This is in regards to your grade trends during your academic career that you feel could be partly attributed to by external factors.

Should I be concerned if I haven't received a complete email? submitted 11/21
 
Hi all, I have a question. I received a secondary on 10/30, but did not submit it until 12/9 w/o realizing there was a deadline of 11/21. I know, I'm dumb... My question is if I should still submit my payment. I have tried contacting the admissions office and emailing, but no one has gotten back to me in a week. HELP.

The admissions has generally been unresponsive so I wouldn't expect to hear back. Just send them an email explaining the situation and hope they overlook it. At this point, I don't think there's anything more you can do unfortunately.

For those that have interviewed, did they tell you approximately when we would hear back? They didn't mention it during my interview day. On last years thread, it looks like people began to hear toward the end of January/beginning of February.

Do we know if it's standard to get a confirmation email? Starting to worry something went wrong with my payment or submission, the silence makes me uncomfortable lol

Has anyone seen their match list? I haven't been able to find it online
 
Received Secondary and submitted 10/24. I never heard back, no confirmation email or anything. I submitted it with my AMCAS fee waiver which is why I wanted to confirm if they received everything but they never got back to me even after I emailed and called. I'm going to take it as they're no longer interested in me.

I asked this earlier and never received a response. I just had to look at UCLA’s match list. I wish there was a way to differentiate between the programs.

They showed us a match list during a presentation (it was all listed on one Powerpoint slide, IIRC). It would be difficult to determine what a “good” match list consists of for this highly mission-driven program, since 1) it’s small 2) many students want to do primary care and 3) many students want to remain in the LA area. My host said that as far as she’s aware, everyone matched within their top 3 choices last year, though, with at least a couple in surgical specialties (Mayo and Stanford came to mind).

In general, match lists do not mean much, because students self-select which specialties they apply to. Additionally, it does not give you much information about what factors each individual student considered (e.g., favoring community vs. academic programs, geographic location, cost-of-living, family support)

What would be helpful to know is the % of students who match, as well as what another poster has said in terms of did a student get into their top 3?

As an aside: happy holidays all! I am a current student who is now on their master’s year. If you have any non-admissions- related questions, feel free to shoot me a PM!

Good luck all!

Has anyone received a rejection email? My application was completed early October and I haven’t heard back from them. I don’t know if they will be sending out more interview invites. :(

i'm with you! wondering how many interview spots are left, if any
 
Is the interview traditional and MMI? Should we prepare to talk about US healthcare trends/issues or is the MMI more ethics, communication, teamwork, etc based?
