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.
 
I dont think so I was complete 08/ad04 applied to prime and no II. They have different select dates for prime and they dont finish sending till like february.
 
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.

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)

dont lose hope i recently called and they said they want to have all decisions regarding interviews and II in the next 1-2 weeks
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?
 
When is UCSD gonna go on break? Starting next week? Or the week after?
