I, being an antsy overplanner, am hoping to find the statistics for how many applicants receive secondaries, receive interviews, and things like that. The MSAR has information for how many applied, were interviewed, and matriculated, but there's no info about how many received secondaries or were actually accepted. If you know any of these numbers, post them here!

UCSD
AMCAS received: 5500
Secondaries granted: 1927
Interviews offered: 589
Accepted: unknown

UCSF
AMCAS received: 5609
Secondaries granted: ~1500
# Interviewed (more may have declined interview): 558
Accepted: unknown

I'm not sure if schools give out their acceptance info. I could be wrong though.

"More may have declined"? Does this mean that once you have received a secondary invite, your chance of getting an interview is more than 50%? How do you know if you don't mind me asking?

I'm mixing numbers from different sources, so I should put a disclaimer on there. The ~1500 secondaries is a number I got from the UCSF website. The 558 who were interviewed is a number I got from the MSAR. I don't know how many were actually offered an interview. I don't think this necessarily means that your chances at an interview are >50%, though. My gut tells me that fewer than 200 declined their interview, but I could be wrong.
