in my autobiography and possible career pathway essays, i talk about wanting to advance health equity and serve underserved communities, which kind of exactly fits what the PRIME-HEq program is about. would it be a red flag or will adcoms question if i don't apply to PRIME-HEq? i'm just not interested in the 5-year/masters aspect of the program

Nope they won't care. These essays are more for after you get accepted.

Im confused with the UCSD interview format for people applying for PRIME? Since there are PRIME specific interview days (per the portal), does that mean I can get a regular MD II for a different day as well? Confusing since I thought PRIME candidacy was reviewed once you get in.

hey for question about additional MMEs, it says "We would also like to know if a letter of recommendation has been submitted on your behalf by somebody you worked with through this experience.If you do not have a letter from this experience, simply type N/A. This information allows Admissions Committee members reviewing your application to more readily match your letters to your experiences and thus facilitates the review of your application. " When they say "through this experience", are they referring to the new experience that we are adding? I am not adding anything but 2 of my MMEs are associated with LORs. I wasnt sure if I had to designate that somewhere and if so, where

Sorry to hear this! But I thought UCSD didn’t really screen and that everyone got secondaries so this is weird.. or I have the wrong info

I was under the impression that all UCs screen. Some just have a more intensive screen than others

heheh yes, I just checked the email again and I guess it is still possible to receive a secondary later on this cycle but it is allegedly "not a common occurrence."

[premed13579]

I also got the Prime interview. If I'm not mistaken, it might be all in one.

+1 IS II GHAC interview. Also was a bit confused if it’s all in one?

 

[sarcasmrules]

Or it could mean they don't have enough interviewers to interview everyone they want to interview so whether you got one has a bit of luck involved.

 

[solarflare1230]

[shiganshina]

[DeterminedWind]

I mean it’s technically now “late”. But, you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take

The difference between now vs submitting two days ago is marginal. Also since uc schools screen they are a little more lenient in terms of submission date. I’d submit it
