Anyone else still waiting for a secondary? Is it a silent R at this point? 🙁

complete late august and nothing yet
Same here. Still hopeful though 😉
No IIs anywhere yet. Feeling really hopeless 🙁
It's tough cycle to say the least. I'm complete on ~45 schools with only one II. Keep the faith

SAME
one II and five rejections (+2 holds). this is agony
Can you put a finger on what you think is keeping you from getting more II's ? I feel I have a strong enough app (though not bullet-proof by any stretch), so pretty surprised I don't have a couple more than just the one.

Does anyone know if theres a FB group for the entering class yet?
This is definately not a normal cycle, things are going way slower than normal. Don’t lose hope yet, you got this!

I'm truly not sure... my one II was a top 10 school but I haven't received any other IIs... applied to 35 schools
Also I'm a CA resident and Asian which doesn't help

i want that scrumptious II
Anyone aware of when UCI is planning on releasing their next decisions?
hey everyone, just wanted to get an opinion on something. if we haven't received a secondary at this point in time, is it safe to say it's a silent R? thanks, and congrats for those who did get II/acceptances!

For anyone who has submitted an update to UCI, did you stick to the rule of 500 characters or less with spaces? Seems like that is barely a sentence and I want to write more.
Definitely wrote more, when I asked admissions they just said keep it short. I wrote about a paragraph, probably 850-1000 characters.
Oops I sent a whole ass letter, didn't realize there were guidelines oof

This is interesting...if I count right, there are four of you that received pre-II R in the last hour or so. And most / all appear to have what I consider to be very high / exceptionally high stats. Is this a classic case of yield protection ?
Idk maybe yield protection based on mcat, def not gpa for me. Pre-II R now too, 3.4x, 52x and IS 🙁
Got R as well.

Same here, I think we gotta be ready for that Thanksgiving R. It's always better to expect the worst
