There are three different tracks in the UCD Postbacc that a student can be placed into depending on how prepared they are for the MCAT. (Not sure if this applies to the other UC) A1 track students (accelerated MCAT prep) take the MCAT first in the summer and then start the school year. A2 track students (extended MCAT prep) start in the Fall and take the MCAT the following summer. B track students are those who already took the MCAT and do not need any prep.
 
Anything from UCR yet? My anxiety is through the roof at this point lol
 
Maybe the reason we have not heard anything from UCR could be due to graduation? Just probably trying to finalize everything on then work on the Post Bacc students for summer?

Yeah, definitely look into obtaining medical experience in the workforce whether it is working alongside doctors as a scribe or with therapist as an aide like I did. I had volunteering experiences with physicians as an undergrad, which is why I decided that I would explore therapy rehabilitation after I graduated. It really did broaden my perspective of medicine and I got to see how different health professionals work together.

Got an interview invite from SF State! Hopefully I get in, but yeah I definitely agree, need to do some practical work in the form of volunteering/shadowing or just plain working too.

I didn't go to UCR. And my email for the invitation of an interview was around 12 PM, but my interview was scheduled for the 20th.

Did they tell you if the last interview date for their admission process will be on June 20th? Also do you reside in Riverside?

They just gave me a time frame when they will be having interviews. I'm not sure if it's for the overall admissions to the program. I dont live in riverside, I live in San Bernardino county

Thank you! Congrats to you as well! I don't know anyone else who was interviewed, besides you haha. But in terms of finalizing admissions, the director said they were moving fast as the program is set to begin in July. That could mean a variety of things; hopefully, it means more interview dates for those who are still waiting to hear back!

Literally the last day before it closed. Got the interview invite a little over a week ago. How'd you get in without interviewing?

I just got an email saying they received my application. Nothing about getting into the school. Are you talking about East bay?
 
Just got my rejection from UCR! But I’m happy for everyone who got their acceptances this year! I’ll be attending a masters program, so it’s good news all around!
 
Got my rejection email a few minutes ago from UCR as well. Congrats to everyone that made it and good luck to everyone too.

Ah I see. Thanks! Hopefully you get yours soon! Would be really great if we can both become fellow classmates in the SFSU postbacc program.

I received an interview invitation from the SFSU postbacc program yesterday, so it looks like they are just starting to get these invitations out. Hope you guys receive your emails soon as well.

When do you interview and how are you prepping? Got mine soon, and super nervous. Going to apply to some postbaccs on the East coast too after this.
 
I interviewed at SFSU past weekend and got acceptance email today. Overall, the interview was very calm and welcoming. They just want to get to know you as a person. I would say be genuine and know why you want to go to this post bacc program. Good luck!

SFSU and east bay are great post bacc programs. I have applied to both in addition to the UC consortium. Although the application cycle for fall has closed i believe you can apply for the winter semester now. check out their websites for more info!

good luck.

I have an interview with SFSU on july 21st! for some odd reason east bay still hasn't received my official transcripts which were mailed out on june 22nd. I've been calling and checking and it may be because they are so behind on uploading transcripts ... hoping they receive them by monday and my app isn't thrown out ):
 
I don't know if anyone is checking this thread anymore but I just wanted to mention that UC Davis did get back to me and I was accepted to the A2 track. We will start in a handful of weeks.
