130 matriculants, not acceptances! Not everyone who is accepted will attend UCSD.

additional question, are there a lot of people still out there complete in July with no II and no hold?
I was complete late July, complete silence so far. It's my alma mater so I'm really hoping I hear back but also I feel like UCSD hates its own undergrads haha
 
Alumnus here - complete early august, Radio Silence... From what I know the timeline depends on your screener. Some are faster than others. Also, if your App has some blemishes, (but they still like you) you might be placed in a certain category for re-review, which is done by a different person. ( This is different than pre-II hold)

Do not worry. Focus on yourselves and continued growth. A medical student once told me, "you bloom where you are planted."

I wish you all the best of luck!!

For anyone who has already interviewed, could you please describe your experience? Good, bad, unexpected surprises etc.
 
anyone who interviewed on or before October 14th, do they mean decisions will be released before Friday 10/29 (in their email they say "by 10/29")? or do we interpret this as decisions will be released on Friday?

750 interviewees for 134 spots…. Ouch

If you’re good enough for UCSD you’d probably have multiple acceptances from elsewhere. As a result shools like UCSD have to accept 2-3x their class size so their post-II acceptance rate is probably around 40-50% which isn’t that bad.

Unfortunately, UCSD's post II acceptance rate is like ~35%. Not sure if it includes waitlist acceptances or not
 
Has anyone had luck emailing ucsd i keep trying and get no response lol. There probably mad lol?
 
Has anyone been able to find UCSDs match lists?
 
Guessing we'll hear back tomorrow. Best of luck to everyone!

Pretty devastating, this was one of my top choices. According to MSAR ~10% get off waitlist. Gotta keep our heads up and stay productive for updates. :)

Did anyone who got waitlisted feel like their interview went really well? Just wondering since it seems like luck at this point.
 
Congratz to all you who got the A!! I am over here waiting to see if they send out any secondaries lol

For the people who got accepted, how did you feel about your interview? In the past, I heard that some people felt bad about the MMI, but still got the A.

I felt pretty strong about my MMI, but not too confident since I felt that their prompts were more difficult than some of my other MMIs
