definitely get II
I'm gonna check on this
So I heard back
Yeah, but I think the point is that if you got a DGSOM interview before hearing from PRIME, you were passed up by PRIME. Which checks out given the PRIME interviews are all happening this month and were handed out last month. And also, is basically stated in what you quoted
I am wondering this too

During the interview, we were told that dgsom has only had 2 rounds of acceptances so if you don't get into PRIME atleast you technically interviewed for dgsom also. waiting sucks but hang in there. you wont regret applying to PRIME once you get that acceptance.

Ahh.. Definitely misunderstood your previous post. Assuming the question hasnt been asked on the dgsom forum,Maybe they can better answer on who among them applied for PRIME and got II for dgsom. I hope you hear from the school soon. good luck!I didn't get an interview for PRIME. My comment was regarding if and how many DGSOM acceptances might be extended to people that did interview for PRIME.. and my thoughts on that maybe (? Who knows?) having an impact on how many PRIME rejects get DGSOM interview offers. Tough to be thrown into the general DGSOM pile so late in the game, as others have commented as well, which is why I kind of regret applying PRIME. (Felt like you didn't really understand my post
That may not be quite the case - at my September interview for the regular MD program, I was still being considered for PRIME. But this would definitely be a question to follow up on.
I really wish PRIME would make their application process more transparent (and require acceptance into the regular MD program before being considered for PRIME like other programs do so that it didn't feel like applying to the PRIME program puts acceptance into DG at risk..but I digress).
