I'm not sure! I saw someone post they have an interview for 1/16 so maybe not! 🙂

Oh yeah! I think that is the last one. I believe most schools are now on winter break, so maybe they could extend it after the new years (but before 1/16)

Are they giving out acceptances next month? They said February I believe but their site says January.

Most likely February given COVID and the fact that they have one more interview on 1/16. Although next month would be great.

Are there any current UCLA/Drew students on this thread? Would like to message to ask a couple of questions.
are we allowed to use papers and pens during the MMI interview?
don't think so

Should we expect to hear of any As this month? On their website is says Jan.
That would be awesome if we started hearing back this month, but they said mid-Feb at the interview so idk if the website is up-to-date

Is there a difference between this school and DGSOM? Would we technically be UCLA students with a medical degree from UCLA? As far as white coats, are they Drew or UCLA white coats? I know that clinical years we have to do rotations at different locations than DGSOM students but what else is different?

Thank you so much!You get a medical degree from both UCLA and Charles Drew University. You get two of everything so you would have two white coats one UCLA one Drew also two white coat ceremonies. The First 2 years at UCLA last 2 doing rotations in hospitals in underserved areas but I believe you can choose where you want your rotations. You have the same opportunities as regular DGSOM students.
Read this whole post answers many questions!
UCLA PRIME (Westwood/DGSOM) vs. UCLA PRIME-Drew (UCLA/Charles Drew University)
Trying to decide between the programs. I wish I had a better understanding between the differences between DGSOM and CDU/UCLA, but thinks change a bit when considering the additional support given at PRIME. It seems like UCLA Prime-Drew comes with more BENEFITS than just UCLA Prime, but what are...forums.studentdoctor.net

When is this interview? Is it the last one for this cycle?
Well, I can't sign up so I don't know when exactly it will be and I don't think anyone knows if its the last wave of the cycle.

Got it. For some reason I thought they were done already and are getting ready to release decisions soon.
From what I can gather from previous posts, they release decisions in February. Pretty sure being invited in January is considered unusual for this school but I'll take it.

Congratulations nonetheless! UCLA is a great school
Thank you, I've seen you on a lot of the same feeds I've been on so I imagine we have a lot of overlap. Good luck to you!

Thank you! And thanks for responding! Super new here lol I actually made this account an hour ago just to ask about this issue
Haha no worries, I did a similar thing like last week. No response yet. Previous posts make it seem like they aren't very responsive to emails or calls.
They sent me a new email with a link and it worked! Good luck to you.

Good luck to you, as well! It worked for me as well, however when I click the dropdown to select a date there are no dates that appear. Are you having this problem as well?

No, I chose a date. I'm sorry it's not working for you, maybe it's worth giving them a call.
I interviewed here last fall and admissions encouraged note-taking during MMIs as long as you shred/trash the notes immediately afterwards to ensure equitable interviews for future applicants! I barely took notes given the limited interview time, though!
Are you interviewing on 1/15 or did they add another date ?
Pretty sure my date said 1/16 but now I feel uncertain. I know they do weekend interviews but I didn't receive any confirmation email.
Ahh. yes, I meant 1/16. Good luck! see you there!

Hi! if you dont mind me asking when did u submit ur secondary?
I actually don’t know exactly because they never sent me a confirmation that it was submitted and I didn’t keep track of that. But it had to be early October or late September based on when I got sent the secondary.
