UC Consortium 2018-2019 Cycle
Started by 10thousandhours
can someone clarify what is meant by tracks??? does the program not start in mid june ??
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.

Talked to the director of the program last week she said expect to hear something by the 18th ish.

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?
I got an interview for UCR today around 12. They are having interviews the 18th-20th

Do you go to UCR? and did you get an immediate response if you are in?
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.
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.
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
I was accepted into the UCR post bacc program today! Same day as interview.

What were some of the questions asked during your interview?
did anyone else apply to post baccs at sfsu and east bay?? have you guys heard back from them?
I did! Only heard back from SF State, have an interview this weekend, I'll let you know how it goes.
when did you apply to the program? i sent mine in a few days before the deadline. i got an email that i got into the school but haven't heard anything from them since (2 weeks now)
Literally the last day before it closed. Got the interview invite a little over a week ago. How'd you get in without interviewing?
no i got into the school, not the program (yet). i got an email stating i met the req for the graduate program and now I'm waiting to hear back from the program itself. did you get the same email before your interview invite ?

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.
Which master's program did you get into?
ah damn, got my rejection as well. Best of luck on the masters program!
i haven't heard back from east bay yet (just sent in my transcripts). SFSU sent me an email saying i met the requirements for grad school and to wait to hear back from the program. haven't gotten an email for an interview, but hoping i will soon. good luck on your interview!!!
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 got into the MSMHS program at Touro in NorCal!

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.
congrats on your admission!!! do you mind sharing your stats? I'm getting a little anxious...
I did too! See you at orientation!!
I have an overall of 3.4, 3.2 sGPA and graduated from a UC. I would say call and find out if there is anything missing on your application. Good luck!!
I got in as well! Hope to see you there.
my stats are basically the same lol. i called and they said they may just not have reviewed my app just yet.

Does anyone know of any other good post bacc programs in California?
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.
has anyone else received a rejection letter from davis?
Have you heard anything from SFSU and East bay?
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 ):
