pattayapus said:really? all summer? i would think the wait would be much less, because i think davis starts earlier than most everywhere else...if anything, the waitlist should start moving earlier than the other UCs...? am i way off the chart here?
hope you do here from them, though! maybe i'll see you next year! 🙂![]()
kohalagirl79 said:Hey, Congrats on the acceptance to Davis. I'm actually from San Francisco too, but California is not looking hopeful for next year. Right now, I'm planning on being out on the east coast. Wish I was closer to home, though.
kohalagirl79 said:I'm just waiting for Davis. I only applied to Davis and Irvine (rejected by Irvine). I've been going to school back east, and it is nice to get out of California, but I still miss home. No good Chinese food out here....
nikibean said:Just got an interview for next week.
Terri said it's not totally full yet, but they're looking to fill it soon.
That's all...
Plus there's the May 15 shuffle...

oldfart1997 said:i'm a little confused... i interviewed last week of january and haven't heard a peep. does that mean i'm for sure on the waitlist since the class is full? does anyone have any idea if my file has come before the admissions committee?
2ndChrm said:This bummed me out a lot, until I realized that the entire class size is 80-something, so almost the entire class will be filled from the waitlist. It seems that we have a better chance of matriculating than those already accepted 🙂

relentless11 said:On average, the class size at UCD is about like 93 people. So keep your fingers crossed. You never know what will happen 🙂![]()
evade said:An awful lot of my class got their acceptances over the summer. It's not at all unusual for UCD. . .I don't know if they're initially conservative in their acceptances or what, but definitely don't lose hope yet!
To those of you interviewing this coming week: good luck! I'd pop my head in to say hi, but it's spring break (wooo!). The place will be a little empty, but hey, even we need a break sometimes. 🙂
JohnyWalker said:I knew a guy last summer( we were in the postbac program together) who got accepted to UCD two days before school started so he had to move from SD to Davis and find an appartment all in two days. As for me, Davis won't even interview me, which I find kind of strange because UCLA, UCSD, and USC have interviewed me already. I have tried calling the office to find out why, but I keep getting brushed off by Ed Dagang. Anyways.
relentless11 said:As for your bad luck with UCD. Don't take it too personally. Sometimes it works out like that (luck of the draw perhaps?) Known people to get into UCSF, or UCLA and denied at UCD, and vice versa. I think the best way is to go with the flow 🙂 .

Overlap12 said:UC Davis sure has a great policy for admitting the highest quality of students. Why are they one of the only schools that only accepts the number of students in their class? It's so stupid because if you look on mdapplicants over half of the people that are accepted to UCD are sure not to go there because they got into UCLA or some other top 10 school. By putting most applicants on hold, the majority of the class is going to be filled by people on the waitlist over the summer who didn't get into a better school and was willing to wait for UCD. Great plan Davis! You'll assure yourself that you'll get the least competitive applicants possible from your hold pool.

kahoo99 said:I think it's hard to analyze how hard it is for OOS top tier students to come to california. Because even if a match list from U of C for example has only ten in california (total guess) we have no idea how many wanted to go to california rather than stay in chicago or on the east coast. So even looking at the match list doesn't tell the whole story.
Overlap12 said:Thank you for the good advice. Do you really think that it hinders your chances for a California residency if you go out of state? When looking at some of the match lists (Pritzker specifically), it seems a lot of those kids go to UCSF and UCLA for their residency. It probably helps to be at a UC, but don't you think that some programs like to boast the variety of med school students from around the country they have in their program?
2 Boys! said:Does anybody know if the new Medical Education Building in Sacramento is going to be up and running by the start of coursework August 7th for 1st year students?
Thanks in advance! 2 Boys!
somewhere on the net (sorry cant remember where exactly, although i found it searching) is a powerpoint presentation dated jan 06 that details the building, floor layouts, etc., the presentation had est. finish date august 06, not sure if they are bs'ing, i know people who have recently saw the building and thought it will be alot of work to complete by aug., also it seemed that the new anatomy labs would be an extension added to the medical education center at a later date, (maybe this is how they will finish in aug.), so i would assume everything (sans anatomy labs) will be finished by august and that all classes except gross anatomy will be in sacramento, still all speculation, i wouldnt mind a more detailed outline of coursework and the new facilities mailed out to the new first years, yes that would be nice
xxbruinxx said:oh well...sure beats a rejection
anyone know the diff. b/w their sacramento vs. medical center campus? are they far apart?
SanDiegoSOD said:Is Davis' match list really very impressive? I saw very few "prestige" residency matches (neurosurgery, derm, plastics) for the class of 2005, with an abundance of pediatrics and internal medicine. Naturally, this is partly due to the primary care focus of the school and self-selection by Davis students, so I'd be interested to see how many Davis students got either their top choice residency or placed in their top three. Does anyone have those number? Thanks in advance! 👍
