UCSF Supplemental
Started by beautiful1
what are the questions?
there's a reason why they want to send it to you at a certain time -_-
Do you have a shred of integrity?
I thought you could look at the questions and work on them.... I didn't realize it was it was looked down upon to do that. I thought it was like UPenn's supplemental.
Sorry for the misunderstanding

It is like other secondaries. Do some research, you will find that on line. it is not bad idea you work on it before UCSF email. UCSF secondary is not like DAT question and nothing wrong to know what the questions are and it is nothing to do with integrity. If you already filled up other schools supplemental keep a copy of them life will be so easy when you are filing up UCSF or other schools secondaries. 😉
I cant find them online, I have searched for hours.... 🙁
Wait then.

I think someone already shared the link. not on this thread though. If you know for sure you are going to be receiving secondary (meet all the requirement), then it doesn't hurt to start on it and send the package as soon as you get the e-mail --you have to fill them out and send back to UCSF within 21 days. Try searching for the thread. not sure which one it was..
does this mean that some applicants wont get the secondary because they will already be rejected?
I'm not completely sure for UCSF, but some schools will indeed reject applicants before even issuing them a supplemental/secondary application.
Just from the nature of things, this appears to be the case with UCSF.
you wont get a 2ndary unless u fulfill the min requirement ucsf is looking for. it doesnt mean you're rejected already, you just wont move forward in the reviewing process b/c to ucsf, your application is not complete (if you're missing DAT score, LOR, etc) or does not qualify (if u have < their min DAT requirement or GPA requirement).
if you're missing a lor, is it auto-reject or will they let you know first?
i am not 100% sure but I think i remember from the tour i took before they would just put your application on hold and move on with other applicants who do have complete applications. And you would sort of just be left there until they eventually fill up the class. i know of someone last year who applied but didn't hear anything back from ucsf at all, not even a rejection
How long after you've submitted the AADSAS app that you received the UCSF supplemental? My AADSAS app was mailed out 2 weeks ago, but I just took my DAT last week. But just to be sure though, I don't need to take any further actions (i.e. send processing fee) until I receive an email from UCSF? Thanks guys.
P.S. same question for Western

My mailing date was the 23rd and I got the email last week. They cashed my check on Monday. They will send you an email for the supplemental and then you mail the check.
anyone else think their rules are really strict on the secondary app? I mean after every sentence they say if you don't follow the rules, your app will be rejected. Hopefully they're not as mean as they seem on this app.
They are not mean at all as you might get a chance to find later on. They just give you clear instructions so that they can be more organized and efficient with the applications. I bet even with those instructions which are very clear people still tend to mess up somehow.
Yeah hopefully I'm able to get at least an interview there and crossing my fingers for UCLA too. Grats on your acceptance to UCSF btw I remember seeing your predents profile 😉.
