Is this still considered early in the UCSF timeline? I feel like the IIs have been slow even compared to last year but it could just be the copium I’m smoking

I looked through last year's thread (remember tho sdn isn't that representative) from October 18th to end of November and from what I saw:

A bunch of pre-II and pre Secondary R's (I don't mean to scare anyone but it was a lot)
1 II on 10/29 complete in early September
2 secondaries on 10/30
1 secondary 11/6
1 secondary 11/9
2 secondaries 11/13
1 secondary 11/17
1 II 11/19 complete 9/2
1 II 11/21 complete 9/17
1 II 11/22 complete 9/3
3 II 11/24 complete 10/2 + 10/24 + 10/31
1 secondary 11/25
2 secondaries 11/29

So for those of us who were complete in July/August I think we should get our R's or II's soon. Good luck to everyone I hope we all get II's that then translate to A's.

FWIW: They are moving away from rolling admissions and releasing decisions in Late Feb/ Early March iirc; so the date of your interview doesn't matter.

It's an amazing program and I wish everyone here the very best.

Yes! The admissions director also mentioned to me that decisions were going to come out in February. Good luck, everyone!
 
is it pretty much an R if we haven't received a secondary yet after being verified mid July? I emailed them a week ago and they said they are experiencing delays in their review process

just received one of those scary pre secondary R's
 
Off-topic but like UCSF is one of my dream schools lol. Sadly, it seems like you have to be perfect to get in - is this true?
 
cordialcalifornium said:
UCSF is a state school and seems to be less OOS friendly than some of the other UCs.
i.e. 2/3 of IIs are given to in-state folks and about 80% of the folks who matriculated were from CA (source: MSAR)

But it is still very competitive, even if you're IS.
Click to expand...
Yeah ok that makes sense. I'm a CA resident and UCSF is one of my dream schools but alas :')
 
AcneRosaceaDermatitis said:
How does being from California help? Am I reading into this too literally? I thought CA was one of the most competitive states even if in-state. I'm probably out of the loop lol

UCSF is holistics and people from california with average GPA / MCAT and in some cases even low, have gotten in if the rest of their app is great. That said for out of state one needs pretty high stats.

According to MSAR stats are about the same out-of-state and in-state. UCSF is very mission based and interested in students that have overcome adversity, can add diversity to their school, and are social justice/community-oriented.
 
For those who received an interview, where can I find the links/more information about those info sessions they mentioned?
 
I'm applying to UCSF MD-only. I don't know if their MD-only program has a secondary deadline. I see that UCSF's secondary deadline for MD/PhD is December 1st, idk if it is also the same deadline for MD-only? I'm worried about if MD-only application has a December 1st deadline because what if the secondary invite doesn't come until November 30th and you only have 1 day to fill out secondaries if UCSF did not invite you until that late?

Where are you seeing the 12/1 deadline? After a quick google I see that their MSTP secondary deadline is 12/1 but nothing about MD

TBH that would be ridiculous if they did that but to avoid being stressed I would just prewrite. the secondary isn't too long either and some people don't even write the essays

Yeah, idk if MD-Only has a secondary deadline. I'm just assuming the worst case scenario if the MD-only has the same secondary deadline as the MSTP secondary deadline.

SO the MD secondary deadline is 2 weeks after you get the secondary. Hence I would guess they will send their last batch of secondaries in december asuming they will interview in January etc.

Just got a secondary today! I'm surprised, I thought I got silently rejected because of my MCAT score of 506... is it even worth it for me to complete it?
Click to expand...
You should complete it. They are clearly interested in you else they would not have sent a secondary. Make sure your writing is good before submitting. You got this. Manifesting the II for you.

Do you mind sharing when you were verified/submitted primary? Also congratulations!!!! 🍾🎉🎊
 
Has anyone with an interview received info on the timings for their interview day? I can't find anything and am wondering if it's just sent out the morning of or something
