I have my interview tmr! Any advice?

I am sure you have heard everyone say this but TRULY be yourself for this one.

 

[Wolfgang-M]

I think they will send out some today my brothers and sisters.

what makes u say that?

 

[Wolfgang-M]

what makes u say that?

Just based on the past 3 years. They have sent out a few decisions around this time and on a friday. They have done it on the 4th or 6th. But also have done it on the 12th so it could also be next week. But we shall see.

 

[Wolfgang-M]

It seems like I was wrong people. Apparently no A's were sent out today (none reported at least) I apologize for this unsatisfactory outcome. I'll be better. I think next week will be the day. The 13th-14th. Let the waiting game continue.

You'll have two essentially back to back traditional interviews. Neither seemed like they intended to be stress interviews. Both were open file, typical questions. My experience was pleasant; I felt the interviewers were very conversational and willing to go "off-script" a bit.

The staff seemed stressed. They pack a lot of students per interview day and it's a lot to coordinate. Like other schools, the presentations are primarily about the curriculum and resources at the school. Pretty much everyone already knows most of what there is to know about the school by the time they are interviewing so it's just a lot of staring at each other in anxiety until the interview.

There is a small breakout round-robin kind of thing where you cycle through students and faculty in a group. It's an interesting format and you have the opportunity to get to know a little bit about the other applicants, but it wasn't very much time at all. At the same time, I felt it was necessary because at least in my group, any time the floor was open for questions, almost everyone raises their hand (usually to ask pretend, prepared questions that waste everyone's time)... so it was nice to have a smaller breakout and have more opportunities to speak at all.

Overall, you might even have fun if you can let go of the nerves. Easy for me to say, I know. Hopefully we're classmates next year!

Thank you for sharing this! Do they low-key evaluate us based on asking questions even outside of our interviews?

 

[azsxdcqwerty]

Does anyone else have any insights for doing well on UCLA’s interview day? Good luck everyone!

+1 OOS II, secondary submitted late Sep.

 

[rushingtide]

OOS II. Submitted secondary 8/12. Just broke down crying at home. Older late 30s non trad with low stats, and in utter, total shock. What the hell.

 

[smoney1178]

+1 OOS II, secondary submitted late Sep.

Lm!?

 

[CubaMed305]

For those of us who interviewed late October, any idea when we'd be hearing back?

 

[oranges90]

Lm!?

69 and 9 PREview (if that even matters lol)

 

[Wolfgang-M]

For those of us who interviewed late October, any idea when we'd be hearing back?

Could be this week could be in January. We will never know

 

[lukeocyte]

I feel you, I'm waiting for some love from my state school too (Maryland). I'll take any II and gladly go wherever I may be accepted, but it would involve uprooting my spouse and kids. Hope you get the II soon!

Not at all. We're here as a resource for you to learn what you need to learn about UCLA.

Do they weigh how high our preview score is in their decisions for acceptance? Or is it more of meeting a threshold? Or still just an experimental consideration for now?

No one knows except for ppl in admissions. Preview is something that's been debated a lot. Some people think it is just a money grab from AAMC while others say it actually matters

 

[powerhouzz]

Did anyone get a II Nov 10 for MSTP and get an email just now saying it was a glitch?

 

[doctorendgame]

Boy am I glad I didn't apply for the MSTP.

That should be a crime.

 

[dalvulan]

is UCLA releasing some decisions tomorrow?

 

[Wolfgang-M]

It's possible

 

[Wolfgang-M]

Somebody got accepted according to admit. SHOW yourself!

Interviewed 10/24, got the email this morning

 

[Wolfgang-M]

Interviewed 10/24, got the email this morning

Did you get a Call after the email? Just asking cause that would mean (in my neurotic head) that they don't send all the A's at once and instead send some and then call and continue doing so throughout the day lol. But again HUGE!

Hey y'all. Did anyone get this email:

I thought PREview scores through the AAMC were automatically sent to AMCAS programs?

Got the same email and had no issues with any other apps, portal also said my app was complete right after submitting a secondary

 

[cbasco02]

Am curious, why are some of us getting that email and others (such as myself) are not (o_o')
For context, I haven't received an II, haha.

Knowing my luck it's prob because we are already waiting in the R pile.

It ain't over 'til it's over, my friend! No need to be an optimist, but don't be so quick to reject yourself either. You worked hard, be proud of that.

I'll go ahead and write them back and see what's going on.

Thee who has lost hope has lost the plot.

Be kind to yourself.

 

[Wolfgang-M]

Somebody got waitlisted according to Admit.

On Oct 30th of this year, somebody got the A email at around 2:30 pm PST. I THINK that the day is not over, boys and gals. I think we will see a couple more today.
