Dude, these emails really tainted my view of the school. Like, not even getting bitter or anything that I haven’t heard back, just stop sending me these spam emails about your research, when you know the only email I want to see is an II or an R lol. Like, are you really so desperate for study participants that you have to pester your applicants? Just a bit tacky and annoying imo.
Unsubscribe, should be at bottom of email. Unless you want more of the stupid email

Above or under 516?
What dates? I can't believe they are still interviewing for only 50 spots

Only 3/4 was available.
Yeah same... I'm thinking they're interviewing for the waitlist at this point
As in tomorrow!? Damn, good luck!!
Good luck! I got my II the night before the interview. Hope you kill it

Did anyone who was complete in september get an II? Feel like i shot myself in the foot by lagging it
If you didn’t submit July, you’re not going to get an ii

I was complete in august and got an II - but yes primary app was done by end of June
If you don’t mind me asking, were you MD or MSTP?
That's not right. I submitted MD/PhD in October and received an II. Note that Kaiser/Caltech is not yet MSTP since they are new.
I think that if you’re just regular MD, you needed to have submitted in July/early August to have a shot at this school. I’m not sure exactly what’s going on, but the vast majority of regular MD applicants at Kaiser that are getting IIs submitted their app in July. Same thing is happening at UC Irvine as well. Most regular MDs that got IIs submitted in July (only 1 reported II was complete 8/5, just this past week too), whereas MD/PhD applicants are getting interviews despite submitting in August and September. My guess is that since there are more MD applicants than MD/PhD, it takes a lot longer to sift through the apps so they go a lot slower.
Word of advice, don’t say things you don’t actually know. Complete 9/05, received interview invite last week

Ight time to get that II. Plenty of time
I was complete 9/4 and interviewed mid December. Of course submitting your secondary earlier is better, but being complete by September isn’t a death sentence.

I was complete in early October and interviewed in late January.
So has anyone been accepted who has had a January interview or later? It seems like there has been either a lull in acceptances or the people who have heard have not posted.

Today at the interview, the current student who was in our breakout room said that Kaiser really does consider all applicants, even those who interview in March, and that we shouldn't think we don't have a shot just because we got the II later. She didn't outright say that she was speaking from personal experience, but seemed pretty adamant about it (maybe there are people in current class who interviewed later in cycle??).
Either way, gave me hope!!
Either way, gave me hope!!
to save yall some time, looking at last years thread, post II Rs were sent on April 6, and WLs were sent on April 9th

Has anyone who interviewed in late January gotten an A yet?
Unless they change mid cycle, they give As two weeks following the interviews on Wednesdays. I don’t think many people like to post because they probably only give a couple per day (and thus most would reveal their identities)

Does Kaiser accept LOI pre-decision/post-interview or for waitlisted people post-interview? Couldn’t find any info on this.
It seems they accept anything post-interview
Hmm looking back at other posts, they definitely send out As after more than two weeks post interview
Any chance of an A if they've been silent since interviewing in December? 😳
Seems like the couple released acceptances reported on SDN have been Wednesday around 10am-12noon PST. There was also one reported on a Thursday morning!
Kaiser's timeline on the secondary app portal says that "Final decisions released on a rolling basis" ends on 03/20. It's possible that there might not be acceptances going out today and that mass decisions (A/WL/R) will be released next week.

I attended office hours earlier this month and Ms. Agasia Lanier mentioned that this cycle's decisions would come out closer to the end of March or early April! I'm still holding onto hope and crossing my fingers for all of us! 🙂
