@NaijaBoy98 and @ilikethebeemovie and @boulderdoc1​

What interview dates are left available? I have been complete for a long time and just waiting, very nervous!

Same here...

 

[k4te]

Got the pre-II R this evening. Good luck everyone!

 

[On The Move]

Pre II R earlier today. Complete 8/20. It’s all good. Onward and upward. Good luck everyone!

 

[boulderdoc1]

Same here...

I signed up for 12/7. The only other date I saw was early-mid January (don't remember what that date was).

Yay congrats! Wow I’m surprised they’re still scheduling for 12/7. I believe people invited at the end of September were scheduling on that date too.

 

[med123help!]

Correct me if I'm wrong -- there have been no post II decisions since October 15th?

 

[deleted1076485]

Pre-II R, IS. gl to the rest of yall

there was 1 A reported here about 2 weeks ago now.

I was surprised too! I wonder if some people declined IIs after getting As elsewhere, opening up some 12/7 dates?

It almost seems like with actual interviews, they are on par/slightly faster than last cycle but with actual decisions, its so slow. Do yall think its because they need to review VITA?

I hope not —- I feel like I did terribly on VITA ... I’m still cringing about it omg

On a real note though, I was looking at last year’s thread, and I saw a lot of A’s for Oct/Nov interviews came in Jan/Feb and A’s for Dec interviews came in March/April so I don’t think it’s that much slower?

 

[boulderdoc1]

I got an email from VITA and am confused.... does this need to be scheduled or can you take it whenever you want?

Have you already done a VITA interview? I think UCLA has a timeframe to complete it but you can take it anytime during that timeframe. I already did a VITA interview before getting a UCLA II so I didnt need to worry about it

I believe it's within 2 weeks of the invite. It says on the "Virtual Interview Candidate Guide" attached to the email they send you.

Edit: dang it I quoted the wrong person haha oops.

I haven't! My other schools don't require it.

Thanks for letting me know!

Thank you! Just got confused because the VITA email said they would send a separate email with my interview link, but that I can also start the interview from that email. A bit weird!

 

[en_al_zo]

Dang, I really hoped some A's were going to go out today.

 

[Golgi99]

There’s still time!

 

[nycccpremed]

There’s still time!

I know there’s nothing we can do but I really wish they gave us some sort of timeline... waiting for months is not a mood

 

[Tacocalifornia]

Dang, I really hoped some A's were going to go out today.

I think last year they usually emailed and called around 1 PM PST.

 

[Mr.Blackdoc.5]

Received the R today. Completed application on 10/6/20. OOS.

Best of luck to everyone else applying!

 

[Golgi99]

Any A’s today?

 

[nycccpremed]

:'( not today I guess

 

[z12332]

Any A’s today?

I wonder how representative the group on here is. Only 3 As reported so far.

 

[Tacocalifornia]

UCLA pls

 

[10thousndhrs]

Any A’s today?

Not a peep from UCLA

(at least for me - interviewed on 10/2)

[Tanhauser]

A, 9/15 interview, seems to be a flood of them today.

Edit: In case anyone gets the email without the phone call, they ended up calling me the next day.

 

[z12332]

AHHHH so many As! Congrats to everyone! So exciting.

Edit: if anyone wants to chat about DGSOM I’d love to connect

Congrats to everyone who got accepted! Did Dean Lucero call, and how do you think y'all did on your vita?

 

[cocobab2]

Congrats everyone! Completed II 9/24, got an interview invite 11/5, will interview on 12/7!

How did y'all prepare for the interview? And for those who have already interviewed, what should I expect for the interview day? Lastly, I would greatly appreciate any advice or recommendations for the interview day!!

 

[csp234]

II just now. Applied MSTP and got rejected but application was rerouted to MD only. Guess that actually works sometimes? lol

[csp234]

Thanks! Originally complete 7/21, moved to MD only consideration on 9/18

Also interested in hearing how accepted applicants felt about their VITA!

 

[Tanhauser]

I wasn't too thrilled with how I thought my VITA went.

 

[Orims]

Also interested in hearing how accepted applicants felt about their VITA!

Thought my VITA wasn't that good to be honest. My two As (UCLA) included are from VITA schools. Perhaps I was a bad judge of my own performance or the schools didn't mind too much about it.

 

[studentloans4ever]

II today! Also rejected from MSTP (9/18)

 

[z12332]

Also interested in hearing how accepted applicants felt about their VITA!

To echo what most are saying here- I didn’t feel too great about my VITA. Or at least felt like I could’ve done a lot better. I bet they’re probably pretty lenient given the odd one-way video format. Seems more like a screening tool than something more heavily weighted in decision making.
