congrats!!! so does ucla send rejection mails as well or is it like ucsf?
 
They've asked us to bring Proof of Citinzenship/ Permanent residentship/ I 20 for the interview. What's that about? Doesn't the university have to issue an I 20 to us? So are they talking about the I 20 form? Confused. I'm reading up on it, thought I'd ask here as well...
 
How many seats are available at UCLA. and How many people do they invites??????
Does anyone has any idea on what do they ask in written exam and bench exam?? please put your input...:)

You would have to bring the proof of citizenship or PR card. Those who are already studying in the states and have an I20 can bring that ( i.e. those doing MDS, etc)
 
What exactly do they ask for the Bench test and the written exam? What exercises do we have? Somebody please help.

To compare between california schools, which one is the best?

I'd say UOP ( just a personal choice) but they're all great. Depends on what you want. If you want to specialize after this program UCLA is a better choice since most students who enter speciality courses come from UCLA.
:love:Who doesn't love Cali, I'd take whatever I'd get.


:luck::luck::luck: Good luck everyone!!

Holly J, I was going through past posts from over the years and it seems like Sandy will be sending us more information about it in a few days.

I know the written exam has something to do with Part 1 material ( which will be hard to get back too :() ... but that's all I know.

If anyone else knows anything else, please enlighten us! :idea:
 
Are they done sending all invites?
Dentovis as you were checking past year's post, what did you found?
Do they send all invites on single day like UOP,UCSF?

They don't really invite so many people, and a lot of people aren't active on SDN. Two years ago, a few got some the next day. So hopefully tomorrow for others! Good luck guys! I genuinely hope you get something! :love:
 
Got an invite aswell. So guys any idea about their bench exam? And the written component is part 1 stuff?
