So if we are on prime's waitlist does that mean we can't get an acceptance from regular Geffen?

Hi all,
I called UCLA and got some info recently. I'm not sure if it will be helpful to anyone else.
It sounds like for PRIME applicants that have been passed over to regular SOM, there is no "you will hear back by "x" date".

Rather, we can be accepted up to 1 week prior to orientation (orientation is 8/6) so very end of July.
When I asked about realistic odds, they said that this is not necessarily a soft rejection, and that PRIME applicants are accepted into regular SOM--but there exists no data about how frequently this happens.

Not particularly helpful info, I know.. but I thought I'd share
 
Hi everyone I am new to this thread, and I am applying this upcoming cycle, with UCLA PRIME as my top choice program. I wish you all the best, I know whatever happens you guys will all be great, successful physicians.
