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 :/ 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 :) 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>
