Secondary Received today! IS Norcal no tires to Socal
+1Secondary this morning! CA. ORM.
I just pulled up my amcas app and used the values on there - foolproofHow are you guys converting quarter to semester units for the pre-req section? Divide by 1.5?
But what are they reviewing? They also just say "verified AMCAS applicants"- but who knows, UCR seems to be doing their own thing this cycle haha.After initial review of applications, secondary application invitations will be released on a continual basis to verified AMCAS applicants within the next two weeks.
That sounds like screening but maybe not
My email does not say a 1 one week deadline? It says by December 18th. This is weird.Secondary received. IS, verified on 8/6
That 1 week deadline though SHEEEEEESH
They’re confusing everyone! From the email, it mentioned that “based off initial review, we believe you may be a good fit for our program“ lol like what??But what are they reviewing?

You're right, I missed that on their email! Maybe they're being vague on purpose haha.They’re confusing everyone! From the email, it mentioned that “based off initial review, we believe you may be a good fit for our program“ lol like what??
Read it more closely and same hahaMine says both:
We ask that you complete your secondary application within one week.
The deadline to complete this application is December 18th, 2020. It is in your best interest to complete the application as soon as possible.
So maybe the 1 week is a recommendation?
I used my AMCAS conversionDo we have to convert quarter hours into semester hours if our transcript is in quarter units? All the directions are so vague
Use your verified AMCAS for the units! They already convert them for you.Do we have to convert quarter hours into semester hours if our transcript is in quarter units? All the directions are so vague
they were looking for humanities courses that "emphasize culture, ethics, public health, spiritual practices, and other aspects of diversity" so I only entered courses that fit that criteriaFor the Humanities/Social science course requirements is it correct to include economics or music as a course for this section? I googled social science and humanities courses and those showed up
From the FAQ section on the secondary portal:Would it be worth it to submit the secondary if you didn't take 3 credits of Spanish? Are they pretty stringent on that?
Would intercultural communication count lmao...... I feel like I may add like 2 courses that MAY count just in case 😉they were looking for humanities courses that "emphasize culture, ethics, public health, spiritual practices, and other aspects of diversity" so I only entered courses that fit that criteria
What grade are you guys putting for AP courses? Other? Credit?
+1@Tetines of Paris same thing happened to me
Is anyone else really annoyed that we have to add the completion date to each class we upload .... so much extra work
My email does not say a 1 one week deadline? It says by December 18th. This is weird.
yeah I did that too 🙂 I have just taken lots of classes so it takes that much longer to input, are you all adding all classes that you did well in or just the minimum required?It's probably gonna turn out that there was an easier way to do it but I literally was looking up academic calendars from previous years and just choosing when the semester ended as the date.
When were you verified!Secondary this morning! CA. ORM.
I believe 4 quarter units = 2.70 semester hoursMy AMCAS hours aren't converted for quarter units. Like 4 quarter units still show up as 4 credit hours on AMCAS, but UCR is asking for semester hours. What should I do?

Are you sure you were looking at your official AMCAS application because mine does show the semester hours?My AMCAS hours aren't converted for quarter units. Like 4 quarter units still show up as 4 credit hours on AMCAS, but UCR is asking for semester hours. What should I do?
