lol you guys have to keep in mind not every haider is on SDN. It does suck that a lot of deserving applicants weren’t considered though.

im a ucr undergrad, met MANY haiders who didnt get II
What sucks about that whole haider initiative is they are backed up with it. There are haiders who graduated in 2020 who are just now getting a spot. They only get to reserve 25 spots for certain. That can’t even cover 1 years worth of pre meds that graduate from ucr 💀. It’s a cool initiative, but in reality it’s damn near just as competitive as the regular applicant pool.

Each year 250-300 UCR students or grads apply through AMCAS for med schools. So only 10% can can get the haider A.

I got an II mid-february and just had my interview this past saturday (I think it went really well!) I'm In-state, strong ties to the IE. Are there any patterns with when they're sending out As? I know Loma Linda was like once a month on Thursdays, so I was curious if it seemed like there was a pattern to how UCR is sending out admissions offers. They told me the soonest I could possibly hear back would be late march/early april. Good luck to everyone still waiting on some news!

Honestly doesnt seem like a pattern to me!
 
I’m so over this cycle. I’ve been on an emotional roller coaster with all these schools since last July. It’s really taken a toll on my mental health 🫠😭. I dont understand why there just can’t be a set date where they let people who interviewed know if they got the spot or not; that way we can move on with our lives.
Same, they know they can string us along until whenever so they don't bother making it easier on us 🙁

I have my interview this Tuesday and im super anxious. Anyone who interviewed have any tips or feedback that would be helpful? This might be my only shot at an A this cycle [emoji24]

I think something that helped me was tying in personal experiences with every question that aligns with their mission (aka helping/educating medically underserved) if the question allows for it! This helped for basically every mission-fit school i interviewed haha. Good luck you got this!
