"on or after 9/27" - they don't have the ability to screen future applicants yet. Maybe in the future ;)
I think you meant 8/27. I was verified on 8/20 and still waiting for a secondary. I think they have been slow this year.

And they only send it to screened applicants , don’t they? Hopefully we haven’t been screened out.

Yes, they only send secondaries to screened applicants. Hopefully not as this school is one of my top choices. I am a reapplicant and I got one last year with a much weaker application than this year. Not sure what's going on lol. I am just patiently waiting and hoping for the best. As long as we have not received a rejection, we still have a chance.
 
just got the secondary! I was afraid they might skip me over due to my low stats (3.3-3.4 cgpa and 510 MCAT). IS, but no IE connections and with a strong history of working with those underserved.

Anybody has a rough estimate of how many interviews vs secondaries they send?

When did you send your primary?
 
Received a secondary today as well(It's been over a month since I got verified) Can anyone weigh in on whether it would be worth it to submit a secondary at this point?

You passed an initial screen so i would say it's worth it even if it would be considered late by normal standards
 
II!!! They had a date in October, complete 8/2. Strong fit with mission. This is my top choice

For applicants who completed 8/28 > , any word of secondary invitations/rejections?
 
Can anyone who’s interviewed/current med students comment on interview day? Do they provide breakfast, how long is the walking portion of the tour (it’s still hot here in Riverside), etc.

They have plenty of snacks throughout the day, but I had an afternoon interview so can’t comment on the breakfast part. The med school is just a single building so you will not have to walk outside at all during the tour.

No, I have not received a secondary or rejection from them. Surprisingly I got a secondary from UCSD today (verified on 8/20). So just keep your hope up. If we havent gotten rejected we still have a chance (even if it’s a 1% chance lol)

Super chill and the staff/interviewers did a good job at making you feel comfortable. I prepped by doing a couple MMI questions and watching videos on YT and felt prepared. It was a lot of fun. Beyond that I can’t share anything because of the NDA!

Class size is 70, around 120 acceptances are offered. They are interviewing 264 students like last year. School is expanding their mock exam rooms and sim lab to the library (bigger area).

Some new things they’re implementing this year is graded second year weekly assessments that will be now USMLE questions (not prof written) to help students prepare for Step 1. Y 1/2 are P/F and year 3-4 H/P/F. You have the option in 3rd year to do TWO selective rotations at another UC campus and it won’t count as one of your aways (super helpful for those thinking of specializing). The staff and faculty were super nice and I really fell in love with the school! All the students I met were from Riverside county or went to UCR. They repeatedly stressed that they want to train physicians to stay in the IE.

Also super important - they will reject students after the interview if they are no longer considering your app. In previous years you were put on a waitlist and reconsidered throughout the year but that is no longer the case.

If I can snag an interview as a non IE native that would be super cool. Sounds like they are with the times with the USMLE questions and optional UC rotation. Good luck I hope you get that acceptance!

Sorry what do you mean? The interview is just MMI. The dean gives presentations throughout the day and you're able to ask her any questions (she was super friendly).
