Phew, thank goodness. Applications are making me neurotic and I start second guessing everything. My first instinct was "yeah, that totally counts" but then I started thinking about it way too hard...
Haha if anything you are ahead of me since i am only a SoCal resident. They just want to find applicants who are genuinely willing to stay in that region and practice

hi to future interviewees! congrats!! i did mine last week but i think they only give out one day for a pool of people. I only had one choice and then when i asked we were the only interview day they had set at that time.
Did they mention how long it’ll take for decisions to come out after interviewing?

haha funny story. i felt pretty calm before it all, but 5 mins before i started bawling and then threw up but after that I think it went super well! (went thru 5 stages of grief at once i guess ><). There wasnt too much time to prep because they only gave us 4 days before the actual interview day for the first interview of the season TT^TT. but i think they give other people a lot more days. i was already prepping for another interview when i got the notice so i would say maybe 5 days? i practiced with my friends (God bless them cause theyre not even premed)! goodluck everyone

Any Haider applicants receive an II yet?
you mean ucr alum who applied to EAP?

I did! but already did my interview the first date!

dont worry about whether or not you got your interview relative to other haider students cause in my interview there was only like 3 other UCR people and the rest were all different schools. they care more about your app so unless you got an R, just trust they are going thru them slowly

Do you guys know if they send rejections pre-II? Or do they wait till all interviews are done to send rejections?
 
In what type of healthcare setting do you see yourself practicing medicine?
For this question are they asking if we want to practice in a private clinic vs hospital?
That’s a very open ended question and it asks basically what type of doctor do you want to be? - community doc, private practice doc, VA/Kaiser/institution do, academic, urban focused, rural focused, etc. good luck.
 
When you check your application status is there a difference between "Your application is ready" and " Your application is now complete and awaiting review" or is this different wording for each school meaning the same thing?

I think it's just how different schools have it worded.
 
Damn UCR is moving hella slow lol. I submitted secondary 9/28, but my app wasnt complete until 10/8 because of LORS.
Looks like Im on track to receive correspondence in 2022 🤣
 
Man somehow it feels like UCR has only sent like 2-3 waves of IIs, they're really taking their sweet time, especially since they wanted the secondary in like 10 days....
