2019-2020 UC San Diego

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
To those who got interview invites already, how many characters were your Autobiographical Sketch?
 
To those who already got Interviews at UCSD, how many days did it take from your file being complete to your II email?
 
II! Anyone else do the GHAC? I'm wondering what the difference between the interview process might be, if there is a difference.
 
Does 3 weeks make a huge difference in picking the interview dates? (I'm worried because I couldn't pick the mid-September dates since I'm not available for any of those, instead it's early October)

My 6 week mark is tomorrow so I pretty much hit the mark without hearing back yet.

Their email makes it seem like they’ll get back to you in 6 weeks if your invited for an ii or placed on hold. Otherwise it says they can get back to you whenever if they chose not to invite you. I’m taking it as a soft R once the 6 week mark passes

It could be that the 6 week deadline is something they aren't following strictly. Maybe they just haven't gotten to our files yet..let us keep the hope alive lol

I am as of yesterday. They may mean anything under 7 weeks, rather than exactly 6 whole weeks though.

Edit: from an initial email I think we all received from the UCSD dean of admissions

"After we receive your completed secondary application and fee payment, if typically takes 3 - 8 weeks for us to notify you of your status regarding a possible interview invitation. "

This says 3-8 weeks, as opposed to 2-6. Perhaps it's really more like 3-8 weeks, as that initial email said, considering the dean referred to the subject line as "FAQ".

I did not get that dean email
 
Does UCSD send a "we received notification from AMCAS" about primaries also? I still haven't received a secondary- would it be okay to call or email? Or just wait for the R in March..

Make sure to check you spam folders etc.. You can always ask to see if they have sent you secondary. Provide your AMCAS ID number.
 
does anyone know if UCSD "prioritizes" processing of their alum?

if any UCSD graduates in this thread could provide insight to their processing turnaround, that'd be awesome (i know there are a lot of confounding variables)
