Is it worth applying as OOS? I recall noticing some unfavorable statistics of their class profile

Great question! We have a pretty good mix of both IS/OOS students, so definitely apply!

If it’s the same as last year, then it’s $80, by cashier’s check or money order.

If any one has really received the secondary, can you post the questions?

Did everyone get a confirmation of UCLA getting their primary app? I applied to both Geffen and Drew and no confirmation from either.

For Geffen yes, I got and submitted secondary. For Drew...nothing! If they never end up sending secondaries, amcas can you give my $39 back xD

When did those who've received secondary application submit their primary application?
 
Does anyone know if the 800 characters includes spaces or not? I don't think it specifies on the secondary.

Does anybody know when the first round of interviews is?

Also, to those who got a secondary from Drew, when were you complete?

Thanks
 
Primary verified around the same time as those who reported to received secondaries. Does anyone know if they send secondaries out in batches? Or is it a silent rejection pre-secondary if we didn't receive secondary in that first wave?

She said they were really backed up on primaries. She wouldn't even tell me if they reviewed primaries based on the order they were received... Like wut???

Yay! I hope they still consider those who submitted primary before that. This is a time where I wish they review apps not in chronological order.

Don't think CDU needs to send out that many secondaries. The cohort is rather small

How are you all filling out the activities portion? The 800 character limit is quite confusing

I would totally submit the secondary if i were you. you were clearly good enough to pass the initial screening and they don't send out that many secondaries since the cohort is rather small :) goodluck!

Thank you... that’s what I was wondering, they just mentioned that there are lots of applications and said submit it ASAP so I was thinking they might have sent lots of secondaries or something
 
Do they send an email confirmation when you submit your secondary and photo?

Has anyone verified mid to late-August received a secondary? This is one of my top choices and I'm just so bummed I haven't received one yet. I was verified 8/17.

Probably ~480 are given secondaries using a similar conversion to the one in 2007.

250 will probably be interviewed and about 40-45 will be accepted.

I believe their student number is capped to 28. They accept more because not all will choose CDU.

Verified 8/10. Secondary received 9/19. Low stats so there's definitely hope for all those applying!
