has anyone been rejected post secondary, pre-II? or if you've haven't heard post-secondary, should i just assume that is a "hold"?

Has anyone gotten a rejection post secondary from UCR?

According to last year's thread, it appears post-secondary (but pre-II) rejections were sent out beginning Feb 17th.

 

[aaronrodgers]

are lectures recorded? are they mandatory? internal rankings? AOA?

 

[antibondingorbital]

II today! I am curious what the interview day will be like. Is it all MMI? Or part MMI part traditional? Overall, how did those of you who already interviewed feel about the interview day?

 

[severustheOG]

are lectures recorded? are they mandatory? internal rankings? AOA?

All lectures are recorded and all recorded lectures (even from previous years) can be accessed at all times. Only some of the lectures are mandatory (the number of mandatory lectures decreases significantly during second year, which is kind of nice, since everyone is prepping for STEPS and it gives you flexibility to study around your schedule.) No internal rankings. Everything in MS1 and MS2 is pass or fail.

Has there been an II to anyone complete late August to early September? It seems like all the IIs have been to early completed.

Did you get the II today?

 

[hk94]

Just to confirm, they don’t send out acceptance packets by snail mail right? And did anyone receive a financial aid offer yet?

 

[Brah of Science]

Did you get the II today?

No I got it two days ago

 

[veerchd]

is anyone else still waiting to hear back on their interview in November?

Yep! Interviewed Nov 18th. No communication from them thus far.

Interviewed mid-October and still nervously waiting to hear back. Not sure how much hope I should have at this point .. I really love this program

 

[Crazy bruin]

Besides Haider applicants (UCR Alum), if you haven't been accepted within 2-3 weeks of your interview date, it means that you have been waitlisted. You probably won't hear back until February/March.

UCR starts to send out a lot rejections this week.

 

[joeception]

Rejected, I knew it was coming but it still hurts

 

[Kingsmen2018]

Sooo, uhhh, if we didn't get a rejected today did we survive a bottleneck? or is there another application genocide coming up?

 

[Dolly96]

I'm sorry for those of you who were rejected today 🙁 Were any of you from the IE?

 

[chilis]

Also rejected today. IS but not IE. Complete late September, LM 75.

Is the reject notice from email?

 

[chilis]

Is the reject notice from email?

Edit: Yes, but the communication status in the portal was updated to reflect it also.

Im hoping this means we survived and will be hearing back about IIs soon 🙂 *fingers crossed*

 

[coffee101]

Does UCR take update letters? I didn't see an option for it. Even if they don't...would it be a faux pas to send one to the admission office anyway?

They do via email!

 

[westsidestoryz]

anyone have any updates? Nothing from my end (No II, no R) Submitted early august

 

[penguin169]

Quick questions about the interview:

1. Is it open or closed file?

2. I have been going through some practice scenarios and I can usually give my answer in about 4 minutes. I feel as though my answers are detailed while still be concise but worry about the remaining 4 minutes. Should I work on speaking slower or adding more detail or is 4 minutes or so adequate (I am sure this also depends on prompt).

3. Any tips on preparing for MMI? I have been looking at healthy policies and watching MMI videos on Youtube but just want to be prepared as possible!

Thanks!

Can you please tell us around how many hours of mission/volunteer work you have?

 

[TelemarketingEnigma]

Can you please tell us around how many hours of mission/volunteer work you have?

And your social security number too, while you’re at it.

 

[drsweetcheeks]

Can you please tell us around how many hours of mission/volunteer work you have?

I’ve done 3 one-week medical mission trips to Peru, so a fair amount of time was spent there. I also did volunteer work in a 1st grade classroom for ~160 hours. Nothing too crazy, but I always worked full-time in a medical setting for almost my entire college career.

 

[drsweetcheeks]

And your social security number too, while you’re at it.

I’ll get back to you on that one 😛
