Submitted the secondary 7/20, reapplicant, 522, 3.97

I have a stupid question... Can someone let me know how can I find out if UCI does traditional or MMI? I tried to read their website but it's very vague.

It only says "Individual interviews with a faculty member and a medical student, held virtually." under AAMC pdf. I guess that means traditional...?

Via MSAR: "Individual interviews with a faculty member and a medical student, held virtually."

Is anyone still waiting on a secondary invite? I’m a SoCal resident. I’m wondering if I got screened out or something. sGPA just over a 3.0 and MCAT = 509, URM. Lots of healthcare volunteering and service. AMCAS primary verified last week of June

SoCal resident and also still waiting. Submitted the first day with a 50X and 3.5 cgpa. Also starting to think I got screened out lol

Same. 51x mcat but very very low gpa, but did a diy postbacc here and got 3.9x lol so I’m not sure

 

[eldopa]

Anyone know what to do for activities if they fall in multiple categories? Like if a research activity was also paid should I put it in both?

FWIW, i got a secondary and my stats are split at the extremes -- don't think you got screened out, but just give it some time!

 

[tornado6565]

IS II 8/14 complete 7/22

Congrats on your II! Do you also see only one date for the interview?

 

[themagictaco]

yeah next week lmao

 

[HalJordann]

Starting to lose hope unless they don't send II chronologically. I was complete 7/21

 

[WeOutHereWaiting]

A friend of mine from the last cycle was complete in mid-July and didn't receive an II until November and was accepted. I highly doubt any school does strictly chronological.

Yeah, probably not smart of me to assume

Under Research Activities they ask

"By December 2022, how many total research hours will you estimate to have had (include university-based research, lab assistant, clinical research*, preparing manuscript, etc.)"

Does anyone know what they mean by "university-based research?" Is that just the number of research hours if you were part of an on-campus lab? Thanks!

Yeah, I took it as any research lab that was associated with my university. If it's on-campus it's most likely affiliated with your university (especially public universities(?)) ergo "university-based," is the way I approached it (despite my lab actually being off-campus)

This might be a stretch but does anyone know if it means anything to get a UCI student ID on the portal?

[apriltuesday]

II for PRIME-LC!!

 

[Premed Tears]

II for PRIME-LC!!

Same! Did you end up getting a separate interview invite for just the MD program? I read on the website that you will only be considered for Prime-LC if you are under consideration for Irvine MD, but all of the scheduling is under PRIME-LC so i'm a little confused. Will there be a separate confirmation for just the MD program?

If it’s the same as LEAD-ABC, you do your traditional UC Irvine interviews then you do an extra interview with a panel from your program

Congrats! I only got the one email, it seems like they might have UCI MD and PRIME-LC specific dates where you do the regular MD and PRIME interview on the same day so they combined the invitation. At least that was my understanding of it

 

[chocomika]

ermm i still havent gotten a secondary does that mean they screened me out 🙁 went to UCI for undergrad, URM, so cal resident, 3.6 gpa 508 mcat

 

[stethescope4ears]

I do not believe that uci prescreens, so just be patient and hopefully the secondary will come.

 

[pi_grl]

I am a reapplicant and last year I literally didn’t get a secondary at all lol they rejected me pre secondary but not until March of this year lmao. I applied here again this year for whatever reason and still haven’t gotten a secondary. Just giving a heads up, we may never get one ‍ I am IS norcal LM70 WARS80 and went to a different UC for undergrad.

 

[326RD]

Hey everyone! I'm an MS1, MSTP at UCI. Happy to answer questions if I can, though I might be most helpful for MD-PhD applicants. Good luck to all of you!
