This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
If it makes you feel better. I am still waiting too for every single california school. I also went to UCLA so really hoping it's just a regional thing. MY stats are fine too so idk.
also went to ucla and still waiting, majority of my activities are through there too lol. not sure what to think

Same here, went to UCLA as well and I'm still waiting...I also didn't hear back from any of the other UC's, so that sucks as well lmfao.

OOS secondary received 7/15 at 6am. AMCAS verified 7/14 & sent DGSOM primary acknowledgement 7/15 at 5am. Not really sure what the method to their madness is but now I'm really wishing I had prewritten this one

IS received! anyone have any info on the two pathways (global and urban)? can't find much info online, are they new? and do they require a ton of extra work?
 
Seems like it was mostly IS people getting secondaries until today. Hoping we get an OOS secondary soon!

Some of you might enjoy this but I just submitted and realized one of my essays, which is ironically all about written communication skills, had two pretty obvious typos lol. Don't know how I missed it in my proofread. Read your stuff an extra time, it seems Grammarly doesn't catch everything.

does anyone know if taking preview on august 12th will mark my application way too late since secondaries aren't considered complete until the score is in? this was my only school that required it and i didn't know if i'd get screened out but i received the secondary this morning (oos)

might as well work on your secondary essays then the Preview will be the only thing lacking
 
Anyone received a secondary for MSTP?

yes i was planning on submitting the secondary essays asap! i just wasn't sure if it would still be considered too late since the UCs prioritize early applicants and my entire application wouldn't be complete until the score came in
 
Has anyone who submitted gotten an "application complete" email? I got one saying my secondary was received, but nothing about it being marked as "complete" like at other schools...

I only got the "confirmation of receipt" email too but the status page in the app portal itself says "application is complete" so I'm assuming if it says that we're good to go!

Probably stupid question but I had to rescheduled my MCAT to 8/25, i mean, do i even have a chance with ucla? or should i not apply to ucla ?:(
 
Tbh thought I got screened out since my app was verified 5/31 and I got confirmation of receipt from UCLA 7/1, but I just got a secondary invite 7/18 at 6am, OOS. Seems pretty random at this point
 
+1 OOS secondary received at 6am ET. Got Confirmation of receipt e-mail from UCLA Geffen 7/1.

Think they went backwards by verification date. I was verified 6/01 and only got it yesterday. People verified early June got it the days before me and people verified late June and July got it the earliest.
 
Gonna be upset if I get screened out since I spent time and money on this preview exam and actually got a 7 on it
:rofl:
Here are the only 7 US MD schools requiring Preview - add some more!
Mercer, St. Louis University, UC Davis, UCLA, U Hawaii, U Mass, U Utah
 
+1 IS! verified 7/17, app receipt 7/18 2 pst, secondary sent 7/18 soon after. Lower stat, kinda URM, preview taken but no score by secondary date.
Super crazy to see an app from them, also received davis and irvine this morning.
