Is there a facebook group or anything of that sort for accepted students?
 
does UCI send email stating application received? I was looking back through my emails but dont think I received anything

Yes, I received an email that says "Secondary Application Complete." In the body of the email, they specified that "your application is now considered complete."
 
According to the MSAR, UCI extends 50 acceptances to ~100 applicants on the waitlist. I know it's not uncommon for medical schools to get a lot of their incoming class from the waitlist, but I feel like these numbers are really high, especially for a UC. Does anyone have any insights into UCI's alternate list and how much movement there generally is?

They have this data on msar?
 
How was the recorded interview for people this year? Anything we should prepare in advance before completing it? TY!

I did mine a while ago so if anyone has anything to add please do, but I would just think of it as something between an MMI and Casper in terms of the timing and format. It felt like a way to ask some basic questions that would be hard to naturally work into a conversational interview. Not much you can prepare for. Hope that helps!
 
man..havent heard a PEEP from this school. PRIME-LC is my dream program. i have already received 2 acceptances so far and NOTHING from UCI.
 
Still never even got a secondary for this darned school. RIP me, I was an MSTP applicant too. Good luck everybody else!
 
So… did anyone get any more info about waitlist movement? Lmao I’m still really curious
 
Has anyone that interviewed for LEAD-ABC heard back? Or was there just one big interview for this candidates in January? 🤔
 
I heard back and interviewed 11/15! You have to get accepted to UCI first then you'll hear back from LEAD-ABC after, it took about a month for me.
Hi congrats! My friend interviewed in September and was accepted, but hasn't heard back from the LEAD program yet. Just for clarification, it took a month after your med school acceptance to receive word from LEAD?
 
Does anyone know how the waitlist movement is like for this school? I saw the MSAR but I’m not sure if that’s up to date.

Technically it took almost two months since I got in to UCI early December and heard back from LEAD late January. But I factored in the couple of weeks UCI was on winter break.
 
Has anyone here had difficulty with their chemistry prerequisites? I got an interview but have been notified that I don’t fulfill the pre reqs because I only have 5 quarters of chemistry, not 6. I am just surprised because the classes I took were the standard chem sequence for premed students at my school (a UC that sends lots of students to med school). Has anyone had any luck getting prereqs waived?
