low GPA (although good postbacc) high MCAT IS MD-only no secondary yet. My low GPA might’ve gotten me moved to a different pile, although I’ve gotten a few other UCs automatically
I’m also low GPA, high MCAT, no secondary. But I’m OOS.

Follow up question, has everyone assigned their LOR's and had them all submitted before getting a secondary? I'm still waiting on one and haven't assigned any yet to UCLA
I did assign and have mine submitted, but I don't think this is important. In their email they write "We advise that you do not wait for your letters of recommendation to submit as this may cause you to miss your deadline." I'm sure you will get one relatively soon!

Awesome thanks!

It is important. I emailed UCLA and they said they review LORs before giving out secondaries. So most likely, your app hasn't been reviewed yet (unless they review if it's there but don't review the LORs if it isn't)

Oh... interesting. Okay I just assigned all my letters, still waiting on one though. I'll update everyone if this results in a secondary.

My LORs/committee letter hasn't been uploaded yet so that makes sense then that I haven't gotten a secondary
Idk if this helps, but I'm an OOS MSTP high stats, no IAs, all letters in, with no secondary, only primary received email
Update: High stats, OOS, reapplicant, MSTP, have an IA, got secondary this time just now, did not get secondary last time I applied MD only
what is IA?

FYI I got my secondary just now, assigned all my letters about 2 hours ago. Still missing one letter though, from my current employer and research advisor. Could be a coincidence, or they could be waiting on assigned LOR's or at least 3. Who knows.

They probably just have a weird workflow, I definitely wouldn't stress for a while longer
IS, High Stats, verified early June also haven't received.

What counts as basic or clinical science? Would computer science or mathematics research that has nothing to do with healthcare or the human body count?
High stats, no IA's, OOS, just received secondary this morning.

I was verified 6/25 and just got my secondary today.
I'm in the same boat. IS, verified 6/02 LM 74
OOS secondary received early this morning! Verified 06/22
International applicant - secondary received this morning. Im assuming prompts have not changed from last year?
+2
Mine was sent at 3am PST, which seems weird for a school with a manual screen. Maybe they approved ours with the first batch a couple days ago but just wanted to stagger it?
+3 the time caught my eye….and on a weekend too, not sure what’s happening @ UCLA lol

I would say anything as long as you can tie it to your missions in the "outstanding physician, and...". However, hobbies may be a lot weaker if you only do them in your house, for example, and have never contributed to society with it.
Anyone else not receive it yet? I'm confused.

Still waiting here. Trusting the rollout is just slow this year.
