Received interview invite yesterday!!!! Could not believe it. Dream school and super grateful. LizzyM 75, complete end of August [3 months ago!]. California resident, 3.5 years out of undergrad

For my secondary, I wrote a couple very bland paragraphs about my current research, was not expecting an interview here at all! There's hope for those still waiting!

Rejected post secondary last night! Complete in late August.

 

[wahoodoc]

Haven't heard a peep since July. Don't know what to think

 

[hopefuldoc24]

I'm surprised I got a secondary request earlier this week. I've been rejected pre interview at many lower ranking schools.

 

[purplerainbow]

When was the final II last cycle? January? December?

Seriously, I wasn't sure what you meant by the period.

I got secondary two days ago. Was complete late August, waiting around 3 months. No patience, no patients. Just glad i get a chance now~

Understandable.

 

[hopefuldoc24]

Understandable.

And remember that's why people are mostly anonymous on here.

 

[DrLæge]

My secondary was complete 7/14, and I just got my pleasantly gentle rejection email this week 🙂

 

[itnalispy]

Congrats! Which interviews dates were available to you? thanks

Earliest ones were mid-January.

 

[ojy77511]

Quick question. Im extremely interested in the PRIME program. Does this program require me to get into primary care only?

PRIME is geared towards underserved primary care but remember you don't specialize until your residency and fellowship years so it won't force you into primary care.

When does ucsf interview until?

 

[hopefuldoc24]

When does ucsf interview until?

I think late Jan or February. They just sent me a secondary last week. I submitted it yesterday.

Nope--there's plenty of need for people interested in serving vulnerable populations across all specialties.

 

[DogDays123]

When should we expect to hear back in Dec?

 

[nobody12]

Hey do you guys know what UCSF's policy is regarding update letters? Should I just email the admissions with my update? Thanks!

They are receptive to post interview updates, and yes email admissions. :]

Thank you! Do you think an update letter is a good place to reiterate the reasons I want to go to the school?

Thanks! I didn't have the 23rd as an option. The first available date for me was starting the 26th.

 

[kdirnfueu]

ahh it's nearing the end 🙁

 

[Skittsie13]

Rejected post-secondary last night, complete late August. Thought maybe it was a good sign that I survived the earlier late August rejection wave but I suppose not. Good luck to those still in the running!

 

[ojy77511]

ahh it's nearing the end 🙁

Im curious about this too. So does UCSF send II til February? When is the last date to interview? I got secondary late and submitted this week.

Last night I received the nicest rejection letter EVER. I can't even be sad.
Complete the end of August.

See you in four years for my residency interview, UCSF!

 

[Ampharos]

Would anyone be willing to post what the rejection letter looks like?
