All I read was "It gives me great pleasure..." and I think was all I had to read before it sank in. Maybe I should read the rest though, it could say "It gives me great pleasure to REJECT you.." I'm kidding. Good luck to you ChocoBo, I'm sure yours is in route to you very soon.

Of course SDN goes down when I want to post:

ACCEPTED!!! 👍


Just to document this on SDN (this was a question I had since the begining): It is very possible (just as UCLAstudent said it was) to get accepted into both Geffen and Drew!

Too many good decisions to make...

Good luck everyone! I can't wait to see the next round of acceptances!

I'm in!!!!!! I live in the LA area, but I just got the letter this afternoon! Interviewed on 1/23. Still hard for me to believe that I will be a UCLA medical student in the Fall. Feels like I have waited forever. I am a reapplicant just like my friend DrBorisCA (who is now my classmate!!)
Good luck everyone and don't lose hope!!!

 

[Wildebeast]

Hey, all who are interested in UCLA. I am interviewing at the school tomorrow...any advice?

 

[drhouse]

Who here thinks tomorrow will be round two??????

 

[thatgirl 84]

Hey,

Does anyone know if your status changes if you're getting a "not-so-good" letter in the mail? I interviewed in November and haven't heard a word yet. Thanks!

 

[thatgirl 84]

[UCLAstudent]

Right on Elastase!!! Is this your first choice????? 👍 👍

 

[Elastase]

Thanks UCLAstudent!

Congrats rosiemary, waterlily, rebs, and everyone else! I am starting to feel that same way, I have an itch to withdraw from other places (cause my mind feels very set right now, but I have already done my financial aid stuff, might as well wait it out)...

 

[drhouse]

I'm starting to think those rejections might have been fakes...

 

[Elastase]

Dr. House:

I was actually thinking the same thing earlier on...something didn't feel right about those rejection posts...

 

[Gee!Golly!Gosh!]

Congrats to rosiemary, waterlily, and the two docs (boris and bear) 🙂 I got my letter today too and i'm INNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!! THANK GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really pray that all the other SDNers get in too...u guys sound like great folks, and I hope your dreams come true.......

[discus]

[kirexhana]

Hey, I have an interview tomorrow at UCLA...any advice?

mmm, get there early, cuz the office is kinda hard to find if it's your first time there. other than that, relax, chill out, their interviews are pretty tame if your know your apps.

[DrCarebear]

Wow, thanks so much! Congratulations to Elastase, Gee!Golly!Gosh!, DrBorisCA, Waterlily, Rosiemary, and Rebs! To those who have yet to hear, don't lose hope. This is such an exciting, anxious, crazy, and wonderful time for everyone. Cheers!

[Gee!Golly!Gosh!]

Hey, I have an interview tomorrow at UCLA...any advice?

Congrats on the interview...I would recommend the following:
1. Read up the interview feedback from the SDN website
2. Check out the UCLA website to see what kind of research interests they have (look at recent fundings, recent centers of research that were opened, etc...basically, look for the trends)
3. Really know your AMCAS application really well

And...relax...when you go in the for the interview approach it as if you want to make friends with the guy/lady, and not as an interrogation...make it conversational, ask about the interviewer and have a conversation before he/she launches into the questions.

Congratulations to my fellow SDN peers. It looks like we made it.
For those of you still waiting, hang in there. You'll be celebrating soon enough.

ELASTASE: haha is the change in avatar a symbol of a new chapter in your life? It threw me off to not see your gigantic neutrophil when i came into this thread.

Hey, I have an interview tomorrow at UCLA...any advice?

UCLA was a pretty chill place to interview. Typical questions, nothin out of left field. Open file so you probably know the drill. Pretty good lunch options..heh. Make sure you tell them your a trojan fan and that you completly enjoyed the beating they took from USC this year. 😉

[infiniti]

I am happy that so many dreams are coming true! I interviewed in late october and just got my acceptance letter today. I am looking forward to acceptance students weekend because the interview really didn't tell me much about the schoo.
