This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Pre-II R, was on hold for a while. looks like this is the end of interviews based on the emails, good luck to everyone still in the running! 🙂
 
Is anyone else thinking about taking the CTBS course? Or are there any current or past MS's who have taken it?
 
I know this was answered previously, but it's several pages back. What's the waitlist movement like? They say its unranked, but I'm guessing theres a tier system behind the scenes. Got that WL email Friday, but still holding hope.

10%. 30-35 admitted out of 300 WLs (from MSAR and confirmed by UCSD admissions office). I don't think it's ranked and they reevaluate apps for admissions

My theory is that once someone withdraws their A, they refer back to the waitlist and offer a spot to someone that would allow them to uphold the diverse class they have created. So, if someone with massive amounts of clinical experience withdrew their A, they would then review all waitlisted applicants with massive amounts of clinical experience and decide from there. Of course, that’s only one factor and I am sure they consider much more than that, but that’s my loose guess 🤷🏻‍♀️

are they still sending IIs...? Never been on hold or rejected. No communication since August, even when I tried emailing asking for an update a few times

I don’t think so. I interviewed on 3/5 and they said we were the last interview group. It was also the last PRIME interview. They told us PRIME decisions would be released/made mid March but no specific date (I know you didn’t ask about PRIME but wanted to provide that info for anyone else reading). Also, they told us after our interview that decisions would be released on 3/15 (which was true in my case)

I don’t think there’s been any PRIME A’s yet but I hope there is sometime soon!

No, I just got the R pre II ... said they filled their class already so they're rejecting the rest of us who haven't heard anything

at least you got a R. Still waiting on a ton of schools to tell us one way or another where we stand.
 
Random but as I looked at previous years' threads, they mention a conditional acceptance program at ucsd. Does anyone know anything about that?

People that are:
1) waitlisted at UCSD
2) do not get into any other medical school
3) are not accepted into UCSD that year
Are sometimes 'randomly' selected and given conditional acceptance to UCSD once they take some classes at UCSD and maintain above a certain GPA cutoff.

I don't think its only WL people. The reports I saw are people who did not get an II to UCSD that randomly had a UCSD WL pop up in their CYMS tool (done so that UCSD can see if they have PTE somewhere).

From my understanding I do believe it’s only waitlist people, but its easier for the school to just put everyone on cyms. Regardless i do know its mainly a urm focused program that takes about 5 applicants. Its one year of post bacc courses and auto admit for a 3.5+.

Why would people who didn't interview suddenly get put on the WL then?... and if they did come from the actual WL, they would already be in the CYMS? Definitely think there is at least a mix of true WL applicants and non-interviewed applicants that get invited to the program.
