IS Pre-II R. This was the last school pre-I I had to hear back from(Withdrew from the rest in October and December). Cycle almost done

 

[Woop99]

are all the Rs today post hold?

 

[AlphoNumia9]

+1 pre-II/post-Hold R. Pretty much seals my fate to leave my home state, but I welcome the opportunity. Good luck everybody else!

 

[soupkitchens]

I got rejected pre II from UCLA and UCSF but got an II for UCSD…….don’t give up hope

Can any current or past med students give some advice on where to live as an MS1? I am filling out the grad student housing application, and there are 6 housing communities (Nuevo East, Nuevo West, Mesa Nuevo, Mesa apts, Coast apts, and One Miramar) we can rank. Would love some insight into the pros and cons of each (other than cost).

I live off-campus, but many of the on-campus med students live in Neuvo West, Mesa Nueva, or Nuevo East — these are newer buildings and right next to each other. Mesa Nueva units have a dishwasher, and I believe Mesa Nueva and Nuevo West are furnished. As for One Miramar and Mesa Apartments, these are also in the same grad housing cluster but are older / more dated buildings. I haven't heard of medical students living in the Coast apartments, probably since they are further away from the rest of grad housing / medical school / hospital.

Do we need to have roommates arranged yet to apply for housing?

Do we need to have roommates arranged yet to apply for housing?

I don't think so. The email I received recommended getting on the waitlist, even if you aren't sure of your preferences yet. Also, there is an admitted CO2028 FB group, and on the page, there is a Google doc for finding roommates!

 

[HeyBabyBoy72]

Still waiting on anything! 😍 complete 7/20 lmaooo

 

[Shmoof]

+1 haven't heard anything after completing secondaries.. has ANYONE received IIs this past week or should i start hammering in the nail on the coffin 🫶

 

[zakimran23]

I got the UCSD secondary very late (Sept) and submitted it late (Oct). I haven't been put on hold, but I am assuming they haven't even gotten to my application yet. I'm moving forward and assuming its an R and will be prepping to reapply. This upcoming cycle I'll be applying prime as I believe I'll be a good fit for that program based on my extracurricular experiences and goals as a physician. Best of luck to those of you still waiting. Hope you all get an II and/or A!

Submitted 8/30 but honestly i'm starting to feel that all hope is lost for a shot here.. praying for my comrades in arms who have yet to hear back!

 

[guavaberry34]

I looked through past threads and I saw someone get an II in March so it's definitely possible for those who haven't heard back at all to get an interview... fingers crossed!

 

[soupkitchens]

Waiting for hear after my interview, the post-ii A is like one-in-three right? this waiting is killing me

25% chance of acceptance immediately post interview, the other 8% acceptance comes from waitlist movement.

Out of curiosity, where did you get this information?

 

[katmatcha]

Hey everyone! Sorry if this has been asked before, but for those who have interviewed, do you know around what time your interview day ended? Thanks in advance!

[shawarmaways]

Been complete since 7/26 and no news at all.... pure torture

 

[potatoe79]

For peeps who have interviewed, what did ya’ll do for thank you letters? Seems like they don’t really care about them but they still welcome applicants to upload them if they wish? Do peeps who didn’t upload thank you notes get As? Thanks!

I didn’t do thank you notes and got accepted

 

[med4540]

i didn’t write thank you notes and i also got accepted! i really don’t think they care or are necessary, especially for mmis

Does anyone know when they typically start accepting off WL? or how many they accept? Thanks in advance

They historically have taken ~30-35 off the WL. Movement tends to start in May

 

[GreatPanda]

I think someone said they have 300 on the waitlist, so about 10-15% get in off the WL

Yeah they said 10-15%. Hopefully this doesn't violate my NDA 🙊

Idk if any schools explicitly tell anyone when they're done sending out IIs, but based purely on last year's UCSD SDN thread, the latest reported II was 2/24/23 and the latest reported interview date was 3/7/23. So based on that, I think they're pretty much done. But who knows?

Edit: In the 2021-22 cycle SDN, the latest reported II was on 2/4/22 and the latest reported interview date was 2/26/22
