Have they send their first big wave of IIs yet (based on cycletrack it doesn't seem so)? When do we think that's coming haha

historically they do it on fridays, but it's a bit late for them, so who knows!
II IS complete 7/19 LM 72
edit: applied to MSTP, and received a trad md invite at 4:50 pm PST, I am unsure if this means I was rejected from MSTP. the wording on the website is unclear. would love clarification on this.

So uh y'all... how bad of a sign is it that my primary app was transmitted on day 1 and I still haven't even received a secondary... 😢 CA IS ORM, and quite a few current med students said I'm a fantastic mission fit 
They continue to screen primary applications for several months. I think they start sending pre-secondary rejections in the next month or two. It's not over until you get that R! Hoping for the best for ya 🙂So uh y'all... how bad of a sign is it that my primary app was transmitted on day 1 and I still haven't even received a secondary... 😢 CA IS ORM, and quite a few current med students said I'm a fantastic mission fit
I think you're actually head of any "wave" of IIs. Even on crowdsourced Cycletrack, barely 2% of the expected IIs (based on prior year) have been reported. Congrats on being among the first!

is this specific to UCLA? or a general trend you have been observing this cycle so far as well
This comment was as to UCLA, but most schools are still in the early stage of sending IIs. Many schools will be sending IIs well into October and November, UCLA included. Their biggest waves last year were in Sept., Oct., and November.

read LizzyM staircase analogy. once you are reviewed you are ranked and can be invited to interview any time after.
That makes sense, thanks!

I haven't received one yet 🙁So uh y'all... how bad of a sign is it that my primary app was transmitted on day 1 and I still haven't even received a secondary... 😢 CA IS ORM, and quite a few current med students said I'm a fantastic mission fit
Every medical school have similar missions, so I don't know how accurate that statement. They can be students, but that doesn't mean they know their school's mission and goals to a T. They could also just be telling you a white lie.So uh y'all... how bad of a sign is it that my primary app was transmitted on day 1 and I still haven't even received a secondary... 😢 CA IS ORM, and quite a few current med students said I'm a fantastic mission fit
ucla does not have gpa or mcat cutoffs and there are people who've posted here who got their secondary quickly while under those numbers
Using an unverified rumor to answer a question does more harm than good.
It’s not exactly a rumor—it was a proposed policy by the medical school that suggests a general threshold for what they’re looking for in applicants. I deleted the post with the original mention of hard cut-offs—that's my bad I was misinformed. I didn’t realize that sharing insights into what the admissions committee might be considering would be so frowned upon, but I’m happy to delete it to avoid any further confusion.

Is it a one-on-one interview or MMI? I also recieved an interview and on my application portal it talks about MMI but on the email/website it say one-on-one
from my understanding it’s two one-on-one interviews according to the interview schedule on the website, but i’m not 100% sure on that

Congrats! When were you complete?
9 IIs? Are you a NASA astronaut? 🙂
The answer's obvious. They found the cure to cancer.
In addition to being an Olympic athlete and working for NASA, of course.
Cured cancer, in space, while on the uneven bars in zero gravity. Got it!

7/27
You forgot fixing health equity.
haha no, but I’m honestly still pretty shocked about getting this much love. I think a lot of it has to do with my story. I’ve taken quite a few gap years at this point to really beef up my application and I finally felt ready to apply this year.

I'm not sure how one could be a decent mission fit without any research for a school that is such a heavy research school. But honestly, what do I know. Especially with lower stats, I feel like that's a sure way to beef up ones application.
yeah unfortunately research is a soft requirement for a lot of top med schools, UCLA included.
Submitted 8/4 feeling queasy
