I hear that apparently UCSD requires some forms/paperwork to be filled out before the interview. Also it says you need to bring some documents. Does anyone know anything about that?

 

[perfect weather]

II! IS. Super excited 🙂

me too!

Just filled mine out. One is a statement of legal residence and the other is a confidentiality form for the MMIs

Hold, complete 7/24

 

[the_expert]

Hold. Complete 7/19. Is this just a soft R?

 

[notthrowingawaymyshot]

Hold, complete 7/24

I read last year's thread and it looks like some people actually got interviews after the hold status sometime in February...very small chance but I guess it's not over until it's over lol

 

[sailotto]

Hold as well. 4 pre interview holds and 2 rejections with no interviews. I hate my life

[Uphir]

Please don't think that way. This is a tough process. You are not alone, and it's not over. SDN is very skewed by applicants "bragging" successes... you are in the majority with your situation and are still VERY MUCH in the game! We all have your back and are here to support you. DO NOT lose hope in this crazy process!

I've been trying to mentally rephrase "hold" in my mind from a depressed and monotoned perspective to this:

 

[autorocks2]

Hold as well. IS with LM - 75

This was basically one of my top 3 choices 🙁

UCSD has a history of giving soft R and not an outright R. You can read threads from past years.

Anyone receive a hold today who was complete around 8/10?

 

[sailotto]

Thank you for the positivity. Definitely need some of that right now

It doesn't seem like they've gotten to us August folks, yet.

 

[sailotto]

I received one. I was complete 8/10

Edit- NVM I was done 7/10

 

[medcraze]

Complete 7/25 and haven't heard anything. Is that their subtle way of a hard R since I didn't even get a hold email like it seems a lot of other people did who submitted at the end of July?

Same! Gang gang

That may be true but I'm not gonna count on it. All of my friends from the last cycle that were put on hold at UCSD didn't get an II. It sucks that UCSD does that. I'd rather get the R instead of false hope, you know?

True! Would definitely rather know sooner than delay the eventual R

 

[peanuttbuttah]

seems like they are super behind that 2-6 week timeline described in the complete email. Anybody complete in August hear back yet?

i give it seven weeks and then i would be worried. so next week if you got the secondary invite beginning or end of July.

 

[sfcd321]

I haven’t received any hold yet and was complete 7/13. I’ll probably be expecting that hard R soon.

 

[82Scout]

complete email 7/24 still haven't heard anything yet. Keep the faith lol

 

[Schrodinger's Chat]

Hold, OOS. Complete 7/24.

 

[MedSchoolProspect101]

I hadn't even thought about that! I was expecting a Hold but yes, there is probably a hard R coming for me as well.
Oh well!

 

[EDVIP]

Hold, IS, complete 7/23

 

[Schrodinger's Chat]

Have any rejections been sent out yet?

 

[pugpy_dawg]

Joining the hold gang. Oh well!

 

[proudofmykids]

Applied last week (OOS). I received a secondary the next day and just submitted it today. Really hoping for some traction there.
Non-Trad / Military Veteran
cGPA 2.89 / MCAT 520

Gpa typo?

 

[strappysandals]

Got put on hold. Is this a soft R here?

 

[studentdoctornetworque]

Steamy take: to adhere to 8 week claim, they give everyone at that mark a hold to stave off emails/pressure.

 

[mzlipton]

II today! Totally wrote off hearing back after 6, then 8 weeks passed. Complete 7/15, so that's 9 weeks. there's hope people. stay strong!!!

 

[starlord005]

hitting six weeks this week 😛

 

[Fr4nklin]

MSTP II this week! I'm still shaking

 

[premed20172017]

No GPA typo. My cGPA is 2.89.

It doesn't tell the whole story though as I'm a non-trad and decades ago had to take three semesters worth of solid Fs due to some serious extenuating circumstances. I returned to college 20 years after I started and have a 4.0 GPA over the past 3.5 years finishing two BS's. So, while the cGPA really is an abysmal 2.89, my file benefits from the "holistic" view and the MCAT reflecting my more recent GPA.

Still I'm surprised that I'm getting secondaries from some of these schools that I really really would love to attend! Now, IIs... applying this late and with my baggage - yet to be seen.

Congrats! Hopefully they continue to evaluate us holistically throughout the process! Good luck to you!

 

[Ldh15]

Anyone know if there are traditional interviews built into the day or in the MMI stations?

If they don't, it's their loss! 😛

No traditional interviews (and no rest station either )

 

[Ldh15]

Ok thanks. So don’t even bother preparing “why UCSD?”
