***The Official UCSF Class of 2020 Interview/Acceptance Thread***

Got the rejection today, mail out was 8th batch I believe! For anyone curious my sgpa and ogpa were between 3.25 and 3.46, dat was 26AA and CA residency. Good luck to everyone! Now I know the ucla dental students weren't kidding when they said ucsf has a very specific class in mind haha. Out of the 8ish people I've talked to at ucla, only 1 got into ucsf and all of them got into other places like Columbia, Penn, etc. As a corollary, I know a current ucsf student personally and it was her only acceptance out of 9 schools! Seems like nobody will ever solve the admissions mystery :=|:-):
 
Also got rejected today, sgpa and ogpa were 3.8, 23AA, CA residency
 
Why haven't I heard anything? 7th batch, no notification yet. Secondary submitted 6 weeks ago
 
Anyone knows much about the essay component of the interview? Do we do it on a computer or on paper? I am not very good at writing in a short amount of time (and with paper). 🙁
 
Batch 2, havent heard a thing from UCSF ughhhhhhhhhh
I think that's a good thing! I was batch 1 and didn't hear from UCSF until last Wednesday. I think they are just keeping your application on hold and you'll hopefully hear good news soon 🙂 Better not to hear anything than a rejection!

Sorry to hear that. I know UCSF is a dream school and no one likes a rejection from UCSF, but you always have the option to reapply.

Congrats. May I ask your mail out date please.
Thanks.
 
Is anyone scheduled for a November 2nd interview!? I'm coming from Philadelphia (getting there a day early) and am looking to explore the campus and the city - I've never been to San Francisco before!

Go to the Marina and Fisherman's wharf for sure! I went there while I was in SF for my Pacific interview.

I live in Vegas, but San Francisco is one of my favorite cities! My favorite restaraunt on Fisherman's wharf is the Crab House! There's also a "museum" of old arcade games on the wharf that you can play. It's really fun! Enjoy!

When you sent an email back accepting the invitation, did you get a response or confirmation?
 
Ok never mind got a confirmation, I'm always paranoid about that kind of stuff
 
Hello:
I just got an interview invitation email for Novemebr 9. I am wondering if any other ladies have interview on this date and like to share a room in hotel with me. Best of luck everyone with your interviews 🙂

When did you summit your app?

Happened to me as well! I'm just assuming it's normal... lol

yep.
 
Weren't you nervous they didn't get your email? I'm worried about this whole 5 day thing
Yea, I'd look into that ASAP. I got an auto-response confirmation email minutes after accepting the initial interview invitation.
 
My status turned into "Received/Under review" after the interview. Not sure if the "R" codes for "rejected".. 1 month left and I'm already insane @@
 
Hi there! Would anyone happen to know if UCSF is still offering pre-Dec interviews? I did a bit of stalking on last year's thread and I know a few people did get some around this time so I'm really anxious haha
Would it be alright to just call and ask where they are in reviewing apps??
