I don't want to be a Debbie Downer, but disciplinary actions like this are usually application killers, especially if they're on your record. From what I've seen, usually premeds like this take a few years off to do other things and then reapply years later, talking about what they've learned from their experience, or they go Caribbean.
I don’t know how true the mcat blind part is. They definitely weigh in your mcat score. And if push came to shove they will choose an applicant with a higher mcat score than you with a similar background or “distance traveled”.
I strongly disagree with this....everyone has made a mistake in life yes. But if the person shows growth and a clear progression, I don't see this as detrimental. Your story and your why for medicine is what will make or break your application. I personally have taken the MCAT 3 times and have had mixed scores across (all low 500s) and even did worse on my third attempt compared to my second. I thought I was done but I had 3 interviews this cycle and all of them have been As (MD). Show growth and share your story...that's it imo
Would it be for this cycle or the upcoming one?
Number one piece of advice. Apply broadly. Even if your heart is set on UCR, it’s important to recognize the opportunity cost of not gaining admission and having to reapply the following cycle. It is well worth applying to more programs than you initially anticipate, as many qualified applicants miss out on admission simply because they limited themselves to only a few schools.
yeh i've done lots of reflecting and worked towards improving. im in my second gap year
Hi there! I was just wondering where on the MSAR website for UCR does it say they are increasing the class size by 6?
Oh wow holy cow! Thank you so much! Haha same it's been really stressful but wish you the best of luck!
Wow congrats! Are you a Haider applicant?
Thank you! Also, not Haider!
Congrats future doc!!
Was it a no caller ID number?
Thank you <3
Nope, it was a 951 number!
Both
on the waitlist rn as of 3/26, waiting feels unbearable 🙁(
3/26 so i believe it was, but someone correct me if i'm wrong!
Yes this is the first batch! It looks like there were three different batches of waitlist and I’m assuming they’re going to go in order if/when they pull from it
I know they have definitely accepted more than the 24 they said in the past. I think it’s a minimum of 24 not really a cap. But for WL I’m not really sure.
Considering the number of us on the WL, Im thinking they might be waiting till the end to accept Haiders. I think I heard somewhere that Haiders are told the last/very late in the cycle.
I know last cycle multiple haiders found out before mid may.
Do you have a guess when the other two batches were sent out?
Looks like 4/3, 4/16 on cycletrack!
Sweet thank you 🙏🏻
I’m sorry, Im new to this, what happens May 15th?
May 15th is the deadline for students who have been accepted to cte to ucr. By then most of the spots should be occupied. Any date past May 15th the chances of getting off the WL dwindle substantially.
There was a decent amount of WL movement in the previous years between 5/15 and 6/1. After June however things will really slow down.
The way I see it, people aren’t going to wait until 5/15 exactly it wouldn’t be the smartest thing to do.
When did u get pulled off?
