Anyone have any idea when UCSD sends out Secondary invites?

 

[MaxDakota]

Got an email saying my state connections aren’t strong enough for a secondary. Worth appealing? Not from SD but family is and I lived in eastern WY for a long time

 

[Orthobro56]

is there any interviews given out yet?

Late December interview (12/19/25). I believe committee met on Saturday 1/17/26 and results will be out on 1/19/26 (MLK day) or 1/20/26. Great program! Very impressive and a ton of opportunities to pursue in research, service, travel! Good luck to everyone!

Update: Decision came out 9:59amEST Tuesday, 1/20/26

Final admissions meeting of year will be on Saturday February 28. I have read that most students are put into pending category, with only a few admitted at previous admission meetings. Most students will find out admission result (Admission, Waitlist, or Rejection) on the Monday following the final meeting, this year, March 2. Best of luck to everyone.

[medpre2026]

Yes, I received one. Best of luck!

Put on alternate? What time today?

 

[MoonlightHedgehog]

Did anyone get an admit? Or a rejection? Do you think everyone who doesn’t hear anything on the first day of results (in this case March 2) will receive a rejection? I hope not. Any info would be appreciated! Good luck everyone!

Was waitlisted yesterday. Anyone got any idea how much the list typically moves, or is expected to move?

 

[zwhalez]

Just got off the waitlist! Does anyone know if there's like an accepted student GC or something along those lines?
