Hope it is not a bad look if I got an II in October for a January interview and haven't done the Kira assessment yet. Maybe this is just my neurotic premed self talking.

If it helps, you're further along than me.

About 50%, according to admit.org.

 

[PistachioSkies]

There are more IIs between January and March based on last year's thread.

Are there any pre-II Rs yet? Pre-secondary Rs come in November usually but I don't see any.

Did anyone else feel weird about the interrogation interview style by their faculty interview? It really felt like my interviewer came out swinging and I was able to dodge the punches for about 40ish minutes of back to back questions. But then I stumbled by not remembering the name of the programming language I used in my part-time data analysis job which felt like the gotcha moment; however, my interviewer did help me remember the name of it before moving on to the next question. I've given it some thought over the past few days, but I still feel weird about it because it felt like I was mostly being fact checked and it wasn't conversational or relaxed like everyone had been saying 😕

Also for those that have already got accepted, did any of you have an experience similar to this?

I've watched a few presentations by their dean of admissions and I recall vaguely they do this just to vibe check you. I think as long as you maintained under pressure then you're fine.

 

[toes412]

when did emails for waitlist/rejections typically come in in the past? did they come in the evening?

 

[toes412]

did the post II rejections receive the “competitive candidate” email?

 

[abc123212321]

Any early October interviews with no news?

 

[carneasdasd]

Will there be an in person second look day this year?

 

[CaptainPrez831]

I'm not sure. I think there might be some. But I as an example received an interview invite in like October and the only available date was in February. IIs may have already been sent for those times.

 

[soupysoup789]

interviewed early dec and they told us we wouldn't hear until the new year but today i got an update saying i was on the WL. did anyone else get that?? was really surprised to hear from them when they reiterated we wouldn't hear any decision until into the new year.

 

[jrlybob1]

anyone have any info on the alternate list and how they order/rank us? i'm missing a pre-req but have other A's so i'm debating whether it's worth the time and money to take the course if there's no chance of me getting off the WL...

Is this school cheaper than the others you’re accepted too? If so, it might be worth it to take the course and stay on the alt list.

Edit: check last year’s thread for WL movement.

 

[ll275]

did everyone on the WL get an email ? are we supposed to be checking our portal?

 

[FlaptavianBird]

Does anyone know if UCI accepts post interview updates/letters of intent?

I’m not sure exactly how UCI decides who gets off the waitlist.

However, adcoms at other universities have said that they try to either find a unique profile or a profile that matches the person that waived the acceptance.

Hope it is not a bad look if I got an II in October for a January interview and haven't done the Kira assessment yet. Maybe this is just my neurotic premed self talking.

i haven’t either. It says that it’s due 2 days prior to interview, so that’s probably when they’ll look at your file. I plan to do mine at least 1-2 weeks in advance.

[poopooface]

Also for those that have already got accepted, did any of you have an experience similar to this?

Sorry to hear that has been some people’s experience.. my faculty interview was so chill and we spent an hour talking about random crap

 

[APCLD]

Also got IS A around 3pm on christmas eve. I interviewed 12/5 too so it was shocking.

[VOLTRON7121]

Any updates on PRIME-LC?

 

[ClashRoyaleKing]

I think there were some prime interviews earlier in the cycle. I think UCI is done with their cycle or very close to wrapping it up, unfortunately.

I believe there is one final day for Prime lead ABC

+1 IS A also on Christmas Eve! Still no email or update in portal

 

[abc123212321]

Are we supposed to email them about not receiving a decision after almost 3 months? I interviewed in early October but haven’t heard anything since but I don’t remember if they told us to email them if more than 6 weeks have passed.

 

[CaptainPrez831]

There’s definitely at least one more, I got an II in October for February.

 

[ClashRoyaleKing]

Yeah, but they already sent those invitations. I don’t think they’re sending any more, unfortunately.

 

[StarGalaxy]

Also got IS A around 3pm on christmas eve. I interviewed 12/5 too so it was shocking.

Yay ditto for both dates (IS A)! No email nor notification in portal as well

 

[Summerlake]

Congratulations!! I just got the email and portal notification today. Thanks everyone who replied!

 

[PistachioSkies]

[ecobio]

people are speculating this, but i dont believe so. my friend got an interview invitation last year in february

 

[TonyStarc]

+1 IS A! Also got the call on Christmas Eve with the email/portal update yesterday. I interviewed pretty early on 9/5!

 

[Trippy123]

I'm currently a student at UCI and my student access tab now has two tabs, one for my undergraduate information and one for my medical tab. I haven't even gotten an II yet so I have no idea what to make of this. Proof:

It might have just popped up there because the admissions committee at UCI made an account for you and, seeing that you already have one, just integrated the portal into your undergraduate portal. Interesting!
