Thought I'd start a thread for this one seeing as apps opened two days ago. Goodluck to all!
When are you guys hoping to submit your application by?
That's great, Ddude122. The essays are consuming all of my time. I am hoping to submit by the end of January. Is this the only postbacc program you are applying to?
That's great that you are applying to all those programs. I am actually only applying to the UC Consortium due to my financial situation. Hopefully this cycle goes well for us.
Are you by any chance using Interfolio to send your letters of recommendation?
I thought we had to mail our letters?

They haven't responded to my email either. Do you have a question that we might know the answer to?

Graduated from a CSUAnyone mind sharing stats?
Anyone mind sharing stats?
I have, multiple times every day for over a week. I've also sent multiple e-mails. I just need my supporting documents from last year to get uploaded.
Can anyone give me some advice on how to list my classes, I talked to two other applicants and we are having trouble. Office doesn't pick up
Background: Attended a CSU that works on a semester system for 5 years
Under the Course Work category, in the "Academic Term" drop down tool
- I can list my classes for my 1st semester, 2nd semester (that's only one year)
-I don't see an option for semester 3, 4 (2nd year), semester 5,6 (3rd year), sem. 7,8,(4th year), sem. 9th (5th year)
-how can I list years 2-3?
Also, are we required to submit SAT scores? Thanks in advance!
I'm sorry to hear you haven't been able to get any responses yet. I had to ask them to re-open my application for resubmission, and was able to get help by contacting the UC Davis School of Medicine. Based on the supporting documentation address posted on the UC Consortium website, they seem to be the hub for most non-program specific inquiries.
Keep us updated, and hope this helps.
Thank you! This makes senseI'm from a quarter system school, but I believe you can change your "Academic Year" and "Year in School" to reflect your sophomore and junior years. Then, under "Academic Term", continue using the dropdown choices "1st Semester (Fall)" and "2nd Semester (Spring)".
And no, SAT scores are not required!
I was able to finally get in touch! Not sure what took so long haha, but i'm thankful that they were finally able to upload all my documents from last year Good luck everyone !

UC 2.9 sGPA and 3.3 cGPA did not take MCAT.
first time applying, already a feeling a bit unsettled. got an e-mail back from one of my professors telling me she can't write a LOR for me. so i guess i'll just have to ask someone else...
has anyone ever gotten into the program and knows what got them accepted? :'(
anyone turn in their application yet?
turned mine in
Anyone onow if the community service letter is necessary or will I be good with an MD letter.
If you're a first time applicant, one must be from a science professor, one from a community service experience, and the third can be from a professor or employer of your choice.

so for the science professor...I am a research assistant at a lab for a PI whos a science professor not at the undergrad but for the medical school, but i did take a independent (BISP199) research studies class with him (pass/no pass) would that be okay? ah..
How brief were you guys in your essay about your research experiences? I am having a really hard time answering the prompt and staying under 2,500 characters.
I had to edit mine twice to make it more short and sweet to the point with just a few characters remaining. I summarized my supervisors name, affiliation and duration in one sentence. I gave a brief intro about the study and didn't write about methods or materials but rather important highlights and results of the research.How brief were you guys in your essay about your research experiences?

Is anyone able to reach them by phone? I'm calling, and leaving a voice mail, but no one is responding back.
Thanks!They're much better at answering inquiries over email. I recommend contacting Elio over at the UC Davis SOM:

I sent all my materials 2 weeks ago but submitted Feb. I'm also waitingHave any of you guys received confirmation of them receiving any of the materials through the website. I sent mine in awhile ago and still shows nothing has been received.
I sent my materials in 1/10. I'm glad I'm not the only one whose application is still pending. They have a lot of mail to go through.I sent in all my materials around 1/13 and submitted my app on 1/25. Still pending..

What school is anyone hoping to attend?

It would be awesome if we attended a school together
By any chance, has anyone's documents been processed? I submitted very early February, LR (through Interfolio) and transcript should of been received by 29th of Jan. Its been two weeks now and my sections still show up blank
I called the central office today and the person I spoke to said he was finished processing documents received by 1/22 and that everything should be updated live as its processed. My documents definitely arrived before that date but everything is blank and still pending. If nothing changes after a week I might call back for another update and re-send my materials in the mean time. Would be kind of annoying to send everything again because I paid for express shipping with tracking on most along with all the request fees =/
I thought the priority deadline was March 1st? Let's stay positive. I submitted my documents ahead of time as well. I'm sure they're working as hard as they can to scan everything. I'm currently missing one more transcript. I'll update everyone too.Thanks for the update. I'm a bit worried too since there's 11 business days before the UCI Priority Deadline. I'm hoping it gets processed this week, if not I'll also give them a call and resend. I'll keep everyone updated if something changes. Let's keep our chins up evotecani
