There seems to be a lot of discrepancy in "theories" of who actually gets a secondary, so I'll share my 2 cents and hopefully some of you can add. My MCAT score just came in this week and it seems like I got an "automatic" secondary because the email came the same time as the "application received" email. Stat wise, I'm on the low end with LizzyM 63. uGPA 3.7; gradGPA 3.9; mCAT 503. SoCal. EC's: Pending master's thesis in bio + TA; 3 years hospital volunteer + leadership; 3 years scribe experience. Pretty standard premed EC's. I was trying to figure out if I should do a secondary for this school after hearing how much they favor NorCal. Went searching on reddit/sdn and could not find a straight answer of how they screen 2°. Based on UCD website, seems like they initially screen based on EC's. Can anyone add to this?

last cycle I was rejected almost instantly (like 1 day later) after submitting my primary applications there. this year there is no word so far (complete late july), I'm assuming no secondary is better than an instant rejection? xD

What are your stats?
 
Anyone here take the clinic tour while interviewing? Do you all remember what time that started and ended? Asking for a friend. I sadly could not fit in an extra day to do this :/

It’s the 16th of October, earliest decision date for those who interviewed! Admission said they will try to get decisions out that day!

I’m not too hopeful myself due to mistakes I made the day of the interview Tho!

Hahaha I know I feel the same way. I tried not to think about it too much but as the date approaches it is kind of hard not to

Did they say they’d start letting people know on the 16th? I remember hearing the 15th on my interview day, but I could be wrong.

I was told the 15th on my interview day as well but I confirmed with the office that it is the 16th!
 
A little birdy informed me that UCD might be a bit slower to reviewing applications this season. It seems like they don't have enough people volunteering to review applications and are still recruiting. So there is still hope for those who haven't received a secondary app yet!

Does this apply to giving out interviews too?
 
Not to be creepy but what initial do y'alls last names start with lol trying to figure out if it's alphabetical or by interview date...
 
Its not last name, my friend got his acceptance and my Initial is right next to but before his. He interviewed super early though.
