what is you look OOS on AMCAS but you have significant ties here (parents moved there after I started college) I planned to mention this in my secondary but they have not sent me one? Do you think I could email them directly about this and ask for a secondary?
I would call them and ask instead of email. But generally my understanding is UCR doesn't accept OOS applicants period.
Thank you! I will do that!
congrats! when were you complete?
8/7
congrats! what were your stats if you don't mind me asking :3
ah, congrats!! Were you part of the haider program?
+1!
When were you verified?
7/14 iirc
You def have higher stats than me and I received my secondary last month, so they’re def screening and gave you one despite your no connection to the IE. If you align with their mission, I’d say go for it!
Congratulations!! Haider applicant?
congrats 😀 are you in the IE region
yes born and raised in the IE
As long as you're in California you have a chance. It more about fit if you are not from IE. Im not and got a secondary, but in terms of applying late, I dont think its worth it if youre trying to submit now.
it says in the secondary to fill them out within 2 weeks. should i call admissions or just try to submit?
I was in a post-bac program for 1 year that allowed me to maintain a longer upward trend in my grades. UCR is definitely holistic and takes into consideration trend in addition to overall GPA! I was also able to gain new ECs such as tutoring in underserved communities and strengthen by clinical experiences via scribing & volunteering. Lastly, I definitely wrote a MUCH better personal statement and gained better LORs. I was able to get a committee letter, which helped a lot in sharing my upbringing, struggles, and qualities.
Same! IE resident with 69 Lizzy M, completed 8/7 - still haven't heard anything 🙁
