Oh dang, I submitted end of Aug lol. But congrats on the II and good luck!!!!

 

[veenasaur]

I have completed my secondary on 7/24. Haven't heard anything from UCSD. Does any body have any idea what is it mean? This is my first choice school.

I submitted my secondary on 7/20 and haven't heard anything yet either. We just gotta hang in there

LM 70... though they're going MCAT blind right?

I believe you're correct! Congrats again

 

[lovepickles]

When do you think the first As will be sent out?

When do you think the first As will be sent out?

Mid-Nov, week before Thanksgiving.
Edit: through email, they said they don't call anymore

I think interview invites are MCAT blind, but acceptances require MCAT. Can anyone confirm or deny?

 

[youngking]

Anybody who interviewed already have any feedback/advice on how to prep? Anything you would've done differently?

We signed a NDA so... just prep for a standard MMI.

 

[justagirlwithwords]

aren't we all...

I think a lot of schools are around the Dec/Jan timeframe rn, there are still definitely interview spots to be given out

Yeah i think the “thanksgiving rule” can be thrown out this cycle with all the delays.

 

[ToBeMD2025]

Got put on hold, welp

 

[bravemonwooper]

just got put on hold too lol, IS complete 8/4

 

[hopefulmdtobe]

Just got that pre-secondary R :/

 

[jb2000]

Hold. LM 78. OOS. 8/13

 

[sdsurfer]

Hold. LM 69. IS. complete 7/29.

 

[quickaskz]

did they send an email for the hold or is it through the portal?

 

[mocha-teas32]

Hold, complete early Aug.

 

[medemac]

Jeeze... UC San Diego is savage with the holds.. After a month of silence they come out of the woodworks like this.

 

[sdsurfer]

did they send an email for the hold or is it through the portal?

email

 

[spottedcory]

Hold, IS, PRIME applicant, dream school :'(

 

[eartharte]

For UCSD a hold is essentially a silent R right? How likely is it to get off of hold if you're pre-II?

 

[caffeinatedbiochemist]

do people ever get interviewed after being put on hold?

 

[igims]

Also on hold, Complete 7/24, OOS LM 68

 

[helloshelder]

Hold as well. Complete 7/28

 

[CherryPearl3]

On hold too, complete 8/12

 

[sdsurfer]

Do they outright reject? It seems like I've only seen holds.

 

[bravemonwooper]

here's what the email said:

The Committee initially makes one of three decisions. Applicants may be invited for an interview, placed on “hold” for an interview, or receive no further consideration for an interview.

You have been placed on “hold” for an interview. Our Committee will again review the applications of those on “hold” for an interview by mid-February 2021. We anticipate that additional interview offers will be extended at that time, but we are unable to assess/approximate the likelihood for any individual applicant. Applicants that will not be invited will also be notified by email of our decision.

so seems like a waitlist for interviews, basically

 

[CherryPearl3]

I just went through some reddit threads and apparently the hold is a soft R
Apparently almost no one gets pulled off it and about 2 years ago, no one did. It makes sense since they said they review in mid-Feb, which is really late and right before applicants start committing to schools

 

[bigsgr]

On hold too

 

[Microbe_Hunter]

Another one bites the dust... Hold gang here. RIP

[gradtown]

what time is the deadline to submit? is it like 11:59 pm one month later or 12 am one month later

How strict is the one month deadline? Will we be locked out of the portal? Is it right at 12 at the due date?

Did anyone figure this out? For the time of the deadline on the 1 month & strictness of the 1 month? Thank you!
