Does any one know if they overshoot the amount of acceptances ?I don't think it makes sense to because they keep consist amount of 122 students each year, but it is possible.

I was more than 10 spots down on the wait list and was offered admission today! I have two days to decide...I still can believe it happened, let alone so quickly. The only thing preventing me from saying yes is the living situation. The city was kind of overwhelming when I was there for the interview. Any current students from small towns? Is it a tough transition?

To those who submitted their application yesterday I open a new thread for us to talk about our background and the whole process of admissions.

please help!!! I desperately want to get into my first choice UCSF . I have avg. GPA but hear UCSF looks at entire app. Given my extracurriculars, is this enough for UCSF to overlook the avg. GPA and consider me a candidate? Should I apply under early decision? Please be real in your responses, I can handle it. (applying fall 2015)

Can anyone who is familiar with the interview process give some advice? Maybe how I should prepare, or what I should beware or?
