Nah not yet and I was verified 08/04

Has anyone gotten a post-hold II or R yet?
First post-hold II reported in last year's thread was 01/22, but that was for a PRIME interview. The first post-hold II reported in last year's thread for the regular MD program was on 02/22. Last post-hold II reported was on 03/15...

First post-hold R reported in last year's thread was 02/09 -- there was a lot that day, so UCSD definitely sends out R's in batches. Many did not receive the post-II R until March/April.

Edit: There were a total of 3 post-hold IIs reported in last year's thread.

Are they done with sending IIs?
From my understanding, they usually extend interviews until February-ish??. But, i might be wrong. Also, the attached image is from the website.

So far, it seems that there isnt any Post-II Rs. Although, the people that post here is such a small sample size that we really cant tell.
Yeah that’s fair. I’ve seen plenty of As and WLs but no Rs. Guess we’re all in the dark!

I am very fortunate to have received an A a few weeks ago (IS ORM) and I had some questions about the curriculum, since my MSAR expired. Are there any current students who could help me out? I am unable to find any info on whether or not there is an internal ranking or if UCSD is true P/F during the pre-clinical years. Thank you so much!

Congrats on your A! Although i haven't matriculated yet, i did undergrad at UCSD, and i got the A last week.

UCSD does NOT have internal ranking for M1/M2, and it is a true pass fail. (according to the dean, director of admissions, and the many ucsd medical student posts on SDN). M3/M4 you will be graded for those. The two links will take you to UCSD's curriculum and shows you a much more detailed breakdown of almost every quarter and general info. (BeMo, and other sites have other info on the school too if you wanna read more)

Sorry if I sound neurotic, but does this mean if we don’t hear back within this 2-week timeframe, we can assume it’s an R?
 
I dont think so. The Admission director said it takes time but he said in the next 1-2 weeks they want to release decision before we go on break!

Pre-II hold, OOS. Does a hold basically mean a rejection?
