Like I said this is just friendly advice. : ). You are an individual and as such have the freedom to do whatever you like. Much love to all the Drew applicants and best of luck.

Submitted my primary for here in July and haven't heard any word since. Is it safe to say I got rejected? Other friends of mine have gotten their rejections, but I haven't yet. It also seems that they aren't going to be offering any new II any time soon? haha SoCal resident here

To confirm what booboobaby said, I'm a relatively young application (<23) to be exact and i am taking a gap year but not exactly non-trad! Don't stress! I don't think that Age is the major factor here
Just accepted via phone call, very exciting!!
Congrats!
it begins!! ahhhh congrats!!!
Got the acceptance call from Joe this morning. So happy. In state, interviewed in September. Wishing everyone else all the best!

So elated for you! What month did you interview?
October
I missed a call from a CDU number earlier today. I called back and no one was able to answer and asked me to leave a message. Should I just call Joe directly? Thoughts anyone?
Congrats! Around what time did you receive the call?
Congratulations to everyone that has been accepted! So I counted 4 acceptances and at the interview Joe expressed that 11 spots were offered I wonder if he was counting these? Just thinking aloud. Thanks for all your support.

lol i wonder if they're spacing out the calls throughout the day.
Congrats to everyone. I guess for the rest of us fall interviewers who didn't make this first cut, we have to wait until February, or perhaps more realistically until March/June.
I don't think those who interviewed in the fall get reconsidered with the rest of the interview pool. I think they are waitlisted if they didn't get called on Monday.
I’m speculating here just like you but I don’t think we are waitlisted just yet. Personally, I will consider myself waitlisted when they accepted all 24. And knowing the more competitive applicants are typically in the fall, I don’t think they will easily disregard that and (lack of a better phrase) create us equal with the rest of the pool.
Ahh! Congrats to all who've been accepted, and welcome to the Drew family! If you have questions, feel free to PM me. 🙂
If you're waiting to hear back, just hold on a bit longer and don't lose hope! Rooting for you!

I wouldn’t recommend calling. At least not at this particular time, because I’m sure several applicants are doing the same thing. We don’t want to inundate the admission’s office. However, if you have significant updates or want to express your interest, then a LOI/Update Letter might be useful.
Good luck!
Good luck!
Alright I just called about something unrelated but I did ask about the Fall interview thing. At the end of Feb/beginning of March, they will examine the entire pool of interviewees, and give out the remaining ~14 offers to Fall interviewees and Spring interviewees.
primary submitted in August, no supplementary received yet. I guess I should be discouraged.

You guys saw this: CDU Portrait: Students .... I guess waitlist movement is very slow

Anyone optimistic about second half of offers being extended this week?
Nope, lol I'm betting some will probably hear back sometime in the next two weeks.
Interviewed on Feb 3rd (the last interview day). I believe Joe said that decisions won’t be announced until early-mid March. I don’t remember him stating a specific date. So hopefully we’ll hear something next week!
Thanks for that update! Last I heard during my January interview was we wouldn't find out until the end of February so I was a little excited this week.
If they work fast, then it’s possible they could announce this week too! It’s been a while since the last interview date so who knows lol
Just for fun, I came up with a haiku that sums up my sentiments about the process thus far:
______________________
End of Feb. slash March.
Early March turns to mid-march.
The wait is painful.

Congrats on your acceptance!!
Congrats to you as well! I'm sure you must be extremely excited 🙂
If you don't mind me asking, when did you interview? Before or After December?
Congrats and welcome to the Drewin family! Let me know if you have any questions!
Seems like there is a conflict in the information being reported 🙁
They are seen as UCLA Geffen SOM and Charles R. Drew COM graduates. Your degree is from the 11th ranked Medical school in the nation with a focus in underserved communities. I can't imagine what would be better than that.

Hi there! Thanks for the congratulations. I interviewed in January, best of luck!
This is how Joe described it during my interview. I've also looked through past application thread for Drew/UCLA and remember a few peoples post that said the same thing when they were applying for residencies.
You can find their match list on the website. Congrats, hoping to hear good news for here as well.
