is pre II R goodbye cali!
I live off-campus, but many of the on-campus med students live in Neuvo West, Mesa Nueva, or Nuevo East — these are newer buildings and right next to each other. Mesa Nueva units have a dishwasher, and I believe Mesa Nueva and Nuevo West are furnished. As for One Miramar and Mesa Apartments, these are also in the same grad housing cluster but are older / more dated buildings. I haven't heard of medical students living in the Coast apartments, probably since they are further away from the rest of grad housing / medical school / hospital.Can any current or past med students give some advice on where to live as an MS1? I am filling out the grad student housing application, and there are 6 housing communities (Nuevo East, Nuevo West, Mesa Nuevo, Mesa apts, Coast apts, and One Miramar) we can rank. Would love some insight into the pros and cons of each (other than cost).

I don't think so. The email I received recommended getting on the waitlist, even if you aren't sure of your preferences yet. Also, there is an admitted CO2028 FB group, and on the page, there is a Google doc for finding roommates!Do we need to have roommates arranged yet to apply for housing?
Submitted 8/30 but honestly i'm starting to feel that all hope is lost for a shot here.. praying for my comrades in arms who have yet to hear back!I got the UCSD secondary very late (Sept) and submitted it late (Oct). I haven't been put on hold, but I am assuming they haven't even gotten to my application yet. I'm moving forward and assuming its an R and will be prepping to reapply. This upcoming cycle I'll be applying prime as I believe I'll be a good fit for that program based on my extracurricular experiences and goals as a physician. Best of luck to those of you still waiting. Hope you all get an II and/or A!
25% chance of acceptance immediately post interview, the other 8% acceptance comes from waitlist movement.Waiting for hear after my interview, the post-ii A is like one-in-three right? this waiting is killing me
Out of curiosity, where did you get this information?25% chance of acceptance immediately post interview, the other 8% acceptance comes from waitlist movement.
2 PM PST for me on 10/12Hey everyone! Sorry if this has been asked before, but for those who have interviewed, do you know around what time your interview day ended? Thanks in advance!
Congrats! Did yours also go to Spam like the last set of IIs?IS II received! complete early october, never on hold
Thanks! No, but I added the admissions email address to my contacts to hopefully avoid it going to spamCongrats! Did yours also go to Spam like the last set of IIs?
Ok cool, thanks! I also haven't heard anything since submission late August so hoping for the best 😗 Best of luck to you with your interview though!!!Thanks! No, but I added the admissions email address to my contacts to hopefully avoid it going to spam
rooting for you!Ok cool, thanks! I also haven't heard anything since submission late August so hoping for the best 😗 Best of luck to you with your interview though!!!
I didn’t do thank you notes and got acceptedFor peeps who have interviewed, what did ya’ll do for thank you letters? Seems like they don’t really care about them but they still welcome applicants to upload them if they wish? Do peeps who didn’t upload thank you notes get As? Thanks!
Same here but 8/30.. the silence hurts :')Been complete since 7/26 and no news at all.... pure torture
Does anyone know when they typically start accepting off WL? or how many they accept? Thanks in advance 🙂
I think someone said they have 300 on the waitlist, so about 10-15% get in off the WLThey historically have taken ~30-35 off the WL. Movement tends to start in May
Yeah they said 10-15%. Hopefully this doesn't violate my NDA 🙊I think someone said they have 300 on the waitlist, so about 10-15% get in off the WL
Yes it is!Is UCSD’s curriculum p/f?
Here's the link to the GroupMe for accepted students!Is there a group-me for accepted student? 💞
Complete back in August… still nothinganyone still waiting for any communication LOL also did they send an update to those of you who have already interviewed stating when they're going to be done sending IIs?
Complete back in August… still nothing
+1same
Idk if any schools explicitly tell anyone when they're done sending out IIs, but based purely on last year's UCSD SDN thread, the latest reported II was 2/24/23 and the latest reported interview date was 3/7/23. So based on that, I think they're pretty much done. But who knows?anyone still waiting for any communication LOL also did they send an update to those of you who have already interviewed stating when they're going to be done sending IIs?
I can't necessarily speak to their perception but only my process- I was waitlisted in a previous cycle and they didn't accept updates until a certain point in the cycle (late April for me). In that late April email they mentioned specifically they were open to accepting LOIs/updates, so I can't imagine it would hurt you and could possibly help you (given you submit it at the time they ask for it). Someone please correct me if this has changed this/last year but that was how my cycle went!Sorry if this has already been asked, but does anyone know how SD perceives LOI for someone on the WL?

Literally same like i can't reach out i'm just sitting here waiting for the sweet release of death (R)![]()
just send me the R already
I asked them for the status back in January and they never responded 😭😭😭 like pls js do it already, end my miseryLiterally same like i can't reach out i'm just sitting here waiting for the sweet release of death (R)
please do...they never responded to me and in their File Complete email they said it would only take 3-4 months to reach a decisionDoes it hurt to send an email asking about whether they are still sending II at this point? I am genuinely confused by how my August application still has not updates.
where did you get the link for that group? I never got an email for it.Here's the link to the GroupMe for accepted students!
