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?

 

[hamsterdoc]

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?

submitted 6/24 verified 8/7!

 

[achiles_07]

+1 IS II

Primary verified 8/28, Secondary received 8/29; Secondary sent in 9/10, II received 9/18

 

[nmmmm]

I haven't recieved a secondary and its been about three weeks- is there no hope?

 

[sillygoose14]

I havent received a secondary and I submitted early august, emailed them and they said still under review so Idk

 

[igwe2912]

I have not received a secondary either

 

[baller2230]

Hi, for those who received an II how long until they got back to you with a date?

 

[nmmmm]

I emailed admissions about an update about my application but recieved no response assume they are very busy atm

 

[nmmmm]

OOS! pre-secondary R

 

[lulu_med]

OOS! pre-secondary R

me too, but my mission aligned with their mission fit. I wonder if I should reach out? or R is R and no appeals will apply? :c

 

[aangela9]

On admit.org, it seems like they also sent out some post-secondary rejection today. I submitted my secondary on the first of August and I still haven’t heard anything from them. Does this mean they are still considering me?

 

[sillygoose14]

me too, but my mission aligned with their mission fit. I wonder if I should reach out? or R is R and no appeals will apply? :c

I just got the R too, I think an R is an R tbh, my mission aligned too in my eyes but asking for a secondary seems kinda pointless when they decided to reject you

Received one on a Wednesday and heard back with a date the following Monday

for those who have already had their interview what tips would you recommend to help better prepare for the interview?

[rettygologama]

I haven't seen an interview invite in a while. Getting worried because November is the last month they send out interviews.

Where did you hear this?

 

[Mayajae]

Where did you hear this?

It was in the email they sent after submitting the secondary

 

[achiles_07]

This is the email stating that. I am sure that they will either extend this window or work extra to get those interview outs. Don't stress, we got this.

 

[antsforlife]

are they still sending out secondary invites? feeling bummed with no secondary

 

[antsforlife]
