I got an acceptance call yesterday on Feb 3rd. My interview was on Jan 15th. Good luck everyone!

 

[metricshadow12]

Interviewed today, super nervous but I think it went okay. Anyone know how many A's they've given so far or estimated? Thanks

Sometimes I wonder if I shouldn't have voided my SJT.... Did anyone who didn't take the SJT get an II? I grew up in the greater Sacramento area and have strong ties to Davis but nothing except silence so far

Yes. I got an interview and didn’t take the SJT. There’s still time though So don’t beat yourself up

I was accepted and did not take the SJT (I refused to succumb to yet another institutional barrier smh). I don’t think interviews will be over for another two months, so keep your head up!

I don't think they are really taking SJT into consideration, as per their FAQ page: https://health.ucdavis.edu/mdprogram/admissions/pdfs/SJT-FAQ.pdf

Hi!! For everyone who interviewed, did you send thank you emails or anything?

 

[sr4b]

I've been reaching out to current students and appear to be getting ghosted. Really struggling on how to get a sense of the culture at this school 😥

Any idea on the estimated numbers of A’s so far?

Not quite sure, but I know interviews are being conducted in April

 

[iwanttogrowamustache]

Any idea on the estimated numbers of A’s so far?

So far there’s a little over 50 people in our Facebook page. Looks like there’s still a lot of seats to fill!

Hey there, I didn’t send thank you emails and still got in! I don’t think it will impact your application.

 

[Nvrgiveup01]

Wow II just now! Complete early September.

 

[J.Lowry]

Thank you! im hoping thats the case too!!!!

Can anyone speak on the MMI interview here? Of course I know you can't go into detail but was it on the easier side or pretty difficult?

 

[metricshadow12]

Hi!! For everyone who interviewed, did you send thank you emails or anything?

I sent just a general thank you for your time I appreciate everything stuff to the ad com email. I didn't include any names or anything just a general thank you to everyone. It probably doesn't make a difference, but I was genuinely thankful for the smooth process lol.

I would say for me I was pretty nervous about it, but it was much smoother than I thought it would be. Don't be scared of it, embrace it as a way to show who you are and how you adapt to situations and you'll do fine! Practice with seeing both sides of issues, and look at example answers on google, I found those helpful.

Thanks for the input! How long after the interview do they let you know if you've been accepted?

They said 3-4 weeks so I'm still waiting lol

 

[Nvrgiveup01]

The wait is always the hardest lol. I hope interviewing this late in the game isn't interviewing for a WL position. Did they say the class is full already?

No they didn't say anything about it haha, im feeling the same way tbh but I hear their waitlist has decent movement so as long as it's not an R theres still hope lol

I took the SJT and apparently I'm not very ethical, but I got the II!

 

[Nvrgiveup01]

Same, I did horribly on the SJT but still got an II. I doubt they are using it this cycle.

I did well on it but no II. So I think they are honest about not using it for any interview decision haha

 

[wishful_thinker9]

Just got the interview WL email! Complete 7/14... there is hope again!

 

[kt_968]

Just got a pre-II rejection email :/ complete sometime in October. Good luck to everyone still waiting

 

[metricshadow12]

Any other 2/5 interviewees tweaking out about now??????

 

[SplashMamba]

So I filled out the post interview survey, but when I clicked the link in the email again, it allows be to submit the survey again. I think during the interview they mentioned that you need to complete the survey to move your application forward, but I wasn't sure if they are able to track this given that it allows me to complete the survey again. Is this the case for everyone else?

Has anyone who interviewed on 1/25 got any feedback yet??

[futuredoctor223]

I had my interview on 01/29 and I haven't heard anything.

 

[theywontseeuswaiting]

If I interviewed early Feb for Davis, but when should I hear back? Thanks

 

[metricshadow12]

they said 3-4 weeks, so i was hoping it would be this week (3rd week) but it seems like jan interviews hadn't heard yet so now im less hopeful:/

 

[Butteredbread]

anyone have insights on how mdphd admissions will work? it's stated that decisions are dependent on both school of med and mdphd committee, latter of which won't release decisions until all applicants are interviewed. however could one potentially be admitted into som first (following the 3-4 week timeline) or do you think they would just waitlist until mdphd results are out?

 

[premedhopeful333]

Same fam, same. Last 4 weeks have been hell, now gotta wait another 2 months.... T.T

+1 for WL. Hope we all make it through. I have no idea how their movement is though or how many people are on the WL.
