hey guys, just got my email confirming my interview. App complete 12/16, got put on hold sometime in the middle of january, now got an interview for April 10th. :clap: I guess they are starting to review the on hold peeps, good luck everyone!
 
Congrats and good luck!:clap: :clap: I wonder what they are doing with people on hold post interview....I guess that's the alternate list. Oh well. 😛
 
you go, dr. don!!! wooo hooooo!!! :clap: :clap: :clap:
i really liked irvine. hopefully you will too 🙂
 
You've given me hope in these bitter times! Congrats and I hope you WOW them!!!:clap: :clap: :clap:
 
Hey how did you know you were on hold - did they send you a letter?

I haven't heard anything from Creighton and my application was finished in mid-Nov. Should I lose hope?
 
Congrats Dr. Don! I was psyched to get the email from Gayle Pierce last month! No matter what happens, UCI is on my 'white' list.


cbpremed, I just called them. We that are 'holds' in alternate column of status check post-interview may be accepted between now and end of May/beginning of June. If not accepted by then, we'll be notified of waitlist or rejection. So essentially, it's pending decision is what it is now.

thanks for the love ladies, lola, I grew up in orange county, ghettolicious Santa Ana, :laugh: My parents still live there, so I'm very familiar with UCI, and I know I can be happy there. good luck everyone, hope you guys hear some good news soon.

Creighton? 😕 I'm sorry bro, I don't mean to be mean to mean or anything like that, but WTF are you talking about? :laugh: this thread is for an interview from UCI after being put on hold post-secondary. I found out about my hold from the website, and I was on hold until I got the email today. Best of luck to you and I hope creighton and/or UCI get back to you soon.
 
I was just curious about the hold and I didn't want to start a new thread or anything.

just to clarify: i didn't actually mean that i liked the city of irvine. hell no :laugh:! but, i did like the school a lot, and it seems like a pretty pleasant place to spend 4 years -- particularly if you can live close to the beach!
 
Wow, that's definitely a good sign.

Since UCI is my alma mater, I can vouch for how nice the school is and it's pleasant location. However, it can get a little dull because it's so Truman Show-like. Good luck to everyone. I'd give my left arm to get into UCI med.
 
Has anyone else had any luck besides Dr Don?

Also...Dr. Don, did your status page change?

hey cchieb's, yeah my status page changed from on hold to invited and the date of my interview. I didn't really check it before I got the email, so I guess they probably sent me the email, before updating my status page. As far as the city of irvine is concerned, yeah it's kind of dull, not a lot of stuff to do for us young fellas, but it's still a good place to spend 4 years of your life and then move on. I personally would love to go to UCI and stick around there for residency if possible, but then again, I'm biased because I'm from orange county. good luck peeps!
 
:clap: Congratulations! :clap:
 
Hey congradulation!

Good luck on your interview... :clap:
 
OK, I talked w/ Gail (I have mad connections w/ UCIMC that do me no bit of good). She said that if you haven't heard from them, it could've been because your app has been reviewed and they will send you a reject letter in early April, or because your app hasn't been re-reviewed yet (duh)...she can't really tell. Either way, best case scenario is that you haven't been re-reviewed yet. So, her advice is to crank out another letter of interest to convince them to invite you for an interview. She said that nothing you do to help yourself get your foot in the door will hurt. Simple enough.
 
Anybody else got off this hold?
 
Just got an email yesterday inviting me for an interview on 4/24. I never thought this day would come. There's still hope guys!
