[NervousPreMed5]

placed on hold 😗✌🏻 complete 6/29
ucsd alumnus
ngl ucsd played a huge part in the current La Jolla/SD housing crisis so I’m not too broken up about it anyway. not tryna spend $3k/month on a 1 bed throughout med school lol

good luck to everyone interviewing!!

Same situation here! I'm honestly so ready to get outta here. Ive had to live near sdsu for a while to find affordable living

current UCSD grad student and former undergrad... its rough out here rn

 

[NaKATPase413]

Is there any hard data on how many people get interviews after being out on hold? Any concrete examples?

 

[neuriobioliogy]

Put on hold. IS, ORM, LM 76.7, WARS 83.

Let's stop assuming a "hold" is a silent R just because the chance of advancing isn't guaranteed. A hold is a hold.

I think specifically in the case of UCSD, the likelihood of getting off hold is very low based on previous reports

For some schools, like George Washington, almost everyone is placed on a hold so it doesn’t really mean anything and you could get an II regardless

You’re right, a hold is a hold! And there’s never a guarantee on what’s gonna happen next
But also it’s important to factor in the school’s adcom practices

Pre-II Hold

 

[wavyboys21]

Has anyone here who submitted their secondary in the month of august been put on hold yet?

 

[deleted1115486]

Interviewed and waitlisted last year. Got put on hold this year. Probably the most awful feeling...

To even get a II at UCSD is an achievement in itself..this process is wack but you're clearly a quality applicant. I'm sure this cycle will go well! We got this

 

[mangowolf]

II, complete 7/7 🙂 was expecting a hold or R after being complete so long, so if you're still waiting to hear back, there's hope!

I got a secondary, on October 14th, submitted AMCAS June 3rd. Retook MCAT 510 to 514, and just updated. Can only imagine it was due to MCAT improvement! ^^ Hold out, there is still a chance!

 

[deleted555445]

Why you gotta be like this UCSD, sending emails and ish

 

[futuretrashwoman]

Did everyone get that "new track" email...

 

[cofactorcoenzyme]

so frustrating. already hurts enough when your alma mater puts you on hold, then to follow up with an email like this...just cruel

 

[JustJackie]

wait , you guys are getting emails?!😢

 

[Throwaway123890]

Did everyone get that "new track" email...

that was peak stress for a sec

 

[wavyboys21]

Did anyone recieve the new letter as well that didnt apply for prime?

 

[deleted555445]

Did anyone recieve the new letter as well that didnt apply for prime?

I did not apply for PRIME and got the email

 

[wavyboys21]

When do they typically send out interview invite for prime? Has anyone applied to that and not recieved a interview yet?

 

[caffeinatedbiochemist]

That email was a tease.. thought I was getting an update after being on hold

 

[shotgunlagoon]

That email was a tease.. thought I was getting an update after being on hold

IKR, I was like "OH MY GOD UCSD???" and then I was like "oh my god.... UCSD....."

 

[dococ213]

Does anybody have an updated timeline of when post II decisions should come out?

 

[maxohmax]

Does anybody have an updated timeline of when post II decisions should come out?

Was wondering the same thing. Interviewed mid-Sep, are we still expecting to hear back early Nov?

 

[rescueman]

No, just regular MD program!

 

[mangomonkey]

Does anybody have an updated timeline of when post II decisions should come out?

Interviewed 10/14. The admissions coordinator said the committee was meeting on 10/25 and that we should hear by 10/29.

+1 😢

My heart skipped a beat with that email they just sent out. At least now we know we’ll all be hearing back on the 29th! I love that they let applicants know. Wish all adcoms were like this!

 

[wavyboys21]

What email did they send out. There letting us know about what on the 29th?

 

[MedPath_]

Sorry I was referring to the convo above. They sent out an email to people who have interviewed stating that they will send a status update on 10/29 to everyone who interviewed on or before 10/14.

 

[ednamed]

750 interviewees for 134 spots…. Ouch

 

[WhatsUpDoc824]

+2 informational email heart attack

 

[toetheline]

Anyone know how difficult it is for an OOS to get in here? My stats are low for this school so I’m wondering how much hope I should have post-II

 

[selener]

You guys are getting emails?

 

[toetheline]

You guys are getting emails?

Yeah, it’s just a post interview follow up with info on the timeline

 

[deleted1106140]

Has anyone got straight up rejected and not put on hold?

 

[deleted555445]

Has anyone got straight up rejected and not put on hold?

additional question, are there a lot of people still out there complete in July with no II and no hold?
