Just got an II, OOS, what are my chances? I really want to go to Cali. My only tie if you count it is I went to UCSB for a year… will that increase my chances? Also, how was the interview for you all? What are some tips? Thank you!

Hello! Just wondering, what dates were available for you? I received an II but didn't see any dates until May 😢

Now the can submit the app to be able to allow fed loans. It could take at least a year or more.

 

[PRD20]

Is there an accepted students chat?

 

[strawbfig]

Interviewed 3/27. Waitlisted 4/5.

 

[chipeachi]

Is is worth applying here so late in the cycle? Saw secondaries are accepted until 4/12

 

[PRD20]

Is anyone else interviewing in May? Are those interview dates for waitlist?

i would think so - however i have no connection to the admissions team

 

[imagineer1125]

Interviewed 4/10. WL today, 4/12. Wow, I appreciate the super quick turnaround considering they told us it will take the usual 2 weeks.

For those that were WL, did you get an email saying you were WL or WL + "As soon as seats become available, you are one of the next students we plan to call."

Nope didn't get this wording 🙁 also does anyone know if the medical spanish and food kitchen classes are required or electives?

I feel like its early so they will start seeing a lot more movement in the following months. The website says "Nutrition, culinary medicine, and medical Spanish courses are incorporated throughout the year." I know that medical spanish is a required course every week but I'm not sure about the food kitchen. I also don't think they offer electives.

appreciate it - hoping for the best - also have no interest in either of those two courses lol

These two are integrated into the curriculum so

 

[CoconutRiceCrackers]

Culinary Med is once per month (super chill, you cook and eat) and Medical Spanish is twice per month (really useful b/c of the large hispanic population in CA).

Anyone going to the accepted students day on 4/27?

I interviewed in September and have been on the WL since, is there a chance for me to be lifted off or should i withdraw my interest?

 

[yikesss]

just withdrew my A today! I really loved this school but just got an offer that was much better for my situation :/ hoping it goes to one of you and good luck to everyone, we're gonna kill it as future docs!

How did u withdraw ur A? Did u just email or call, trying to figure out how to do it so I can get my deposit back

If you have another A that is more appealing, you should consider withdrawing interest. If you’d attend CHSU over your other choice, then stay on the WL. I know a few prospective students who are withdrawing their A before May 1st. I believe there will be some movement after May 1st with accepting students off of the waitlist.

 

[yikesss]

How did u withdraw ur A? Did u just email or call, trying to figure out how to do it so I can get my deposit back

I sent an email, waiting for Monday to see what they say. I truly do hope I get part of it back bc these deposits are SO MUCH

 

[mak081]

Are there any current students that can comment on the quality of rotations? Thanks!

 

[Esky27]

Withdrew my A. Just a hard decision bc I really liked this school but I think it’s best for me. Good luck to all of u future docs seems like a promising program

 

[mak081]

I’m pretty sure they said $1000 is refundable so you end up only putting down $200 or $250

 

[whatsupdoc28]

I second this. I withdrew my $1250 deposit and they sent me a $1000 check back ! So technically you just lose $250.

 

[rawcashew]

has anyone on high prio waitlist heard back yet?

I haven't heard anything yet

 

[gateopener]

I got off waitlist yesterday.

Were you on the high priority waitlist?

 

[gateopener]

Were you on the high priority waitlist?

as far as I know I was just on the waitlist. Did not see anything regarding high priority

 

[fried_eggs]

I think high priority refers to the waitlist email saying you would be one of the next ones to receive a call when a seat opens up. When were you waitlisted? Congrats btw!! 🎊

I was placed on waitlist in late March. I have looked through the emails and haven't seen anything about high priority 🤷‍♂️hopefully that is good news for those on waitlist

 

[Primxtive]

+1 A!! Regular WL since January.

 

[derbos]

Love seeing all this waitlist movement - congrats to everyone who has heard!! Still crossing my fingers for a phone call!

 

[BrettMontana]

Anyone write a letter of intent?

 

[monkeym8]

When are you guys going to start taking out your loans…

 

[BrettMontana]

Anyone write a letter of intent?

Just got the Call let’s gooo. I’m going to apply for the private loans now. We can switch to federal later I believe but that depends on when the schools starts to get the federal loans.

 

[UncompetitiveInhibitor]

IS A!!! Just got the call after being placed on the waitlist on Halloween 🎃 will be declining. Wish you all the best!

 

[SerUnMedico]

Do they use actual cadavers? Watched an intro video on them and it seemed like they use models

They use HoloLens

That's bad. You don't study Anatomy virtually or by some mixed reality headset.
