Does UCSF auto send secondary to people with certain stats?

 

[xkcd6330]

Does UCSF prescreen?

Yeah, pretty heavily

 

[deleted688779]

Due to the lack of comments here, I'm assuming they haven't sent out secondaries yet?

Nope, I've been getting most of mine in the early waves as well.

Anyone know what their screen is?

Pretty sure they do a thorough holistic review of apps. I dont think there are stats cutoffs.

For the question: "If you are 2019 or earlier college graduate, please use the space below to tell us what you have done since completing your undergraduate degree. (350 words)"

Can I answer this question if I am graduating in December 2019 (and having a gap semester before medical school)?

For MSTP, are the MD prompts also included (elaborate on an activity)? Or does the recent research project essentially cover that?

Edit: for future reference, yes, this prompt is included for MSTP.
