Hey we're on the same boat! But let's cross all our fingers and toes we get in...... haha
I believe from my class we had up to 20 people from the waitlist get in... so there is hope waitlist is better then denied
UCSF 2014
Still better than me! 😀 If only the class size was 150...
If anyone beats me for a higher number, I may consider giving you a dollar.
haha i admire your humor and positivity.

I got #76.... can I have a dollar? lol.
Well I plan on withdrawing though, so I suppose if there is anybody after me, they can take my spot...
Sighhhh...I'm in the 50s.</3
Dangit... You beat me! Well how about this, if you go to Tufts or are from Seattle you can have a dollar!
It definitely all depends but last year my friends were around 20-21 and they got in.
Thank you for the hopeful news..!!!! So nervous. I can't do anything after that e-mail. I'm just happy to be on the wait list.

omg... why do they even waitlist so many people?😕
>30 might as well be a rejection.
>30 might as well be a rejection.
Haha well it's good to know the we can make a whole new class with just the waitlist. My position is too miserable to mention
Does anyone know if UCSF is done interviewing students? I guess I don't have a chance at my dream school.
Yes, they are done.
yea seriously! If there's a waiting list of 80+ people, that's a whole class right there 🙁

I was thinking the exact same thing. That is outright ridiculous. I'm kind of happy I got denied.. I wouldnt want to be in Limbo.
Hey, I won a limbo contest at a sororities dance my freshman year, maybe its a sign that I'll come out on top of this limbo! #62 FTW!

Hey I was wondering what was your waitlist position before your acceptance?
i was #2
thank you! ucsf was the only school i interviewed at and i still haven't even heard back from the other schools i applied in cali
Thats awesome, good for you!
i know! i am really fortunate to have gotten accepted. my DAT scores weren't the best either lol. which means you shouldn't lose hope if you dont get a DAT score in the 20s! 🙄
Did you have any super special EC's or something? 3.5/3.3 with 18/18/19 is quite the achievement to get into UCSF considering it's very competitive. Olympian? Athlete? Researcher? Published? Anyhow congrats! 👍

lol no i'm no super human with all that fancy stuff. haha
- was president of the Cambodian club on campus for 2 years
- 3 three summer programs
- smdep at ucla
- mdpp at uconn
- summer abroad program in cambodia for 8 weeks
- volunteered for a few health fairs over the past 5 years.
other than that, i didn't have much time to do anything else cause i was working full time at my family's shop as well as being a student full time.
i wasn't even participating in the predental club on campus cause it fell apart in my 2nd or 3rd year and barely started again like a year ago.
i never did any type of research cause it just didn't interest me and i think that's more critical for premed students rather than predents
ANYONE GET OFF THE UCSF WAIT LIST? IF SO, WHAT NUMBER WERE YOU ORIGINALLY?
