I did not end up applying to Cal, but I did apply to UCLA and UW.
I have not heard anything from UCLA regarding my SOPHAS application (only about them receiving my UCLA grad school app). However, I did receive this email on 12/14 from UW.
STATUS OF YOUR APPLICATION: Complete*
*For applicants with non-U.S. degrees: This email message details items that should be sent to the DEPARTMENT OF EPIDEMIOLOGY. We are unable to confirm whether materials required by the OFFICE OF GRADUATE ADMISSIONS (second set of transcripts, financial statement and visa documentation) have or have not been received, as that office may need additional time to process the materials it receives and does not generally send confirmation-of-receipt notices. If application packages were sent via an express or courier service, the service can confirm that the respective UW office signed for the package.
