It's a total black box whether they read your app or use cutoffs.

Me getting the primary received email and not the secondary.

Wait, if you're a third-time reapplicant, this is your fourth cycle, right? UCLA only allows 2 reapplications, so 3 applications total. If they are strict on that, you might not get a secondary.

Nice catch. This is my third go-around, just edited my signature.

Does anyone know if you apply to one of their pathway programs if they see your responses when they are reviewing their secondary? Or if they don't even look at them unless you are accepted as normal MD first?

No, but the schools might have received them first (like with CASPer). My applicant took PREView around 6/15, and AAMC says it takes a month. So not sure.

did anyone apply to PRIME-LA? I don't see a section to complete for it on the secondary application?

 

[sarcasmrules]

I think that's the Urban Health Equity program now.

 

[sarcasmrules]

The secondary portal for UCLA doesn't list PREview as a requirement. I think they'll review your application without it and take it into consideration whenever it's available. @doctorellewoods

I THINK UCLA is experimenting with PREview this year. If I recall correctly, some of the schools that discontinued CASPer required it for their school but didn't need it for your application to be complete.

OOS secondary received last night, 7/13. received email that they were reviewing my application on 7/10.

 

[wysdoc]

For anyone who got the secondary, is there a COVID prompt this year?

Look at the first post in this thread- it’s question #3.

[jrlybob1]

+1 IS, got the primary review email 07/10

 

[ajshjdfhkajsdhfjk]

does anyone know if the COVID prompt is necessary to fill out? It doesn't say optional but it does say the page is complete without me filling it out. I didn't write a covid prompt bc by the time I got to college things were mostly back to normal so it really hasn't impacted my journey to medical school that much. I guess I could write something but not sure if it's necessary. If anyone has any insight on if it would look bad if I didn't write anything let me know.

Yes lol I got the "primary under review" email 7/10. I am assuming this means I am not getting a secondary?

no, i got that email and got the secondary a few days afterwards. but i've heard the screening is more selective than other schools + requirements are holistic so no idea who gets one
