Congrats y'all!! Were any of these for PRIME?

Wondering this too +1

 

[mysteryman020]

I could see 2/8, 2/13, and 2/15, but the scheduler said that these are just the next three dates available!

Thanks!

 

[Woop99]

If we didn’t get the hold email, does that mean the R is incoming?

now i’m getting real scared of this one lol

 

[SunkenTreehouse]

Congrats y'all!! Were any of these for PRIME?

This was just for reg MD. I'm sure PRIME is incoming. They are typically towards the later part of the cycle.. 🙏

Do you know if this is for all UC schools or just SD?

Were you ever on hold? Congrats!

I'm pretty sure this is for a lot of UC schools. Don't quote me on it, but since the PRIME programs are so small it seems their interviews are towards the end..

I appreciate the insight regardless! 🫶

 

[bluejay09]

Not exactly sure how it works but when I got my interview invite, it said “PRIME interview invite.” During my interview day, we all interviewed together. I think the only difference is that PRIME lets us know if we got in or not sometime in March

 

[cellodoc]

Were you ever on hold? Congrats!

Thanks! I wasn’t on hold - good luck to everyone either on hold or still waiting to hear something

 

[porkandbeans8888]

Uh wrong thread?

 

[yee_haw22]

For y'all who interviewed 12/13 and the dates around it, is tomorrow still the decision day for this date? They mentioned it on interview day but was wondering if I remembered that correctly

 

[deleted1124957]

Tomorrow ~11AM PST

 

[organicgranola]

Y’all I’m shaking

+1 and throwing up

 

[organicgranola]

Any news?👀

 

[FutureDrCoochies]

Nothing yet. I’ve been so anxious this whole month.

 

[sciencerules13]

What's everyone's screen time on their email app looking like 🤣

 

[faze_contusion]

For people who interviewed and were told that they would hear back by X date, have yall actually been getting responses by that date? Or have things been delayed?

Back in November they delayed some interview groups from 11/3 to 11/10. I also heard back around 1:30 PM EST on 11/10.

 

[deleted1124957]

Last shot today at 1:30 I guess

Mine was accurate. I interviewed 12/7 and got the A on 01/12 at 1:30 PST

 

[TheMagicDude]

OOS Waitlist just right now, interviewed on Dec 13th.

 

[ilikethemapples]

IS WL. 12/13 interview

 

[medamind92]

IS WL. interviewed and wait listed last year too 🥲

 

[sciencerules13]

WL

 

[premed2023_CA]

Has anybody put on Pre II Hold in Oct 2023 got a II? Just wondering if there is a chance for people who are on Pre II Hold to even get an interview or assume it is a soft R?

 

[GreatPanda]

It looks like from last year's thread, the request for continued interest letters was sent out on April 26th.

And according to post #1017 on last year's thread, 30-35/300 people on WL were ultimately accepted

Pre-II holds are re-reviewed in early February, just like the email they sent you should say. I got an II off the hold last cycle (put on hold in mid-Sept), but it seems pretty uncommon.

 

[sciencerules13]

WL as well, was anyone from our date even accepted

Kinda knew we were interviewing for a waitlist, but still disappointing

What is your LM? When in feb did u hear back

 

[shhaammjjio]

IS WL too. Lowkey sucks :'(

Does UCSD not send post-ii Rs? So everyone that doesn't get an A gets WL. And it seems like everyone that interviewed in mid-december got WL?

 

[deleted1124957]

We were either interviewing for waitlist, or we got the waitlist email and the A email hasn't gone out yet to those people.

My LM was 69.5, was IS and an alum of the undergrad. Heard back early Feb

 

[potatoe79]

I interviewed 12/20 and got an A around 2pm PST

Thank you 🥹

 

[6'0 OGFLYERCI]

forgot to reply to this thread bc of my shock --
received an IS A earlier this afternoon!

Holy crap. Congrats on the insane comeback. YOU got the Dub

 

[whatsupdoc28]

Has anyone had a Prime interview yet and can PM me or can clarify if the interview is different from the regular MD interview?

 

[TooManySlices]

late, but got IS II on 12/11 for interview on 1/17. submitted 8/19!

 

[aspiringfuturedocpls]

Are they done with interview invites?

 

[aspiringfuturedocpls]

And is being on hold essentially a rejection?

@aspiringfuturedocpls not done with interviews. Yes soft R. I need you to start reading old threads before spamming the current threads please. Thanks

 

[PreMedBot]

Does anyone know if there is movement off the Interview waitlist. It seems like it is a soft R, and I was placed on it last year. sorry if this was already discussed.

 

[dihedralsymmetry]

I heard Brian say during recent interview day that they historically accept about 10-15% students off the waitlist, but it’s hard to say. I was down bad and stalked a lot of old threads—seems to vary year by year (iirc one year had like ~2 people reporting getting off WL rip).

IIRC it's ~30-35 off the post-II waitlist out of about 300 so pretty much yeah. If this person is talking about pre-II hold though I think someone here said they got off it last year but overall it's pretty rare.

 

[lanzhou_lamian]

n=1, but I got off hold in a previous cycle. Got my II first week of February.
