Side note, with holds and II's coming in at the same time, this is going to be my reaction when I see I have an email from UCSD

Based off of past years and what I can find on here and reddit, I honestly think it's a soft R

I just got an email from Domino's and my heart leapt up into my throat thinking it was a UCSD email.

Not sure if/why I got screened out this year. Alma mater and was placed on interview hold last year. Stats are within range and primary was submitted and verified 7/20 but never got a secondary. Should I reach out to them?
I think they are still reviewing primaries to send out secondaries. I didn't get one either.
Anyone that submitted secondary in late july-early august hear anythign about an interview yet.
I submitted my secondary last night, where is my II?! This wait is killing me
As a serious note do people have success if they submitted in August?

Here is explanation of UCSD's rolling admissions:
We are aware that the perception of many applicants is that if you don't apply very early in the cycle, you are hurting your chances for admission. This is not true and in fact has never been true for UCSD. We do have "rolling" admissions. But, what rolling admissions means from our perspective is that we plan to make a small number of offers spread throughout the year...it does NOT mean that we make all of our offers in October and November and reject any applicants that happen to be reviewed later.It is very much in our interest to try to form the best possible incoming class, and thus we do not make any decisions based on how early or how late we receive or review an application. We leave plenty of room for strong applicants that apply later in the cycle.
I just submitted today so fingers crossed for us!
Had a dream last night of getting an interview invite.
Question: I got IIs from UCSD the last 2 times I applied, and was WLed both times (I didn't get in anywhere else, so no this is not a humblebrag, I'm a 3rd-time applicant). I submitted late (7/25) got verified 8/19 and got the 2ndary 8/23. Am I pretty much set for the II?
Just trying not to shoot myself in the foot with my 2º.

Is UCSD known to give people another shot at an interview if they have interviewed in previous cycles?
Has anyone who submitted secondary in early august been notified of anything yet?
I was complete 7/8 and I haven't heard anything yet

I submitted secondary 7/12 and also haven't heard anything
I mean, I got a 2nd shot at an interview last year. I also changed my app a whole bunch with new clinical experience during the pandemic and new PS, so I hope they'll see I've made progress and not just reshuffling again.

Was hoping that we might hear something today? They sent out first round of notifications 2 weeks ago exactly and looking at past threads, it seems like they like notify people on certain days

Congrats! Are they doing different dates specifically for GHAC applicants? I'm really hoping for this one, this is one of the only secondaries that I thought I actually wrote well lol.
have any MD/MPH applicants received II yet?

I am not quite sure when I signed up the date specifically said "GHAC" however looking at the interview schedule there doesnt seem to be anything specific to the GHAC so I am not quite sure how it is incorporated - the only reason I know is because in the subject of the email is said UCSD: GHAC interview invite but other than that there wasnt any text
II received yesterday!!! complete 7/15
Congrats! Stats? IS/OOS?

Hi all,
Out of curiosity, is the secondary due at 11:59 pm one month after you receive the invitation email? Or is it like UCLA where it's due at the exact time that you receive the invitation email?

I submitted my secondary close to midnight, so Im guessing its the former
