Has anybody heard from UCLA about anything? I submitted my secondary app on August 2nd, sent out my fee the very next day for an expected delivery of 8/8...I sent it out with tracking (which requires it to be signed for) and it still hasn't gotten there. Im not sure if its a problem on UCLA's part or the post office...

"You may check if your file is complete on the AADSAS website after September 3. The decision code for complete files will be set to 'Received/Application Complete.' Unfortunately, our office cannot provide status checks over the telephone. You may also email me in September if your status is not updated on the AADSAS website..."

Also, UCLA starts a bit later than most and also ends late in terms of giving out interviews.

Only takes one!

And remember the HUGE majority of applicants don't post on here so don't get discouraged by the people with interview number 5 already. I'm from Arkansas and only applied to 5 schools cause we don't have one. Doesn't make sense to me why some ppl apply to damn near every school.

Because not everyone has a 3.7+ GPA with a 23+ DAT. The lower your stats, the more schools you should apply to, unless you want to risk not getting in anywhere and reapply the following year.

I'm right there with you. One interview 🙁

I am worried, 0 interviews...and I have a Master's degree. It does seem like most of the schools that have offered interviews are ones I didn't apply to. Lets hope today and next week are lucky! :luck: Especially for peeps in our boat!

One interview so far for me as well. I applied to 23 schools and the wait to hear back is killing me. No rejections yet so that's good.

Yep I applied to 20 , one interview so far , but no rejections. Although because of my late DAT (07/16) , then most schools didn't send me a complete email till 08/07 ish. Good luck. Where are you interviewing, and what are your stats , if you don't mind me asking plz ?

I've applied to 14 schools (added Indiana late) and have only received a rejection from Nova. though I know it's still early, I'm beginning to worry.

I'm interviewing at LECOM on 9/9.

oGPA: 3.05
sGPA: 3.15
DAT: 21AA/21TS/23PAT/21RC
Currently taking graduate bio courses
Full time ASCP certified Medical Lab Scientist for 6 years
100+ shadowing, 200+ volunteering
BLS and ACLS certified
 
My GPAs aren't the best but I believe I somewhat make up for it in DAT, MLS schooling (same style curriculum and amount of info crammed as D-school), work experience, etc
