I have a good friend that lives in Placentia, I don't think thats too far of a drive, so I'll probably crash at his place if I can.
The more I think about it, I'm sure I'll do the tour because I'd really love to get in here and that will probably help during the interview.
I have no idea how long it'd take to drive. I dread the thought of having to drive down there. I pretty much only know how to drive from Davis to Chico.

hey,
Did you guys that were offered an interview at UCSF get this "post-bacc" info? It seems very insensitive of the committee to send such a letter to applicants. 😕 maybe this is a gentle way of saying I can't cut it in med school. what d'u guys think?

Yeah, I thought it was very cruel too--I got that same post-bac info a few weeks ago, but then, last Mon, I found a UCSF interview invite in my email!!!! Exactly 5 months after my app completion date!!! It was so hard to not be able to share this w/ SDNers since the server's been down.
UCSF is my one & only love, and I've been so sad @ hearing zip from them since Aug that I recently stopped reading the UCSF threads. But now, I'll be digging up all those SF threads again! The earliest interview date they had was end of Feb, and I read that they interview til end of March or so. So for those of you who have heard nothing from SF, there might still be a chance, no matter how small.
I was also placed "on hold" at UCSD and UCI.. and I noticed quite a few other sdners were too (hmm... conspiracy between the two schools? 🙄 ) Someone posted they got off the hold list at UCI.. and I thought there was also someone who was off the UCSD interview list as well, but I'm not positive on that. And yes, there were post-secondary rejections (at UCSD).
Great to see that the UC'S are not as constipated as before & there's been lots of movement recently. 😀
Thanks for the encouragement, buglady, lola, and ronin! ronin, hope you're having a good day @ Emory & cool that you also heard from SF. I scheduled for end of Feb. When will you be there?
Congrats, pocwana, mystic & moskeeto on your UCI interviews!
pocwana, are u referring to UCLA just up above? Doesn't seem as though anybody on SDN has heard yet. Hope you'll get the good news in this batch! I interviewed in Dec, so i'm prepared to wait a while.

hey pocwana,
does your status say they sent you a final decision letter post-interview? mine says it was sent 1/28...but have yet to receive it. wonder what's taking so long for me to receive it....argh! oh well...patience is a virtue right? hope you hear some good news too!
so has anyone heard anything about whether the letters (post-interview) sent recently are acceptances, rejections, or waitlists?

Anyone know when the next UCLA ad com meeting is??
I've been waiting for a post-secondary decision for awhile now. I called the office a month ago and she told me they meet all through the month, but didn't give me any specifics. She also told me that I should have a decision by now. 😡

I don't have "letter sent" either and I interviewed in early december. I certainly hope that doesn't mean I'm rejected or waitlisted. I think they just sent their first batch of acceptances out though, so I'm still mildly optimistic.
UCSD = denied

Can anyone confirm that they have received an acceptance from UCLA? I haven't seen any posts celebrating a UCLA acceptance. Unfortunately, my little box after final decision letter continues to be blank (post-interview from early November!!). So, I am guessing that good news is not in my future from UCLA. 🙁
my friend received an acceptance from UCLA a week and a half ago
My UCLA final decision letter box also remains blank after an early Dec. interview. 🙁 Either good news is not in my future, like Teach said, or the admissions committee is being erratic - hopefully the later... keep those fingers crossed.
Also, I should add a post-interview (Dec.) UCSF rejection here. Postmarked Feb. 4.

Hey mystic,
Sorry to hear @ SF. Hope you'll receive good news from LA. Seems like UCLA is 2 weeks behind (i.e. they were going to send out the first batch mid-Jan, but it was more like early Feb). I also remember Deanna Moon mentioning that we could wait til March or so. Last year, lots of folks who interviewed before X-mas didn't hear til March/April.
I remember we interviewed @ the same time in early Dec. I don't have an update on the status page either, except for receipt of transcripts. Do you remember how often they have their Thursday committee meetings?

hey UCLA peeps...remember that time of interview is not important...its that you got one that is important. They will ofcourse review first come first serve but will not make a late january interviewee have a less chance at getting in vs an early november interviewee (quote from ad com) so dont worry and good luck. UCLA is my top choice and i am waiting to hear back post interview 🙂
Thanks! 🙂 I am EXTREMELY excited and grateful about UCLA. I've been in love with this school since my freshmen year =)
you're waiting to hear back from them right? I certainly hope you get in...you've been a great asset to the SDN forums...good luck!
ucla is really weird...i talked to other applicants who have received both post primary and 2ndary rejections but i still have nothing on my status page after the primary...when i called a couple of days ago they said they might still be sending 2ndaries thru the end of the month...i think that she didn't know wha tshe was talking about!!!! i can't imagine getting a secondary when it is mid-feb. and actually stilll having a chance at an interview!!!

They're not telling you because you aren't rejected. They may still give you a secondary that late. Thats ok for them because they review secondaries fairly quickly after they receive them to make a decision regarding interviews(at least that was my case). Unfortunately they made a decision I did not want them to make.
Heh, I didn't even know the committee met on Thursdays. And who's Deanna Moon? An admissions lady? I guess I didn't learn much on my visit there. 😕
Don't you have a UCSF interview coming up? Best of luck on that one. Iit's a wonderful place.
And let me add a big congrats to dpy here too!
So how long did it take you guys to hear back from UCLA regarding an interview post-secondary. I submitted my secondary about a week ago and would love to hear back soon, but I'm really getting my hopes up too high because I know UCLA sends out quite a few secondaries (3,000+) and only interviews around 600 of those people. I would be SHOCKED and in utter disbelief if they sent me an interview invite. *crossing fingers*
brutus, I'm sure they're still taking people off 'hold' status. You should check frequently to see if you status changes to "review in process" like lola's just did. Mine changed from 'hold' to 'review in process' about 2 weeks ago and then within 3 or 4 days I received an interview invite. Good luck!
i got the sec request the day b4 xmas. my file(LORs and such) was complete around mid jan and i got the rejection letter early feb...pretty quick turnaround if u ask me. i was hoping if ucla were to give me the axe that they'd let me dream for at least a month after my files were complete.
