Pre-II R. The email was so rude. I'm low key offended :/

Was it somewhere along the lines of “You’re a competitive applicant but we don’t want you here”?

Pre-II R. The email was so rude. I'm low key offended :/

Mine was a little better I think. Presecondary R

Thank you for applying to the University of California Irvine, School of Medicine. Regrettably we are unable to offer you a position in our first year medical school class. The Admissions Committee evaluated your application along with those from over 7,000 other applicants. We had many qualified applicants but only 114 positions, therefore some very difficult decisions had to be made.

We sincerely hope you achieve your career goals and wish you the best in your future endeavors.

Pre-II R yesterday as well. OOS, LM 74.1. Complete late August

 

[WeOutHereWaiting]

Just got the call! Interviewed back in December. Heads up, the call came in as No Caller ID so I almost hung up.

 

[montelukast]

Pre-II R came in yesterday

 

[beanmaster1234]

A! Interviewed 01/19

 

[cutecumber]

Looking at previous year threads, the final interview dates were:
2020-21: 4/6 and 4/12
2021-22: 4/4 and 4/11

This year so far UCI has sent out interviews for at least 4/3. So I'm guessing just one interview day left? 😢

Does anyone know if these late interviews are basically for waitlist spots only? :/

 

[furryllama22]

Does anyone know if these late interviews are basically for waitlist spots only? :/

i don't think so, i know a med student there who interviewed around march/april, and got in regularly. uci has also been sending out post-II R's and waitlists, so i am p sure theyre still looking to fill their class

[swagalicious]

Hi Hi! Preparing for interview tomorrow and was wondering if anyone knows if the 1:1 are closed or open file?

Open

They just cant see your gpa and mcat (according to my interviewers) but they have your primary and secondary

 

[jgo12]

Hi Everyone, for those who have been accepted did you write an LOI while waiting for the news? How long was the wait typically between your interview and finding out news?

 

[peroxisome]

Hi Everyone, for those who have been accepted did you write an LOI while waiting for the news? How long was the wait typically between your interview and finding out news?

Hi! I did not write an LOI - I interviewed in early October and got the A in mid-late November.

 

[WeOutHereWaiting]

Hi Everyone, for those who have been accepted did you write an LOI while waiting for the news? How long was the wait typically between your interview and finding out news?

I didn’t write LOI but I did submit some updates. I interviewed in December and got accepter in February about 2 months after my interview date.

[dreamzchaser]

Anyone else receive a email from Lead-ABC? They said I wasn’t picked for an interview for that program so I was placed in the normal applicant pool

Nvm. Just my R this morning. Good luck all

 

[LemonLord58]

Does anyone know long it can take for LEAD-ABC to give out a decision? I interviewed 10/17 and got accepted regular MD right before Thanksgiving, but haven't heard anything from LEAD.

[medicalmango_]

Hi does anyone know if its possible to contact admissions and ask if there are earlier interview dates available? If so, would it be better to call or email?

 

[Dedication and Hope]

Does anyone know if acceptances/waitlist/rejections usually come out on a certain day of the week?

 

[zackowacko]

Hi all, I was hoping you could provide some reassurance/clarify something for me:

Adcoms would check our pre-reqs before extending an interview invitation/acceptance, right?

I graduated in 2019 and applied this 2022-2023 cycle. Last science classes taken in Spring 2019. I noted this line on UCI's MSAR page:

"Oldest date prerequisite coursework can be completed
While prerequisite coursework does not "expire", applicants that have been out of a classroom setting for >3 years are advised to take classes in the the biological sciences."

Just wanted to confirm that my pre-reqs are all good as I don't see a green check mark next to "transcripts" on the portal status page, although I received confirmation that UCI downloaded my transcript already.

Thanks in advance!

Yeah, I'm pretty sure adcoms only extend interview invites to people who are already qualified for their school on paper. So they must've thought your transcript/MCAT/essays etc were sufficient if you got an interview.

I interviewed for UCI and I don't have one of the upper level bio classes.. would have to take it before matriculation

I have the same question for PRIME-LC 🙁
