Approaching the 6th week..
I wonder what's gonna happen when week 6 ends. This thread's been relatively quiet with IIs. I can't imagine a huge hold/rejection wave going out.Approaching the 6th week..
I was put on hold last year 10 weeks after my complete date, so I wouldn't rely on the 2-6 week thing.does anyone know if they actually stick to their 2-6 week claim? I'm 4 weeks out an haven't heard anything
but did they say 2-6 weeks on their complete email last year?? just curious cause i'm on approaching my 6th weekI was put on hold last year 10 weeks after my complete date, so I wouldn't rely on the 2-6 week thing.
Yeah, they did. Try not to freak out too much (easier said than done, I know) because they don't do silent rejections. You're bound to hear something eventually.but did they say 2-6 weeks on their complete email last year?? just curious cause i'm on approaching my 6th week
Thanks for letting us know. The 2-6 weeks thing is just too good to be true with the volume of applications that they receive.Yeah, they did. Try not to freak out too much (easier said than done, I know) because they don't do silent rejections. You're bound to hear something eventually.
hey there everyone,
I feel quite silly asking this (because I wouldn't expect to put myself in this situation), but realistically I've been prioritizing some other secondaries that were more important to me over others .. anyone know if UCSD is very hard and fast about the 2 week deadline on the secondary? Is it a lost cause to submit ASAP?
many thanks and good luck to all!

I think you are right. Only MSTP has a 2 week deadlineWait I'm pretty sure UCSD has a 4-week deadline? Am I mistaken?
It sounds like you're improved the non-numbers parts of your application and have a clear commitment to medicine. It's $39 for a chance at a UCSD secondary... If you can afford that, I vote that you submit.hi everyone, looking for some feedback here as I'm sure if i should apply or not...
OOS re-applicant with 3.75 cGPA and 3.68 sGPA, 510 mcat that dropped to 508 . last year i submitted my primary very late and somehow got the secondary for UCSF & UCSD... this year, i applied a month earlier (first week of july, still not great) but i havent applied to UCSD yet. The only reason I'm thinking of adding it now is that i got the secondary to UCLA recently, which i didnt get last year. overall, my application was very very research heavy last year, but after getting feedback from adcoms, ive done over 1000+ clincal hours plus interesting non-clincal volunteer that is geared towards my passion for psychiatry. I'm also ORM racially, but i did go through some challenges that helped me mature significantly.
TL;DR: mcat that barely makes the 10th percentile, but last year got secondary to UCSF & UCSD but not UCLA. This year, made a lot of improvement to application, already received and submitted UCLA secondary, now wondering if i should apply to UCSD again.
(sorry for reposting this from UCSF, looking for any feedback as I want to balance being realistic vs hopeful...thank you so much!)

NopeFor those complete 2-6 weeks ago, has anyone heard anything yet?
Same here -- I got the "we received your application and are reviewing it before sending you a secondary" email on June 30th and still no word from them.I was verified July 6 and I still haven't gotten a secondary! Anyone else?
I don't think it's unusual. I heard back from UCI fast, from UCSD medium (maybe two weeks), and have not heard bupkus from UCSF in more than a month.Hi all,
I was verified mid-August and I haven't received a single email from UCSD (or UCSF for that matter), like not even a "we received your primary email". Is that unusual or am I just worrying too much?
I just feel like I heard back from UCI pretty fast.
I will name my child San Diego if I get accepted here.
I will tattoo the words "a whale's vagina" on my right buttcheek if I get into UCSD.
Auto II just for having the Chandler's pic.II about an hour ago! LizzyM 75, submitted 8/8 (today was my 5 week mark).
Is UCSD being slow this year or I am not very patient? Received secondaries from all UCs I have applied to except for this one. AMCAS Complete 8/22.Auto II just for having the Chandler's pic.
They might be slow. I've been complete for almost 8 weeks now and still have silence.Is UCSD being slow this year or I am not very patient? Received secondaries from all UCs I have applied to except for this one. AMCAS Complete 8/22.

I would recommend that everyone in this situation call them! I called the admissions office after waiting a little over 8 weeks (I was verified early July). From the way the guy I spoke to sounded on the phone while he was looking at my file, I thought I was going to get a rejection email, but about an hour later they emailed me the secondary. I think there's some disorganization in the process, not just diabolical strategy to make their applicants go crazy.
Do they accept updates?
Lol, did you post on every UC school you applied to?AMCAS verified 8/28, haven't heard anything yet... Any clue how long the wait is? Thanks!

The short answer is that the wait can take as long as it likes, from almost immediately, a day or even several months. It's still early in the cycle and they're probably all processing applications like mad right now.
complete early august and no status update - way to hold to "2-6 weeks" LOL
when were you complete? are you IS or OOS ?I just got my II!!! My dream school
I am oos. Completed like august 3when were you complete? are you IS or OOS ?
