I have a 509 3.8 with multiple issues on my app such as W's and gaps in education. However, UCSF it seems wants students who represent varying aspects of life. For me being homeless, losing two fathers due to the lack of healthcare in rural California, and focusing my efforts on communities completely underrepresented and misunderstood by modern medicine is what I believe got me an interview. I think UCSF is unique as stats are not the main priority, they also want people who understand the challenges the daily person endures and how we can implement that into medicine.
I also got a secondary with a 506 and 3.9. I do think I will be getting a rejection soon and got my secondary in September. I think to some degree statistics do matter and mind just seem too low.

seriously, though good luck to you all on here and I hope you get in!
 
From previous years data, is it fair to assume that they won’t be sending out more secondaries? I haven’t received a secondary or been rejected, complete silence since submitting

When you gave them a post-interview update, did they respond to you to confirm they received it?

If they send you one this late it's cause they need funding for their budget

pre-II R on Tuesday also, didn't have the strength thru finals to post till rn 😔
 
Yes, they replied to my email to confirm but it took a few days.
"We have received your update and will distribute it once the admission cycle concludes. Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions." This is their response. I am a bit confused why they distribute the update when the admission cycle concludes? So does it mean my updates will not be factored into their decision, and it is more meant for if I get WL, they will consider it then?

“Thank you for your email. We’ve added your update to your application file.” This is the response I got. I think they accidentally sent you the response they send for thank you notes because I know those get distributed at the end of the cycle

Did anyone else get a financial aid letter in the mail? Is it indicative of anything or did everyone who interviewed receive it as well?
 
should I submit a post-II update now, or wait until after the holidays? I think their decisions come out mid february
 
OOS Pre-II R, not going to lie... I'm not taking this one well. Good to luck to those still in the running, I hope your dreams come true.

+1 IS II just now for SJV PRIME. Complete 9/24. The email also said that I need to join an informational session held on a different day but I don't see a link to register for this in email or on the applicant portal. Do they send this later?

Hi, I just got an IS II for the JMP (LM 78, complete 8/21) and I am confused about whether it is also an II for the traditional MD program. The subject line is “UCSF School of Medicine – Interview Invitation – Joint Medical Program (JMP)” and the exact wording of the invite is “The UCSF School of Medicine and the University of California, Berkeley, Joint Medical Program invite you to interview for consideration to become a student at our medical school.”

Did anyone else who’s gotten an II for both the JMP and the traditional MD get an email with different wording? Any insight would be super appreciated, thank you!!!

I have the same question. I got an invite for SJV PRIME and have the same verbiage in my email - "The UCSF School of Medicine and San Joaquin Valley Program in Medical Education (SJV PRIME) invite you to interview for consideration to become a student at our medical school." I haven't heard from anyone having two separate interview days (i.e., one for the MD program and one for SJV PRIME), but I am not sure.

I got the same email yesterday, but for some reason, I can't schedule any interview dates, and now I'm concerned that they accidentally sent an interview invite to me. I emailed them and tried calling but I guess I just have to wait.
