Anyone else not receive a secondary or a rejection yet? Do we think there’s any chance they send more secondaries at this point?

“We will send requests for supplemental applications through November.” is what they said in their primary received email

Secondary received 7/8; secondary sent in 7/10, II received 8/14, interview completed 9/3. Now I get to sit in my anxiety until next year for an update.

Good luck to you all on this wild wild ride!

They are selective in mission fit. Not stats per say.

when did you submit your primary?

 

[ItsGonnaTakeAMiracle]

how was the interview?

I cannot go into the details of it, due to the NDA. However, both interviewers were very pleasant, which made it easy to maintain a conversational flow instead of feeling like an inquisition. Just be calm, confident and competent. You have earned this interview! Good luck on Thursday!

For those who got interviewed already what was the timeline from submitting your secondary(letter and everything) to when you got an interview offer?

Hi guys, I noticed that CDU requires 1 year of organic chemistry lab, however I went to a UC and most students only completed 1 quarter of ochem lab. Does anyone know if there are other courses that can fulfill this requirement, like biochem lab? Thank you!

Thats awesome! Best of luck!!!!!!

 

[Lakers$]

By chance, did any of y'all know how many II invites they have sent out??

 

[aangela9]

Yall, idk if I should be hopeful or give up. I haven’t gotten any post secondary rejection from this school and I submitted my secondary on the 1st of August. But at the same time, it’s taking too long to get an II from them😭. I just need a response already

If it makes you feel better I haven’t even gotten a pre-secondary rejection yet 🤣 No news is good news!

We're still in mid-September. They were sending IIs well into November last year with a lot of them coming up around this time. AMCAS verification took longer than in years before so it's also possible schools are backed up and overwhelmed. Stay the course!

 

[getsomesleep]

when did you submit your primary?
