Members don't see this ad.

The UC’s in general are known for their slow and drawn out admissions cycles. I would stay hopeful since the interview season extends for another several months!

This. This right here. This I agree with.

received yesterday my secondary and submitted right away, weird of them to send out applications so late in the cycle... do you guys think there is a chance of getting an II??

yeah I’m sure you’ve got a shot. I think they interview until March, and pre-screen before secondary so they definitely you interesting enough to give you one!

what did the email say and when did you get it?

 

[imnotarobotwoohoo]

two years ago they sent it out on the first monday (October 16th) after October 15th, last year they had portal delays and waited until Thursday/Friday (around October 18th).

 

[MC2024]

what did the email say and when did you get it?

Yesterday. It had all the ways to help with tuition/scholarships. Then the breakdown of costs. Also at the end it stated...we hope you rank UC davis high on your admit list. Im not sure what to take of this email.

I interviewed mid august and got an email saying decisions for that interview date would "be sent out starting on october 15th"

may be yield protection?

 

[deleted993098]

Yield protection is pre-II tho. Idk maybe we didn't do too well on the MMI.

 

[GloballyMed]

may be yield protection?

Probably not. UCs are highly desirable so they can be picky. Also, it seems like UCD has a specific niche of students they prefer so you can be competitive statswise and still not get accepted.

 

[sailotto]

[notthrowingawaymyshot]

on february already

Oof, not looking too good for us who haven’t heard anything yet lol

 

[Coldwater_Adler]

I got the II yesterday!!! I am interviewing in February. I am so excited. Nervous about how late into the cycle my interview is, but super stoked as I really love this school

 

[medDaisuki]

I think last year they stopped sending IIs at the end of February. 🙁 It's weird they are still sending out secondaries when the spots are almost filled.

 

[lakerfan7]

Accepted! In-state, no ties to norcal. Interview date 9/27

 

[notthrowingawaymyshot]

Yeah I didn’t think they’d be scheduling into February this early already 🙁

Dont give up hope just yet. Remember people will be releasing their II as they hear back from more schools so you still have a chance of getting an II. Last year, I believe some people received II in Nov all the way to Jan. Until you get that R, I wouldn’t count yourself out of the running just yet.

Complete 9/3

 

[Coldwater_Adler]

Any idea as to how many spots will be left when I interview in February?

 

[medDaisuki]

Last year they accepted 119 students. This year on the MSAR website it says the estimated number of new entrants is 159 😵 Am I thinking too much, or??😵

I dont know. I am choosing to stay optimistic. Medical schools typically accept much more students than actually matriculate. Plus, I still have 15 other schools I am still waiting on. I was complete at most of them beginning of September.
512 MCAT, 3.85 GPA, competitive ECs

Any idea what that niche might be?

 

[GloballyMed]

Any idea what that niche might be?

They seem to love students who have strong connection to northern Cal or belong to the populations they intend to serve. This is obvious given the few specific programs they have for this purpose. Also, they like people who have a strong commitment to serving the underserved. The PRIME program is developed for this purpose so I would think students having experiences with the underserved are highly desirable. Obviously, there are other aspects they look for but these are some I have noticed.

I am still in no secondary land :/

LM 75, anyone else?
