I'm on a pre II hold and I did not get the update email lol

Same, hopefully it does not mean R incoming lol

 

[MikeTrout27]

How much weight should I give this interview hold email? I can’t tell how many people have received it and have mentally accepted reapplying lol

 

[Tasogaredoki]

I have an interview coming up in a few days and was wondering if we're allowed to type notes on a blank Google Doc or something? I type much faster than I write :’)

I saw this question asked in 2023 threads but that had conflicting answers, so I’d appreciate any insight from those who have interviewed here

I feel like that should be totally fine tbh. I wrote mine down but I don't think they care too much about how you take notes.

I would recommend confirming if that’s ok just in case an interviewer sees typing and thinks you’re googling, just to be safe!

At this stage in the cycle, if you haven’t heard ANYTHING, I’d suggest figuring out what reapplying looks like to you. It sounds like a decent amount of people got the email and there are no promises because all slots are still filled.

Prepare for the worst and hope for the best.

Good luck

Does UCSD still have another wave of acceptances coming?

[Dom Dolla]

noted, i'll see you all back in state for residency 🫡

 

[dshaka50]

100%, kinda also seems like everyone gets a WL, Im seeing less Rs but not totally sure

Conspiracy/spiraling applicant hat here, but was also going to say WL seems to be much bigger than years past. I know they had a few issues last year with getting back to people on time post interview, so maybe instead of spending time deciding WL/R, they just threw everyone on WL until they have time. All theory, no evidence.

 

[PistachioSkies]

do people recommend writing a thank you note at UCSD?

 

[Mangoenthusiast]

I just withdrew my A so hopefully it goes to one of y’all!

I'm just like what is taking so long 😩. I just want to know now no matter what the result is because at least I can start planning for next steps but I feel like i'm in an endless loop of waiting.

Do you know what interview dates should be awaiting decisions? Are they still in late January or are they already into February?

 

[WarmDonuts001]

I interviewed on 1/30 😥 I'm feeling so nervous because decisions are supposed to come out today

 

[WestCoastPolitoed]

Unfortunately, this I am unsure of, apologies! But if you did not receive any email of acceptance, rejection, or waitlist, you are likely in a later batch.

 

[oligeek]

Have MSTP decisions come out for any of yalls yet?

Not yet [emoji24]

 

[oligeek]

Are they expected for sure today[emoji24][emoji24]

No I don’t think so lol… sometime “late Feb early March” which is actual torture

 

[WarmDonuts001]

IS R through email just now D':

All good! Now that I think about it, I believe they said that my interview date (which was mid-February) should expect decisions 03/14.

[breadsea]

Last year no one got off the waitlist but I’ve also heard rumors they’re accepting less this year so they’ll hopefully have more wl movement

 

[ray17]

IS pre II R after being put on hold 🙁

 

[tomatosoup1]

does anyone know how flexible the classes are here? what percentage of them are required vs recorded and can be watched later?

I was under the impression there was a looot of mandatory class time

 

[AnonysaurusRex]

Depends on the year! MS1s and MS2s both have alternating on-campus/asynchronous days. The days vary based on where in the organ block you’re on, but nearly every Wednesday is the long day of 8-5ish with a one hour lunch break, but the afternoon classes are usually more chill and this is for both years. First years are in-person Tuesdays and Fridays 8-12 and on Mondays 8-12 on the first day of a block. Every few weeks there’s an afternoon Tuesday class that runs 1-3ish. MS2s have Monday and Thursday in person 8-12 and some Tuesdays will be in person, but that’s been pretty rare. Thursdays will have a class every so often from 1-3ish. Most lectures are pre-recorded and the in-person days are smaller group activities meant to be more engaging or interactive.

 

[PistachioSkies]

does anyone know how post interview decisions are weighted? is it more based on the interviews and MMI or based on GPA/MCAT/etc? nervous because it seems like most people on admit have been waitlisted

 

[se1ofn]

has anyone heard when PRIME decisions will be released?

 

[gh0stgurl]

During my interview, Brian said once they release decisions on March 21, they will release prime decisions on the days to follow (allegedly)

Curious when you interviewed, when I interviewed for PRIME I thought that they said decisions would be out 03/14

I thought tomorrow is regular MD decisions for 2/13 since we have to get into the school first to be considered for PRIME?

Interviewed 03/04 so it may vary for different people I suppose. A friend interviewed 02/25 & was given the same info. They may come in waves
