For anyone with an II, did you guys apply for the REACH program? I'm not sure how interviews/II's work with this
yup
oh woops ur totally right I was complete in July my bad 😂 idk why I thought it was Aug sorry
The first step is getting admitted to UC Davis. Only with an acceptance is your application forwarded to the people in charge of the track programs and they will then select people to interview for the specific track program. Hope this helps. Edit: I should add it is possible to be interviewed for these tracks while on the waitlist, I believe that happened in the last cycle.

II this morning. Complete 7/6
This is one school where they really look at the entire person: grades, experience, extracurricular, mcat, etc. Nothing is off the table. Everything about the person is important.

This is the only school I didn't get a secondary from and I'm IS. Even UCSD sent me one, what gives, man
To everyone who got an II -- did you take the SJT? Did any of you not? I missed the August 30th deadline to register for the very last AAMC SJT of the whole cycle and I am extremely worried about it as I really want to go to UC Davis. I've been so busy with work and a recent loss in my family that I completely blanked and dropped the ball. Thank you so much in advance! 💛
Hey, I’m in the same boat but it looks like Window 6 has test dates on Oct 26 & 27. Registration opens Sep 21. That’ll still work, right?
They are very selective. Look at their mission statement.
I did not take the SJT and got an II.
No. It’s not a rejection until you get a letter. So just hang in there.
You should be fine; the Admissions Director shared in a presentation earlier this spring that UCDavis will be using the results after one has been interviewed - and that good results can help enhance one's application. (Impliedly, poor results would not give one an extra "boost," so one would have to be very, very strong to overcome a poor result... which certainly could happen.)
The upshot is that the results would simply need to be lodged before one has an interview - and good results can help, so it's worth one's while to take it 🙂
Just got a secondary yesterday.
Have many ORM SoCal residents with no ties to NorCal had much luck?

when were you verified?
8/5
Does this school even send out pre-secondary rejections to all applicants they'd like to reject?
omg I'm so proud of you! I'm in the same boat except no secondary
it’s just an anecdote but my friend (ORM) who has never been to NorCal in her life (stayed in SoCal) just got a II from UCD 🙂

I was verified 8/09. Hopefully this means I can get a secondary or rejection soon. 🥴
If you don’t get an II you will get a rejection letter. And if you get II then you either get a rejection, acceptance or waitlist letter.
But I need to wait until March-ish to get my rejection letter, right?
Yes unfortunately they don’t send out rejection letters until near the end. At least that’s what I experienced.

Yep can confirm they’ve been interviewing
Traditional or MMI? How many interviewers?

It’s MMI, I forget how many stations there were tho. Each station had a unique interviewer
Did they just read the scenarios and asked your thoughts? Or did they actually use actors to portray the scenes? Thanks.
Anyone complete late August get an II?

I’m not at discretion to answer that as I signed an NDA. However the orientation session that is integrated into interview day is incredibly helpful at explaining the ins and outs!
thank you
