Has UCSF already released all of their secondaries or are they still screening? Has anyone still not received a secondary?

WARS 86, IS, went to school in the area, have not recieved a secondary. :'(

 

[emergencydancing]

LizzyM 82.5, IS, went to school in the area, have not recieved a secondary. :'(

We're more about the WARS here.

Their website says to expect secondaries between 3 and 10 weeks following transmission of your application to them. It’s barely been 2, don’t worry about it.

Thank you for the reassurance! I wanted to provide a n=1 bullet point so that others weren't worried either haha. I'm drowning in automatic secondaries so I can use the extra time lmao

Same here! I’ve yet to receive a few secondaries as well, but I’m more than happy to wait a bit longer!

My application won't be verified until the second week of August and my MCAT won't be back until the 3rd week. Y'all gave me a panic attack when I saw "did they give out all of their secondaries?" lol

 

[catsandscrubs]

Secondary received!

[urm-doc-here]

Can I ask when you were complete? And congrats! Seems like a good sign 🙂

 

[beefeedflowermix]

Secondary, IS! I'm really shocked I so expected to get screened out lol. WARS 74, LM 69 verified 6/08

What were ur stats if you don't mind me asking? we have the same LM and I still haven't gotten a secondary yet 🙁 Also, are you OOS?

 

[futureSurgeon98]

No problem! 3.8c/3.67s, 510, not URM. Nope, I'm from CA and the area, but I'm pretty sure UCSF doesn't have a huge in-state bias. Hang tight, these come out really gradually

gotchu, thanks. Congrats to you! 🙂

 

[GameOfZones]

For the update/expand upon your activities, do you think it would work to update them on how COVID has affected my activities here?

 

[dodoitlater]

Has anyone received an MSTP secondary? If so, could you post the prompts?

 

[raguramm]

Secondary received this AM, IS

 

[PotentialMed500]

Has any OOS applicant received a secondary yet?

 

[NavyBlueScrubs]

I’m getting no love from UCSF

Thanks! 🙂 My primary was verified 6/17!

 

[viralhiker]

Non-trad, OOS, 524 MCAT (unbalanced), WARS 75.
No secondary yet

 

[sarturo]

Non-trad, OOS, 524 MCAT (unbalanced), WARS 75.
No secondary yet

Fellow non-trad, local/IS, 519, WARS 90
Also no secondary 🙁

 

[finn1234]

1 gap year (not sure if that counts as true non-trad), OOS, 524 MCAT - still no secondary either

 

[princeoftennis]

did anyone else receive a secondary? Nothing on my end

 

[r2med]

OOS - no secondary yet

 

[youngking]

Am I the only IS applicant who hasn't gotten a secondary? 🙁

 

[Smareo]

No, you're not. I haven't gotten a secondary yet, and I'm also in-state and live in commuting distance to UCSF. I really think they're still just going through applications, as it takes a lot of time to do that. If we wait, we'll all be fine. I don't think not receiving a secondary yet says anything about our candidacy. It's still very early.

I second this! All the UCs screen heavily where someone actually reads your app first before sending a secondary and it usually comes down to when they get to yours/how fast they read!

+1. Their website also says that secondaries will be sent within 3-10 weeks of them receiving our primary. It's definitely still on the early end for them.

 

[electr!c]

Secondary just received, OOS

 

[balancedapp]

EDIT: submitted 5/28 not 6/28

Secondary received, OOS, 515/4.0, URM, submitted primary on 5/28 and verified 4 days later, transmitted on 7/10. Idk if anyone cares about all those stats but figured I’d offer them in case anyone is anxiously watching the forum and comparing stats (definitely been there for a few schools)

Dang your verification time was super fast

 

[aristrutz523]

In May, the verification times were way faster. they got backed up :/

Oh wait did you mean your primary was complete 5/28, not 6/28? If that's the case maybe UCSF is going through apps in the order people were complete because the people who got secondaries seem to have super early complete dates

[SoccerKeeper00]

For those who have received a secondary, have all of your letter of recommendations been submitted to AMCAS?

Yep, submitted to AMCAS, and shown as received in the UCSF portal.

 

[deleted1058832]

If we apply to the PRIME program but get rejected, we're still eligible to be accepted into UCSF's regular MD program, right?

 

[lovepickles]

secondary received yesterday! so excited 🙂

Yes! And I don't believe the MD adcoms will read your PRIME essay so that shouldn't have an effect (I could be wrong tho)

 

[ice cheems]

Secondary received yesterday (during the time I was taking the MCAT lmao). OOS, submitted 5/29, verified 6/19.
