Has any non-Californian heard from UCSF about secondaries and MSTP? I live on the East Coast and I sent their interim application three weeks ago. My stats are competitive and I'm getting a bit antsy, as if there isn't enough to be antsy about.

When did y'all submit your AMCAS? I'm curious about the lag time. 😕

I'm not applying to UCSF MSTP, but you might try to PM/email Vader.

He's a first year MD/PhD at UCSF I believe.

Yeah, Vader is here with me at UCSF SoM. He's in the MSTP (MD/PhD) program; he goes to all our classes AND takes some Ph.D. courses as well. I'll ask him tomorrow if he's been checking this site. However, we've been really busy -- this is the first time I've checked in a week or so. Anyway, good luck to you all!

Thanks Becky

I wouldn't worry too much about the secondary yet. I don't think I received mine until October last year (I sent in the primary application at the end of June) and that was without the current AMCAS nightmare. Everything in the admissions office is moving fairly slowly right now.

The MSTP application will be included with the secondary. If they haven't changed from last year, it is a sheet of paper asking you to list your publications and presentations, and to describe your research experience.

Sorry I've been kind of AWOL from SDN lately. As BeckyG noted, we just started classes and are being inundated with material. She of course told me about your question, so I thought I'd respond. If you have any others or need a place to stay when you come for interviews, I'd be happy to help. 😀
