I just got an interview invite! I’ve e heard literal silence from Davis since I submitted so there’s still hope y’all! Hoping some others get one today too!
Let's go jackieeeeeeeII today lol I literally forgot about this school. I figured I was gonna get ghosted.
Primary 8/30. Was complete 10/9 though because of LORs.
Looks like there is only ONE interview date left in March.
send an update letter maybe? I think that could help!Based on last year's thread it looks like next week would be the last round of II's sent out for the cycle. Really stings not to get any love from alma mater with lots of ties to the school and service in the area 🙁
they dont accept I thinksend an update letter maybe? I think that could help!
What day?II today lol I literally forgot about this school. I figured I was gonna get ghosted.

11th. But there are AM and PM groups.What day?
Got an email on 3/3 to interview on 3/4Anyone on interview wait list heard back?
+1I received an II today (woo!) and was not previously on the interview waitlist. Had given up hope on this one, but I'm so excited!
Complete 7/28, in-state & norcal resident. Interview is in a couple weeks
Same boat as you. I believe they interview through April. Going through the thread from last year, it appears the last ii's are being sent out around this week.Do you happen to know when the last interview date is? Wondering as I'm a NorCal native but haven't heard anything since submitting secondary in July. Davis is one of the last schools I have yet to hear from. Thank you 🙂
do they interview for the waitlist whenever their admitting class is already full?+1
I hope this isn’t an interview for the waitlist.
Best of luck!! This gave me hope today!! Thank you for sharing 😊I received an II today (woo!) and was not previously on the interview waitlist. Had given up hope on this one, but I'm so excited!

Does anyone know if Davis accepts updates? I feel like I remember they said they don't but just wanted to make sure
Ahhh congrats!!! Same here!! Have you received an email about it yet? The voicemail I received said they would send an email but I haven’t received anything… my imposter syndrome is making me paranoid about it LOLReceived an A a few minutes ago. Interviewed on 2/18/22 (URM and in-state)
Lol not yet. Honestly I was getting kinda worried too. Congrats on your acceptance.Ahhh congrats!!! Same here!! Have you received an email about it yet? The voicemail I received said they would send an email but I haven’t received anything… my imposter syndrome is making me paranoid about it LOL
I was wondering if there was any action we had to take to accept the offer of admission, but I’m sure they’ll send out that email soon.Lol not yet. Honestly I was getting kinda worried too. Congrats on your acceptance.
Congrats! Would you mind sharing when you submitted?I just got an II! 😁 it says the last interview date is April 8!
Submitted 7/20Congrats! Would you mind sharing when you submitted?
Congrats on your interview!I got an II a few weeks ago. Interview date is April 1st!!! I'm super excited and kinda nervous. Any tips for the MMIs? If it's not too much to ask, considering the NDA and all, did anyone have to do role-play scenarios?
+1Also received pre-II R 🙁 so sad since this was a top choice for me + native to the area. Best of luck all!

Current MS1 here. As I am sure you know, our curriculum is new this year.Hey y’all, can anyone answer any of these questions regarding curriculum?
thank you!
- systems-based or traditional?
- are preclinical years true p/f? any internal ranking?
- how are ms3 and ms4 years graded?
- are lectures mandatory? are they recorded?
if any current students are here and are down to PM me I have some more specific questions
Our full financial aid packages came out pretty late. I think late June / July? They typically inform students of scholarships in May, however.Anyone received financial aid yet? Do you know if the UC Davis scholarship is merit based or need based? ($30,000 every year for 4 years)
is it manageable to do our own studying during the 8-12 mandatory M/W/F in person? Or are those something that needs 100% of our focus? That definitely seems like a lot of in person mandatory time required when you compare it to other schools. I'm the type of student that really learns best on my own time and am A LOT more efficient when I'm doing my own stuff.Current MS1 here. As I am sure you know, our curriculum is new this year.
1. Systems-based
2. True P/F. No internal rank. Need a 60% on final and 70% in overall class (except in Anatomy / Histology, you need a 70% for both).
3. Currently Honors/P/F, but school is discussing changing grading to P/F and are hoping to put it to a vote soon.
4. Lectures are recorded and optional. There is no in person or live lecture. Active learning sessions M/W/F 8-12 are in person and mandatory. There's additional sessions too (clinical skills, longitudinal clinical experience, etc.) but they aren't necessarily each week.
Feel free to post additional questions here or PM me.
Sometimes. Each day starts with PBL (problem based learning), which has us split into groups of 8. Each group has their own classroom and facilitator assigned. You'll either be working through a case together, teaching the group an assigned topic, or listening to your other group members. Individual studying during this time would be obvious and likely called out. We receive evaluations based on our performance in PBL which eventually helps determine our grade for this portion. The other part of the day is either TBL (team based learning), peer teaching (practice clicker questions graded on number correct not participation), or patient panels. For these, we are all in a big classroom, but we do have assigned tables for TBL. A lot of people work on random stuff during TBL (or outright skip the class), but some focus is usually necessary. We work through cases and have table discussions, and random tables get called on to answer. Because peer teaching is graded on accuracy, electronics and notes are not allowed out so it is not really possible to study during this time. For patient panels, we're just listening to the patients, so you don't necessarily need to focus 100%, but it's rude to be on computers during this time. As of now, we use clickers for attendance before each session (so in theory you could skip certain sessions), but I wouldn't doubt it if they change how attendance is taken (they already have once this year), so I can't say for certain.is it manageable to do our own studying during the 8-12 mandatory M/W/F in person?

Would you say that you and the majority of your classmates find these 8-12 M/W/F portions of the curriculum helpful? Or is it mostly just a time sink?Sometimes.

Honestly, these exercises are not done to just kill time. It’s part of learning to become a good doctor. Learning to become a doctor requires interactions with others, interactions with patients and learning from each other. If you learn in a siloed fashion I think your clerkship attending a will realize you just didn’t put the time to really clear.
