If you check out the regular DGSOM application thread, pre-II rejections already came out to folks who didn't apply PRIME. Perhaps it isn't soo bad that we applied PRIME....

Nothing yet on my side.Has anyone that interviewed for PRIME been accepted or rejected yet? Thanks!
Quote from somebody on regular Geffen thread:
Hey guys, quick update: I called and they told me that all decisions for PRIME have already been made and are being sent out. At this point they are finished with the PRIME. For students who also applied for the MD only program, those applications are still being reviewed. The students who were passed on for PRIME are not necessarily looked at after all the MD applicants. So, I guess there really isn't a downside to applying to PRIME but I could be wrong.. Hopefully this is comforting to some of you... :/ I'm still waiting on a secondary so I guess I probably should give up at this point but then I'm somehow still hopeful if applications are still being reviewed....
Wait, wait, wait...decisions for *interviews* have been made or *final* (post-interview) decisions have been made for PRIME? Can you please clarify?

I applied to PRIME and was rejected from DGSOM few days ago lol
I am assuming no one who interviewed has heard back yet?
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).
Just confirming what @WhittyPsyche and others above have said: at my PRIME interview day someone asked about this specifically and we were told that if we were rejected from PRIME they would then pass on our application to DG admissions who will then decide if they want to accept you or not. There isn't an additional DG interview, they will use your PRIME interview performance instead. They also said that they would try to speed up the process this year so that PRIME rejects (damn that sounds harsh) would be passed on to DG sooner.If accepted into PRIME we should expect notification on or before March 1st. All this to say that if you applied to PRIME and received a DG interview, you were no longer being considered for PRIME.
Does anyone know what happens if you get accepted into PRIME and then decide to do the regular MD program instead? Just curious.
I still haven't heard back since submitting my PRIME secondary back in 10/26/2016. Do you think that if I haven't received a Pre-II rejection yet that I still have a chance to interview here? Or are they no longer sending out interviews?

We are supposed to hear back this week! (post interview peeps only)
SO NERVOUS.
This is what they said to us in person for my interview group when I asked when we would be hearing back. They said "end of February/beginning of March" which to me means starting this week we should be hearing back. AGAIN: SO NERVOUS.

I decided to email them and ask. They said there was a bit of a delay and they won't be finished sending out acceptances until the end of next week. So look out for calls next week!
It's a beautiful day for some acceptance phone calls. Why wait till EOD tomorrow?

If you interviewed, you should get a response by friday which will either be "you are on the waitlist", "Your application has been sent to the regular pool" or "nah fam"I emailed Monday morning but no response.

called today
The person I talked to said "some acceptances were already given out" or something close to itOh okay - thanks for calling. I also e-mailed but got no response yet. So does that mean all the initial calls of acceptance were already made?
Same here. Does your status portal reflect information under the interview and the transcript sections? It concerns me because mine does not and people in the DGSOM thread have been finding out decision reslts via the portal.Rejected at UCLA PRIME I hope I get in to regular UCLA.
