UCI is the only school that hasn’t even sent me an email to create a portal. does that automatically mean a rejection? or should I email them and ask?

Well, it can't hurt to ask by this point lol

 

[matted_chinchilla]

Based on the following from the portal's FAQ, I believe they do and you can submit it via Communication Status > Send Update!
Here's a screenshot below:

Why cannot I not find where to submit one

On the sidebar, click "Communication Status." You should then find "Send Update" under it!

It could mean you were screened out prior to receiving a secondary

 

[shadowclaw77]

+1 OOS II (PRIME-LEAD-ABC)!!

 

[PowerpuffMD]

Is there a group available for accepted students?

 

[MikeTrout27]

does UCI accept pre-ii update letters?

 

[DripKing]

Does anyone know if the PRIME-LC interview is occurring on the same day as our normal MD interview, or is it going to be scheduled on a much later date?

I did LEAD-ABC, but it's essentially the same format. All on the same day, you just have the additional LC activities. You should see more details regarding this on your AMP Portal agenda.

Did you ever hear anything from them? I also never received any email from them

If they did and it yielded anything, they would have shared it here a long time ago.

I'm in the same boat and I got a secondary right away last year. I also got a secondary from UCSF, which I didn't get last year, so that indicates my application is stronger given UCSF is the most picky out of all the UCs for secondaries. So who knows what's really going on.

 

[Isagi]

I did not receive a secondary sadly...

 

[anoncat525]

for those who go to uci undergrad, in your student access records tab, do you also see a "medical" option next to undergraduate?

Ironically I got secondaries from all my reaches including SF and LA, who can really know what machinations drive this process

Yup! I see it but i doubt it means anything

 

[anoncat525]

I figured hahaah but ima keep the hopes up!

 

[zestyzesty]

[mmnu100!]

[erwinsmith]

[RealerHealer]

[ConfusedPreMed247]

+1 IS II MSTP

 

[research-girlie]

Thoughts on sending an update letter pre-secondary? Or does that seem too desperate? IS non-trad first-gen applicant if it makes a difference

Aren't we past the secondary deadline now? I haven't received one either

 

[research-girlie]

I thought so. But someone on admit put that they received a secondary this month so maybe not?

 

[pink5diva]

same, haven’t received one i figured by now i just never will but still holding out a smidge of hope 🩷

 

[pemingtons]

For those who have received II recently, around when are they scheduling for at this point? I know someone who got an II months ago and her interview is in January.

 

[cocoakrispies]

+1 IS A!! Interviewed 11/10
Got the call about two hours ago 🙂

 

[mistarodgas]

I interviewed in early September and have not heard anything back since, is this a bad sign considering others have interviewed after me and got accepted (OOS)

 

[TeaTree2025]

Does anyone know typically when PRIME-LC acceptances come out?

Got it around 3pm PST

 

[SurvivingPremedd]

OC resident and UCI alum. UCI is my top choice, and I haven’t heard anything yet. Do you think it’s still reasonable to be hopeful at this point in the cycle?

 

[sirenatropi]

does anyone have recommendations on how to prepare for the video assessment portion? should I review MMI-style questions or are they more personal? any insight is appreciated!!!!

 

[SurvivingPremedd]

Does anyone think we will see another wave of interviews in Jan/Feb?

 

[JPace24]

Perhaps! Let's see where the cookie ends up crumbling.

Hello. I received the acceptance package last week and I noticed that based on the timeline, prime LC will be starting in June. During the interview, I understood that they were planning on changing the summer immersion program and have the prime students start in August with everyone else. It’s still early, I know. But in case I get accepted to the prime LC program, I was wondering if starting in June meant I could qualify for graduate plus loans (going away after July 1st this year). If there is a current med student who knows anything, can you please answer here or privately? Appreciate it!

I also was wondering this as well. I know other programs have discussed moving up their start date before July 1st so this upcoming cohort could qualify for Grad plus loans. For example, I heard Charles Drew will be starting in June I believe? I have not heard UCI talk about this but hopefully they will have another info session for accepted applicants to ask?

IS pre ii rejection

 

[SilentCavalier]

+1 IS II. Currently can't see any available dates, but they had something in the interview information section to write an email to them so they can update the portal to allow scheduling. Anybody else have this issue?

 

[mountaingoat23]

IS pre II rejection as well

 

[Egret_Farmer]

+1 pre-II instate R… Complete 08/12, LM 82.90.

 

[doctorendgame]

Post-secondary pre-II rejections are coming out en mass and I haven't even gotten a pre-secondary rejection. WTF!?
