Geffen scholarship here!! Informed yesterday and I interviewed early October. I got the travel award from UCLA soon after my interview (I think this is because of my financial status. Fyi: I had my application fees waived for most med schools).
I was between UCLA and some out of state schools, but I think this scholarship made the decision for me to stay in California.
Good luck everyone! Let me know if I can answer any related questions
I got the travel award after my interview as well. Haven't heard back a decision yetWait so you got the travel award after your interview?
Got the Geffen Scholarship here too!
Congrats! When did you interview?

Phone!congrats! did you hear via email or phone?
Got the travel award after my interview. Didn’t ask for it (I didn’t even know that was available)Did you ask admissions for it, or was it just auto-awarded to you? I got FAP for the application, but no travel award
Did you get an email as your notification or a phone call from the dean??I heard back today! I uploaded an update like two weeks ago, had a bunch of new research I wanted to update on.

Can anyone share their experience as a married student here? I am getting married soon and am planning to live with my SO at whatever school I attend. However I am still very social and have a little bit of FOMO since I would not be living in Weyburn (which is for single students only, i believe). Are there perhaps off-campus apartments close by to the Weyburn apts to make me feel like I’m still part of the student community?

Isn't life supposed to end after getting married? ... but for real congrats on the marriage. I'm wondering the same thing about housing
If you want someone to talk to about how happy they are or the good and the bad of the school, I'm here to talk and happy to chat! And also honestly surprised that you heard this, I feel like I know a lot of the tour guides and can't imagine any of the ones I know saying that. Also, congratulations on your acceptance!!!!@ms UCLA goers
I was accepted 11/25, but I had kinda a weird interview experience. This was my dream school, but when I went, I didn't love it. During the tour, these other students yelled out to us, "Don't go here! It's hard." When I asked one of my interviewers about clinical/community/doctoring opportunities, he said that you kinda do it yourself. He made it sound like UCLA didn't emphasize these things that much, and you're supposed to already be great/do it on your own. When I asked him about what sets UCLA apart, he said that it was UCLA/it's the brand/prestige. I was really turned off! And everyone on this thread is talking about how the students are so happy, but my tour people compared to other schools I visited didn't seem like it as much. I think I'm still gonna go here/I'm stoked that I got in, but I kinda want to hear more about people's experiences/opportunities/the school.
Also where should I live?
Also should I bring my car? Am from the East coast, but I love driving
What are the people like? Are people pretentious? Do they like to hangout together?
I bolded the stuff that I'm curious about as well.
Does anyone know if they’re done sending out IIs?
Am also wondering this with respect to UCLA PRIME...Does anyone know if they’re done sending out IIs?
I got transferred to MD only from PRIME a couple weeks ago. I asked admissions whether this would affect my chances of getting an II for MD only this late in the game and they said that I should not be concerned as there are "sufficient spaces" if I were to be offered an interview. I'm not sure what to make of it but wanted to share with this groupAm also wondering this with respect to UCLA PRIME...
people offered an II for PRIME have until Dec. 3rd to respond--after this, maybe the people who did not get an II (like me), will be moved to MD only... But, if there are no IIs left, I am essentially rejected by UCLA (PRIME and MD only) already? hmm
Has anyone that interviewed mid-late Oct heard back yet?
I interviewed early October and haven’t heard anythingHas anyone that interviewed mid-late Oct heard back yet?
Interviewed around 10/9 and haven't heard anythingI interviewed early October and haven’t heard anything
Is there a place to leave our bags during the interview so I could go straight to the airport after?
Also, any general tips for the interview at this school?
Are they receptive to in the area request? I am coming from NY to SF and think SF may be close enough to LA??

7 hour drive if you leave at night when there’s no traffic
I really wish they were more transparent about their decisions post-interview. A couple of cycles ago, my friend interviewed sometime in October and didn't hear anything back until he started medical school in August, where it was a rejection.
46 hour bike ride for those wanting a little exercise between interviews to de-stressOr 1.5 hour flight...same price as an east coast Amtrak if you do Southwest
Yes, it doesn't mean anything.Does everyone have a “UID” at the top of the portal by their name?
Congrats!ACCEPTED!! Interviewed 9/28
Received an email to check portal

Given that they are still releasing Sept acceptances right now, It seems logical that there is still a good batch of october acceptances coming out, hopefully soon.I interviewed 10/20 and am really hoping that they are starting to look at the October interviewers, as opposed to having already done so... October boys, I think the time is nigh.
What about prime II? Anymore gonna send out u know?I just called the admissions office and they said that "additional interview invites are still being sent out." When asked if mid-December will be the conclusion of the interview period she said "Yes, but additional days might be added, depending on what the committee wants and needs to do"
Hopefully a sliver of hope for some of us. ><
I'm sad to say, but earlier on the thread there were a few people who had interviewed in October that had gotten acceptedI interviewed 10/20 and am really hoping that they are starting to look at the October interviewers, as opposed to having already done so...

Unfortunately, I didn't ask about PRIME. But it might mean that those of us who did not get PRIME may still have a shot to be transferred to the MD review pile.What about prime II? Anymore gonna send out u know?
