No clue what it means but no UID for me... No II yet

 

[red672]

I've had once since I got my secondary and no II yet

same, have. UID but no II. Could be similar to UCI and their UID that means nothing as far as admissions decisions.

It looks like there are no reported A’s last week? Interesting!

Think I remember from last cycle that they do a week of reviews, rank students numerically, then take the top of the rank for admission the week after. So you could be ranked like a 7 from a 9/28 interview but someone ranked an 8 from a 10/20 interview gets the slot over you. But then you’d get the spot from someone who gets a 6 from an 11/2 interview. And then in February they waitlist, March they reject.

And this has been confirmed how exactly? (Just curious lol)

No official confirmation, just sharing my experience as a reapplicant. The UID is new for UCLA it seems, so who knows what its used for.

 

[xxerosx]

Does anyone else feel discouraged by the lack of decisions so far? I've been so hard on myself for how poorly my interviews went, and I can't get the feeling of impending disappointment out of my mind.

 

[ChocolateCookieCake]

Has anyone who submitted in mid/late August heard back yet about iis? What about prime-LA??

I was marked as complete in late August, but I have not heard back :/ but according to the website, for Prime LA, IIs should be released early december and last year IIs were around Dec. 6ish according to SDN thread

Dang, thanks for letting me know. I was wondering if anyone who was prime-LA happened to get a trad MD ii but it doesn't seem like anyone has reported that?

I think we are running out of time. I think they only send II until mid November

We still have time!! Don't give up. 🙂

btw here is the link for Prime LA!: Med Degree | FAQ | UCLA Med School

for reference I applied for both trad and Prime, but no trad MD II

I’m a current student at UCLA. The UID is not new and it unfortunately doesn’t mean anything.

 

[biryani26]

For anyone who recently interviewed, was there a timeline on when we would hear back after the interview?

Try focusing on other schools and start seeing their quality. It really helps not concentrate all your love at one place and helps you sort of diffuse the power you give over to UCLA admissions. There are way better schools out there that you probably aren’t considering.

Do you know when they typically release decisions for students with low stats and performed poorly on their interviews?

sorry what type of question is this lol?

 

[Bropro]

a powerful combo of self-deprecation + plea for reassurance it sounds like lol

 

[TheD1Doctor]

Made it to Nov. and still no secondary. Have they sent Rs out already?

Rejections come out in March, if that's what you're asking lol.

 

[futuremd1122]

Appeal to school-specific thread: Geffen UCLASOM required PREview for the 2023-2024 cycle.

Complete the 2023 Situational Judgment Test Experience survey.

HPSA/SDN has the 2023 SJT Experience Survey available to anyone preparing for SJTs (especially Casper and PREview). If you completed the 2022 survey, you are welcome to go ahead and complete the survey again. This survey consists of multiple pages and will take up to 10 minutes. You can also place yourself on a waitlist for a study focusing more on school-run SJTs run through platforms like Kira Talent, to be released later in the year.

Your feedback matters!
We learned a lot about how applicants prepared for Casper and PREview last year, but the number of PREview schools has almost doubled this cycle! Over 20% of all AMCAS applicants will likely have taken PREview, and up to 90% of all medical school applicants will likely have taken Casper this cycle (according to Acuity Insights). This does not include applicants in non-medical professions who have had to take these assessments for admission to physician assistant, anesthesiology assistant, dental, veterinary, pharmacy, or physical therapy programs, where we see a trend that applicants with higher Casper results are preferred. Medical residency applicants are also being asked to complete Acuity Insights Assessments, and very little is known about how program directors use these data. Your responses are vital to get objective insights on how admissions committees value the results of these exams.

Your feedback matters!
We want to hear from as many people as possible, especially those attending or applying outside of medicine (MD/DO). This year saw an expansion of SJTs in admissions, and more information has been made available on preparing for these assessments. We want to stay current with these trends to guide future applicants and students facing these SJTs.

Many of our findings from the 2022 survey align with the NAAHP Testing Task Force report released last summer. This includes concerns about proctoring, consistency of scoring, and concern that applicants are paying for validity research. But we need more student voices to gain a louder voice to advocate for future health professional school applicants.

Your feedback has helped HPSA develop a workshop focused on preparing for SJTs like Casper and PREview. This workshop is part of our Becoming a Student Doctor preparation course, and we have already had some positive results among those who have participated in our mock interview workshops. An updated workshop will be presented at the UC Davis Prehealth Conference on October 14, and we welcome opportunities to present the full-length SJT workshop to your campus!

Fill out this survey and help future applicants become physicians in their chosen profession!

I never got an email saying that I was complete, although all parts of my application are labeled submitted in the application portal. I submitted back in August. Anyone else in the same boat?

I emailed them about this, and they said my application was complete. It seems like they don't always send that out.

 

[yaboifoggy]

Made it to Nov. and still no secondary. Have they sent Rs out already?

Also have not received a secondary, not looking great but have not seen any Rs sent out yet. Curious if anyone else is in the same position.

Same position. I was assuming that they we’re waiting to send Rs in a wave but idk now

 

[diamond82q]

Same position as well. I got all other UC secondaries so not sure what happened

 

[Neuroscienist]

OOS II yesterday, complete 9/15, LM 68, only January interview dates available. I'm excited for the opportunity😊.

 

[premedgirly17]

Isnt January the last month they interview? Does that mean their II season is pretty much over since people are saying they are scheduling into Jan as of today? :/

Their website says interviews end in March

Oh that’s great news! I was just going off the FAQ on this tab in their admissions page. The FAQ about when interviews are said typically concludes around Jan, but was hoping that wasn’t the case. When Do Med School Interviews Start? | UCLA Med School

Not sure why there’s conflicting info on their website, but this page says interviews are held from August-March and has the dates for this cycle: Medical School Application | UCLA Med School

BTW does anyone know how they use PREView in admissions? Is it pre or post II?

[sdfwr312]

I intentionally answered a few questions on preview wrong because I heard schools like bad boys. 5/9 and I got an II.
