Fair enough! Congrats on making the decision to pursue medicine 🙂

Dear pals,

If I apply to PRIME and get an interview, will I only be considered for the PRIME program? Or will I also be considered for the main pool? Many thanks!

Who the hell knows...?
Why don’t you just email the school

 

[Bigmedicineguy]

Any point in sending a primary here or just too late to get a secondary back at this point?

 

[proudofmykids]

When does the 3-10 week period begin?
Plain Amcas verification (early June), OR verification +Mcat score received date (early July).
UCSF OOS is only secondary not received of 22 primaries. Fortunate to already have 3 IIs. (LM 83)

LM 83? Give us mortals a chance. You will probably get one eventually.

[gruffgoat]

I did two activities

were your activities related? if not did you try to connect them?

 

[aayz345]

Finally received! Verified 7/11, IS

 

[aayz345]

Did all of you answer prompt 2? I don’t really have any updates and feel like I explained my activities thoroughly in my primary

Would also like to know this

 

[aayz345]

1500/month. And that was average among my classmates as well.

Was this for your own BR? Or shared

 

[deleted996731]

Just received my secondary reconsidering if I should even apply

 

[Skeletorr]

Secondary received about an hour ago.

In SF, $1500/mo should be for one whole bedroom within a multi bedroom apartment. However, might be 2, 3, or 4 bedrooms per bathroom.

Living in SF isn’t to bad. Lived here all my life and definitely hoping to remain here.

From the Bay Area. It’s a great place minus the traffic haha

Just got back from SoCal, our traffic is easy to get through in comparison. 3miles took 42 minutes in LA, it’s ridiculous

Secondary received (8/14), verified 7/15

 

[zeerabiscuit]

Secondary got! Verified 7/16, OOS ORM

 

[somuchforhms]

I was almost typo free this season but just submitted after what I thought was a thorough re-read. Somehow after reading my essay 5x I didn’t notice I said “University of San Francisco School of Medicine” until after I submitted

 

[TheNmaitochondria]

Secondary received 8/14. Verified 7/15, OOS URM

 

[strappysandals]

any day now....

 

[deleted987519]

any day now....

You have not received secondary? or waiting for II?

 

[strappysandals]

You have not received secondary? or waiting for II?

Itching for the II lol.

 

[somuchforhms]

any day now....

you have 11 interview invites??

 

[calipremed5768]

It really does seem to be feast or famine when it comes to getting interviews. On SDN it seems like everybody has interviews while on reddit premed every third post is about having no IIs

 

[calipremed5768]

Next June people will still be writing “Don’t worry it’s still early! Relax” on the reddit

I wonder what the lurker ratio is on sdn though; I mainly just lurk but just started posting recently. Gotta rep for the no II gang

Same here

 

[calipremed5768]

I just lurk the reddit but to me it seems like the blind leading the blind. Here you get verified expert opinions. They also overuse “muh neurotic premed attitude. I’m very neurotic guys trust me.” At least here it’s used in proper context when it’s warranted.

I'm still repping the no secondary gang O.O trying to stay hopeful...

 

[ayjaystudent]

To those who got secondaries already, how many days did it take for you to get it after UCSF received your primary?

 

[deleted996731]

About a month

 

[jecki46]

I called UCSF last week. They release secondaries in order of primary receipt in almost all cases. They are currently up to around 7/15 7/16 or so. Relax.....!

ETA: this is what the woman told me and it has been holding true so far.
