rejected pre-II. applied for PRIME. complete november sometime.
 
🙁 Rejected pre-II. No hold. Complete in Sept.
 
What about the rest of us -- on hold, not rejected, seemingly not getting an II? Do we think the hold is just gonna lead to a rejection?

For those that have interviewed, please help me to make sure I am understanding this correctly.

The information I have only mentions the 8 stations. Does this mean that there will no chance for any interview questions that you'd be asked in a more traditional interview? I ask because I interviewed at UCLA (last year) and they had the 8 (or so) stations followed by a slightly lengthened traditional interview (e.g. "Why this school?" "Why medicine?" etc.).

If this is the case that it's only the 8 scenario-type stations (i.e. no opportunity for more personal conversation), am I the only one that finds this odd?

Many thanks for your help!
 
reeeeejection, on hold prior

I think it's a good sign because the rejection email said, "The Admissions Committee of the UCSD School of Medicine has completed the review of applicants that submitted secondary applications earlier in the cycle." So my guess is they're probably going to start reviewing on holds now, and I've heard they're still offering interviews.
 
On hold since October, just got axed. No California love this cycle 🙁 Good luck everyone!

If you're asking if there is a slightly lengthened traditional-like interview after the 8 MMI stations as with UCLA - No.
If you're asking if there are traditional-like questions in the MMI itself - All interviewees sign a confidentiality agreement so we cannot disclose any info regarding the stations.
Is it odd? Maybe. Not that it matters either way. Gotta just go in and be yourself. Hope this helps!
 
I'm comfortable saying that it is possible for traditional questions to pop up during MMI scenarios or follow-up questioning with the interviewers, just like at any MMI.

you are understanding it correctly
I didn't find it odd personally
Had an interviewer who said he didn't ask 'why this school/why medicine' ever because he was bored of canned responses
 
It seems like Brian sometimes calls those who are accepted to let them know of the good news, while others only get an acceptance email and then later the letter mailed to them. Can anyone that was accepted confirm if you will for sure get a call or not? Thanks!
