same here!I want to be included!
Aw man I am so disappointed!Was really looking forward to this since my tour on interview day wasn’t very good. Thanks for keeping us updated though! Do you by any chance know if the med school offers general tours? I live in the area, but was hoping to get a better idea of the main building since we didn’t see much on interview day. Also does student housing offer any tours? Was hoping to see that as well before committing to living there.
Again, thanks for all of your help and take your time with any response! We appreciate you keeping us all in the loop!![]()
Good idea hahah. Or a brave soul can post in the fb group that with the looming possibility of second look getting canceled we should all get to know each other moreI feel like someone should make a throwaway account and everyone should just DM them...
Whoever wants to run for class council this would be a great thing for your platform to say you took initiative to do this!!!!
Second look will be cancelled.
^housing tours better than the virtual one on my housing would be nice lol. I was hoping to see some of the facilities like sim center/anatomy labs etc. Didnt get a chance on interview day![]()
They don't show you where the anatomy labs or sim centers are because apparently there was a guy in the past who sold organs from the anatomy lab. I assume people were sneaking in there during off hours and stole them. I personally know a current DGSOM student and he refused to even tell me where the anatomy lab is besides a vague "CHS building" identification
It's against the rules to give tours of the anatomy lab. Only those with ID access are allowed to enter the lab.
I'm unaware of any situation of "organ stealing".
I am unsure why the current student you know refused to tell you where the anatomy lab is though, considering the information is posted online.
Not sure and aren't THAT interested to know where the anatomy lab is so I stopped asking lol. A lot of other med schools have let us walked through the anatomy lab during the interview though with cadavers covered up so I didn't understand why it was such a big deal but I guess different schools have their own policies
Anyone else waiting on travel award reimbursement? I interviewed way back in November
Interviewed in November as well. Did they give you any idea of when they were planning on sending it? They told me it would take some time back in January lol

I received around 30k this year for need based aid. I was also hoping for input from current students if this amount will tend to stay the same considering my income will obviously decrease and my parents will stay the same?Can any accepted student comment on need-based financial aid? Does it consist of only loans or are there scholarships and grants? I am in-state if that makes a difference and 'm specifically asking about need-based. Feel free to PM me if you'd rather not make details public.
I recently received a significant aid package from one of my other acceptances. However, UCLA remains my top choice out of the schools I interviewed at. I would write a letter of intent and I would definitely love to attend if accepted. Even if they only match a portion of the scholarship, I'd attend, however, I don't know if my decision would be the same if they literally gave me $0 + all loans. Feel free to offer your thoughts on this too.
Are the deans still present on campus, or is everyone working remotely now?
anyone else still waiting?
Got the A this week!!! Literally so surprised given everything else going on right now. Interviewed in December and my portal didn't update until after I got the email from admissions. Anyone else who hasn't yet heard either way--there may still be hope!

Were you a December interviewee?
Hi Louie, would you mind sending me a private message. I have a question if you don't mindHi friends,
Louie here from the StART team. I just want to let you know that we are actively communicating with the admission office trying to sort this out as soon as possible! At this moment, we have not received any updates from the admission office to officially canceled the second look nor a plan to make the event online or postpone. Once we have any information, we will be making an official post in the Class of 2024 Facebook Page. An email from the Admission Office will also be sent to all accepted students.
anyone hear back about getting their travel reimbursement? not sure if I should email them at this point, I submitted my documentation back in late december/early january I think

Has anybody been accepted off of the waitlist? If so, how long do you have to respond? I'm wondering if waitlist movement after the April 30 deadline will have a shorter requested response timeline.
Congrats!accepted off the waitlist! waitlisted with "near the top of our waitlist" email in February
early NovemberCongrats!
If you don’t mind me asking, when did you interview?
Accepted off of the waitlist this morning! November Interview, "top of waitlist" in February, and got the phone call this morning. So happy and very much still in shock.
Also just wanted to say thanks to everyone on this page. Never posted until now, but have been watching (stalking?) this page for months and it was nice to know that other people were going though the same situations/emotions/speculations as me. Fingers crossed for everyone still waiting!
Hopefully you’re next!HUGE congrats to everyone who got in todayya'll ROCK

Is there an optimal time to send a letter of interest/update letter? Should I do it before May 1st, or after?

I sent my update/letter of interest as soon as I had a meaningful update because I figure the sooner it is added to my file the more likely it is to be seen when they start re-reviewing applications on the WL.
Wondering about this as well. In my experience, the admissions email is very unresponsive, if at all.By sent, do you mean you just uploaded it to the portal, or did you also send a copy to the admissions office via email?
