Official 2014 UC Post-Bacc Consortium Thread!
Started by Futuredoctorhopeful1986
Has anyone called the UCR office? When I contacted them a month ago they said that they were tentatively looking at July 28 for the program start date. It seems odd that this would be the last week of interviews and that not one of us have heard from them. If someone is able to get in touch with someone in the UCR office can you please update the rest of us? Thanks in advance!

So it starts in the next five days... I think it is now safe to move on with my plan B!
okay, I just want my rejection letter from UCR already... i want some closure! please!!! i'm begging UCR!! please send me my rejection letter!!!!!
I don't think this is fair for our sanity. They should at least send us some kind of notification.

One of my post-bacc cohort members heard from UCR last week. She said they called her to offer her a position/interview. She is the only one from our cohort here at UCI that has heard anything from them, however she is also from Riverside county. From what I hear, is that UCR is very loyal to students from UCR or Riverside.
Thanks, Dr. Tortilla!

I'd like some closure as well, but the thought of receiving a rejection letter terrifies me. I feel that if they were interested they would've already reached out for an interview. With the days winding down I see the chances of receiving an interview/offer is very, very slim. 🙁
I went to UCR also and I still have not heard anything. I am just assuming that I did not get in and am moving on to plan B. Better options for there anyways.
I am sure there are some great plans for you. Thanks for this info.
It seems a bit too wishful thinking, but I haven't heard anything... hmmm..... should I still be hopeful? 😵😵 haha.. it's funny coz they already started their program 2 weeks ago.
unless i'm not even worthy of that rejection letter.
bahaha! ... UCR should really stop playing with mi cabeza.Thank you ngabr for the info. Like MD_Inspired said, I'm sure there are great plans ahead. We all have different ways of getting there, and there is no set path to medical school.
I also, have not received a rejection email from UCR. I also feel a bit wishful, but woudln't they send us an email letting us know we didn't get it? I do remember calling the office and them mentioning that the program would start at the end of July. I'm really confused.
Anyone else not heard from UCR?

@PINK928 i have also been rejected from UCR. i appreciate the closure, UCR! i can finally breathe, relax, and do awesome with my Plan B.
Does anyone know anyone who got into the ucr program? Good luck to everyone with their plans.
I will definitely be reapplying next year.
I am going to weigh my options as I approach January. I applied for a second bachelor's just in case I didn't get into the program and will be doing that for this coming year. I contacted each of the programs I applied to and asked what could be improved for a more successful application next year-I suggest everyone do the same if you are even considering on reapplying.
I also have been in contact with (realistic) target schools to see what kind of chance I stand and what can/should be done. I'm just another pre-med too, but I do think that getting in touch with realistic target schools is a good idea to see what they recommend, fully understanding that by no means does their advice guarantee admissions (even though I wish it did).
In all honesty though, I wish the best to everyone in our situations!! And maybe study for the MCAT before it changes? Again, I made sure to study for it this summer juuuust in case I didn't get into a program. I think I am a worrier.
I know this is an old post, but just incase anyone wants to respond, I read this…
University of California Schools of Medicine offer comprehensive postbaccalaureate programs designed to assist students from educationally and economically disadvantaged backgrounds in gaining admission to medical school. The programs seek students who are committed to practicing in underserved communities of California.
What is considered an "educationally and economically disadvantaged background?"
Probably someone who comes from a low SES and /or a CC educational background.
