San Francisco (You've Got Me) by Village People (1977)
An excerpt of the lyrics:
San Francisco
City by the Bay, yeah
Oh you've got me
San Francisco
Take me to the water
Got me, got me, got me baby
Say you got me, love ya love you so, well
Here's what I want you to do, TAKE ME
TAKE ME BABY, SHOW ME THE WAY
TAKE ME... TAKE ME
😀Thought that would be an appropriate representation of the sentiments of people that will be posting here.
------------------------Some Useful Info--------------------------
Status page: it will NOT show changes post-interview. Your interview date will be the last update on your status page. (question courtesy inkare)
According to Dean Wofsy, all HP people who haven't received a decision will be put on the alternate list. Based on the records of the past two years, about 50% will be offered a position. The list is not ranked, but after May 15, they will look at the class they have by that point, and waitlist decisions will be made based on personal strengths and how they will enhance the diversity and educational experience of the class further. Most of the movements will happen before July. About LOIs, he said the committee would "like to see people's continuous interest". (info courtesy myself)
The last batch of decisions have been sent, postmarked April 28. (info courtesy...many!)
Acceptance comes in BIG 8X11 UCSF watermarked envolopes, sent First Class. (info courtesy HeartInSF and, ahum, myself)
According to Dean Wofsy, whom we all love, getting the interview from UCSF is the hardest part, and if the 500 people who do get invited for interview, declined their interview, the next 500 applicants would look extremely similar. Adcoms do not give numbers to the mcat score, EC's , GPA and add them up. Instead, 18 people will read each applicants entire application, along with the report from the interviewers, and answer 1 question: "how much do you want this person to attend UCSF?" Each person gives it a number from 1 to 10, then they put people in the ranked list. But its not over yet. The committee meets and your interviewers have to be there, and they discuss your application. For instance, they say that the bottom 5 of the list are not going to make it if no one stands up for them, and at this point, your interviewer will comments on your application, maybe say "I though this applicant was terrific, and I don't know why he/she is on the bottom of the list ... but for the most part they will be discussing the people in the middle. At the end they will ask the question one more time: "how much do you want this applicant to come to UCSF?" and everyone votes again. But your interviewers are very important because they are the ones who will push for your acceptance (or maybe not, if they didn't like you). (info courtesy inkare)
More info will be added as they surface. For now, just have fun!
