The quasi-mmi? Umm they’re pretty common questions that you should be fine thinking of on the spot. Not sure if I can disclose anymore than that sorry.

No acting scenes as far as I know. It’s been a while too so I forgot a lot

Anyone get a late secondary to UCI?

 

[medlife123]

has anyone tried contacting the school (calling, emailing, etc.) about when admission decisions will come out?

At my interview they said decisions are around Halloween.

At my interview they said decisions are around Halloween.

When did you interview?

 

[premed7796]

When did you interview?

A while ago, 9/11. FWIW at least 2 med students I met during the interview said they were accepted on Halloween (or the day before).

 

[shizdawiz]

Is Irvine receptive to updates? If so, should they be emailed through the portal?

 

[drkarebear]

I still have not received my secondary after being verified Aug 20. Should I consider the silence indicative of a near-future rejection lol? My stats arent great so this wouldnt surprise me (LizzyM <65, OOS). Just really wanted to do PRIME-LC, and thought maybe I had a chance after receiving the UCSD, UCLA, and Davis secondaries :/

Has anyone received a pre-secondary R yet?

Yes, I sent an update through the portal and they emailed me to confirm that they would add the letter to my file.

 

[teriyakibeef]

The wait is excruciating. Anyone know if post-II decisions have been sent out yet?

Agree! My student interviewer and student host told me they were accepted off the waitlist, so at the very least I'm hoping to get waitlisted!

 

[sfs2468]

Lol rejected post-interview. Honestly kind of surprised because I thought it went well and my stats are well above their averages, but it just goes to show how random this process is!

Whoa, I'm so sorry to hear that! Did you get an email today?

 

[lostinthesaucee]

ACCEPTED! Got the call earlier this morning

 

[kuzyastro]

ACCEPTED! Got the call earlier this morning

[caliapp78]

Did anyone interview the first day and not hear back yet? Haven't heard good or bad news from UCI yet.

Me!

 

[Peanutsmom]

Anyone know if they are still sending out secondaries? This is the only UC I haven't heard from. I know it isn't likely- but I am wondering if they ever even received my primary.

 

[teriyakibeef]

Me!

Me as well.

 

[itoen]

Me as well.

Seems like a few people have received calls, but it's really odd that more of us haven't heard anything. It's already November?

 

[medlife123]

[notbougie]

Missed a call from Dean Peterson today in the afternoon because I was at another med school for an interview. She left a message letting me know I was accepted!

 

[localfocus]

Just got the call from Dr. Peterson and was accepted.

[biobeyotch]

II, complete late august! OOS, no ties

 

[PickleRickelus]

should I just assume if I haven't gotten a secondary by now its time to move on??? not that im a star applicant by any means but just surprised its taken this long for any decision to be made

When I applied 2 years ago, I got a secondary in December. unless you've been rejected, don't lose hope just yet.

 

[HappyFeet_14]

Ladies who have attended the dinner before the interview, what did you wear?

Is there anyone else who interviewed mid-September and hasn’t heard anything?

The wait is killing me

 

[notbougie]

Depends on your definition of Mid-September, haha. Looks like no one has heard from the 18th as far as I can tell. I feel you on the waiting issue, solidarity my friend <3

Same here, from 9/18 haha. Hope we hear back soon!

 

[HelloMello912]

Anyone send in updates on the portal and not get an email confirmation afterwards? Just want to make sure my updates went through. Sigh, silence since August - I'm gonna assume no news is good news...?

I sent an update a week after my interview in September and got an email confirmation an hour later

 

[HelloMello912]

Thanks for the heads up - maybe since I sent the update through the portal later in the day yesterday, they're still combing through stuff... I should've also mentioned that this is pre-II updates, since they've been uber silent, ergh

 

[YKZ1418]

Got an UCInet ID even though I don't have an II from this school.. Not sure if it is a good sign or neutral.

Same. I didn’t get an email about it, just noticed the ID in the portal. I don’t have an II yet either, I don’t think it means anything.

 

[sfs2468]
