UCSD BS/MD interview

<p>Hi, did anyone who has applied to this program receive the invitation for the interview on this Apr 9? Thanks.</p>

<p>They said by april 5th…so I shall hold on to my small string of hope…</p>

<p>I just got a call from a lady about the interview, so I’m excited!
but we have to be there by 7:45 am–sooo early, I may just head out friday night.
By the way, I asked the lady and she said that 25 people were called for the interview, and there are a maximum of 12 spots. Good luck ceetee!</p>

<p>ehhh not looking good. oh well. good luck!!</p>

<p>Thanks. UCSD called and left a message on answering machine too. Hooray.</p>

<p>damn looks like i didnt get one</p>

<p>sorry to hear that, najmsh. Thanks zik.
Does anyone know appx. how many people apply to the program?</p>

<p>UCSD SUCKS! The application itself is a poorly put together word document. “You may e-mail your essay.” To what address? And I didn’t get so much as a confirmation that they received my app. Nothing. You spend days on something, write the essays, get teacher recs all over again, and don’t even know if they received it. *******s. But in a way, it’s good. Can’t imagine spending 8 straight years in La Jolla.</p>

<p>But congrats to those invited to interview. You guys are all set to be doctors. Nicely done.</p>

<p>lol yea the application wasn’t too great.
Btw, ceetee, what’s your REAL name? I dunno if I met you there or not.</p>

<p>i got a call today around 4. I got in!!</p>

<p>anyone else get called? I didn’t. Does that mean i didn’t get in? Id hope they call everyone, regardless of the decision.</p>

<p>UCSD called and left a message on answering machine at around 4 PM too. (It’s for my daughter).</p>

<p>did they tell you a specific decision about your daughter? i only got a message to call them back tomorrow</p>

<p>It was just a message to call back. Our guess is she is either in or wait-listed.</p>

<p>oh thank god</p>

<p>wait, there’s a wait list? did anyone get left a message saying they were accepted?</p>

<p>i got a call today saying that i was accepted. i know that they want to have exactly 12 people, so they call 12, and give them a week to decide. if anyone decides not to be in the program, then they call the people from the waitlist to fill the spots.</p>

<p>yea i was waitlisted :confused: i don’t suppose YOU’RE declining, are you qtpie? :)</p>

<p>at least you were not rejected! there is still hope for you. i really, really like ucsd and its medical scholars program :slight_smile: i am definitely thinking of going! good luck!</p>

<p>haha thank you very much! Yea the program seems really great, which is why I don’t have my hopes up- I don’t see why anyone would turn the it down. I emailed Miss Yvonne Coleman asking her how many students were waitlisted and how many have been accepted from the list in recent years—I’m hoping for good statistics!
Congratulations on your acceptance, qtpie, btw
Hahaha</p>
