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

Members don't see this ad.
Hi, can someone please elaborate on what type of applicant UCSF looks for? I'm really curious since I know people who got rejected without an interview with almost 4.0 GPA and 24 AA (after submitting the supplemental). It's possibly pre-reqs since UCSF has some strict conditions for fulfilling certain classes but is it also a personality factor?

From what I have seen and heard, UCSF is a very research and community service intensive school. I believe applicants who have strong research and/or community service backgrounds in particular stand out to them.
 
Oooooooooopp just got denied at UCSF today. GL to all!
 
Does anyone know what time the interview runs until? I'm catching a flight later that evening.

Yea, mine just switched from "Invited for Interview" to "Received/Under Review" a week after my interview. Does anyone know what that means?

Rejection = all hope is lost. So if you haven't been rejected, then all you can do is stay patient. Hang in there!

Thank you. For some reason, this cycle has something against me. Anythjng I hoped for didn't happen as I was expected... I'm really disappointed and upset and also regreted that I applied in mid July. UCSF is my top choice as its my state school , beside UCLA... Dec 1 I will be so bumped for me as I don't expect to hear from other school I have interviewed at( nothing went as I was waiting for, so...)
 
Anyone else worried about the 400k tuition? Has anyone talked to any UCSF graduates?
 
Is anyone else having problem with the supplemental application right now? I called and they told me they'll send another email once it's fixed.

That doesnt include living expenses right? With living expenses you are looking at around 90k or more
Click to expand...
You're right PP. Living expenses aren't included. Still, 330k is a fair price for OOS compared to other schools!
 
that would be nice, but its about 330k for in-state. OOS adds another 12.5k per year, putting you around 380k
