Honestly wasn't expecting to get so many interviews! I applied to 15 schools with my gf so we can get into the same school, but it looks like we didn't need to seeing how we've gotten an interview to every school on our list that has sent out interviews. We're super grateful!

I told myself before this cycle started that I would attend every interview I was offered..but now I'm thinking I might have to cut some schools out of the mix because if I attend every interview right now, I will be missing half a month of school this semester. Decisions decisions lol

Edit: Not to mention that another 7 of my schools I applied to haven't sent out interview yet
 
Hi, I just received a denial from UCSF.

Already? Sorry to hear that.
Do you have low DAT section or below GPA cut-off?
I didn't apply to this school, but curious of why.

That is sooo odd.
You know what, I got rejection email from UCSF a few days ago for dual degree program, (the PhD part, it says my DDS part is still active). the thing is I didn't even submit application for PhD part yet....LOL I started application but didn't finish. Felt so odd.
Hum...

Is your status have changed in AADSAS website?

No. it still says "verified". but AADSAS is for DDS part, so my DDS part should be "active" per say...
the "rejection" email was for the PhD part (graduate school) which I didn't even submit yet. haha. very discouraging right? even before submission, got rejected hahahaha...LOL

So far both places I received interviews to also only gave one date. I also noticed that UCSF doesn’t let you change the date unless you can’t make it for a few very specific reasons. I suppose it’s just easier on them. Weird though because most medical schools let you pick a date from a list!

Those are some killer stats! What other schools have you applied to?
 
I would give them a call if I were you.
I'll say, you too good for them! Stay positive!
Does it really affect it if I call? I will definitely do that. Thanks for letting me know.

I would at least find out the reason. That way I would not worry too much about other programs, if the reason is they did not like your response to supplemental for example.

What is happening with UCSF? Rejecting the good GPA and DAT scores! :annoyed:
Yeah, it makes me nervous for my other schools. I mean my GPA isn't the best, but I didn't think they would send a rejection so early. At least I know I'm not the only one.
 
Those are some killer stats! What other schools have you applied to?
Thanks! I see yours were basically the same though! 🙂

I applied to: Minnesota, UCSF, UCLA, Pitt, UPenn, UConn, and Washington!! How about you?
 
I would at least find out the reason. That way I would not worry too much about other programs, if the reason is they did not like your response to supplemental for example.
Who would you call? The admissions coordinator? They said they don’t give status updates to individuals, so I’m a little nervous about calling I really would like to find out why though.

Has anyone had any success calling to find out why you got rejected?

This is what I would do:

The first path is to call to their admission office and say, "Hello, My name is _____ and I received a rejection already and I feel puzzled and want to find out the reason for my rejection. Could you please connect me with someone who will help me to explain? I feel so upset and cannot stop worrying about what I did wrong." And hopefully, they will be helpful about that.

The second path is to email their office and if no response in a few days, give them a reminder. (longer path)
