Members don't see this ad.

Super random, but I just now received an interview invite. Secondary sent 10.08.2019, only date available to me is April 7th.

I want to be you.

pre-II R tonight

 

[zotzotzot]

Any talk about curriculum changes/any other changes in response to the Step 1 P/F decision?

Basic science courses will probably move to being even more clinically-relevant and less minutia-based!

 

[zotzotzot]

Where do most students live?

Most people live in Irvine or Newport (typically 5-10 mins from campus), some live in Costa Mesa. MS3s and 4s typically all move to Orange for clinical years so that they can be closer to the med center.

 

[zotzotzot]

Do you know many students in your class who came from the WL? MSAR says 50 are accepted from waitlist but that seems outdated.

I personally know a couple people in my class who got in off the WL pretty late in the cycle — just anecdotal evidence, but I’m sure there are more!

Pre-II R

 

[Beepboop88]

Got that fat R today. Goodbye California!!

 

[HelloMello912]

^thirded, pre-II R. Sigh - farewell, California sun!

 

[Gshah97]

Likewise, goodbye California 🙂

 

[utangboy123]

joining the R train — nice to finally hear back after being ghosted for months!!!! Gluck to everyone else still in the running

 

[m1redsox]

Took the pre-II axe with everyone else. Although, it's late February. It was prettymuch expected at this point.

 

[Adrenaline_Junkie]

Somehow still standing... why u do dis to me UCI. Just end it already.

does anyone happen to know when financial aid comes out?

 

[unluckyadhessiveness]

does anyone happen to know when financial aid comes out?

I called and they said they're hoping to have packages out sometime in March! Last year they came out in mid-april

ty! hopefully early march lol

 

[MD_2024]

Are waitlisted people completing the institutional finaid form, or waiting until hearing?

 

[djiboutiman]

I turned mine in! On another note, does anyone know roughly how many people they put on the WL? I’ve seen very few post II Rs reported.

MSAR says ~100 WL with ~50 offers off the waitlist. That was for the 2017-2018 cycle though, so possibly different last year and this year with the traffic day changes.

 

[MDMar10]

Is April 7th the last interview date?

 

[Supraorbital_Keyhole]

Any Jan/Feb interviewees have an idea of when people may be hearing back?

 

[drgoldenboy]

Is UCI still sending out II? I haven't received the R yet.

How long did it take for you guys to get the acceptance package in the mail?

 

[elonmusk]

Just got the call this morning! I'm beyond excited, especially since it's my first A in two cycles.

Interviewed in early February.

When should I be sending letters of intent, typically?

 

[djiboutiman]

When should I be sending letters of intent, typically?

It depends on the school. During my interview day, UCI said to send one in April. Just FYI, you should only send 1 letter of intent(especially if UCI is your top choice), but you can send multiple letters of interest.

 

[pizzapizzapizza]

WL on Tuesday - Interviewed early Feb would love to get off this one oof

 

[MedSchoolFeen]

Have there been any post-interview rejections? I’m wondering if they will call or email

Wow almost as many UCLA/Cedars-Sinai matches as UCI, if not more.

 

[unluckyadhessiveness]

Any new word on financial aid packages? Last I heard (in Feb) they were expecting all packages to be out in March. Wonder if it got delayed due to the corona virus.

 

[blurb_123]

What is the CTE date for UCI?

Based on the info on the portal it could either be 7/1 or 7/15?

 

[Fore7630]

Does anyone know how many people UCI accepts from their March interview dates?

 

[jollyjumper]

I got an R from UCI last night at 11:30 pm. Interview date was March 10th. Good luck to every one else!

 

[romeonachos]

WL here, interviewed early march! gl everyone!

 

[MedSchoolFeen]

I’m really sorry to hear that did they email you or you saw on your portal?

I got an email from them. I also saw the same email on my portal too.

 

[Adrenaline_Junkie]

Big fat pre-II R this morning!

 

[Syzz]

Anyone else from early march interview hear back? Any acceptances yet?

 

[Sam Losco]

Anyone else from early march interview hear back? Any acceptances yet?

They don't seem to go in completely chronological order. Some of the October interviewees still haven't heard back yet. They've been accepting/WL/R people from each date, but leave many without a decision before moving to the next interview date.

 

[sasquatch123]

Have people already gotten off/rejected from the waitlist? Or does waitlist movement only start after a certain date?

 

[Kawigirl]

Any news on financial aid release??

 

[unluckyadhessiveness]

Any news on financial aid release??

I was told (in Feb) they were hoping to release in March. Their FinAid site says they are still up and running despite Covid. Could be any day now!

 

[unluckyadhessiveness]

Received my offer! Beyond ecstatic

 

[DevinBookerMD]
