Hey did anyone apply for this summer's UCLA PREP? If yes, do you know when we're getting our decisions? (either early decision or rolling)

OR has anyone ever participated in this program before? If yes, what was your experience like?~

Thank you!

Does anyone know if in state applicants get prioritized. I am out of state and feel like I have a small chance because of it.

I actually think this too. Since they don't provide housing, I feel like in-state would be more favored... haha I'm from east coast and got rejected 🙁

Wishing you the best.

The interview went well. Be prepared to discuss why you are interested in medicine. Also be ready to talk about yourself and any challenges you have overcome. I was accepted to the program but had to decline the offer because I have other obligations that just came up during the summer.

Good luck!

Hey, congrats! Did you automatically get accepted or did you also have to go through an interview and then they officially accept you??

I interviewed Monday and got a decision the following Saturday

Has anyone been accepted and plans on accepting the offer?

I asked my interviewer and they said that this is not a determining factor. They just receive way more applications from California, but still try to have other states represented

does anyone know statistics of doing prep and getting into med school?

does anyone know statistics of doing prep and getting into med school?

My interviewer said that about 80% or more. Some decide on medicine/dentistry and some on research. But some decide that a health career is not for them.
