<p>Did anyone receive a call or email from UCSD SOM 7Yr/8Yr Medical Program? They are supposed to announce the results today..</p>

2

<p>that’s strange… I still haven’t received anything</p>

<p>I don’t think they notify you if they don’t want to interview you. Either that or they’re late because they received an unprecedented number of applicants. I personally am not counting on the latter having occurred.</p>

<p>This must be one of those weirdest coincidences. As soon as I posted this in the morning, I got the call for the interview… It is on the 7th April</p>

5

<p>got an email saying I didn’t get the interview around 11 today… pretty crushed, but good luck to everyone who’s still left in the running!</p>

<p>Hi Itheron,
I was just wondering if it was the first round interview or the second round intervew on april 7th; i believe UCSD has two rounds of interviews and then chooses its 20 kids?</p>

<p>copy/pasted from the email: We greatly appreciate your applying to the University of California, San Diego Medical Scholars Program.* Unfortunately, we are not going to be inviting you to interview for this program.*
*
The Admissions Committee’s decision should not be interpreted as an indication that the Committee believes you are not qualified to enter medical school and become a good physician. It is merely a reflection of the intense competition for admission which results in approximately 42 applicants for each position in the Medical Scholars Program.* As a result of this intense competition, we must reject many superbly qualified applicants such as yourself.**
*
We encourage you to matriculate at UCSD and apply to the medical school during your senior year.
*
Thank you for your interest in UCSD School of Medicine.

<p>I still haven’t received any kind of notification… should I be worried? :/</p>

<p>I haven’t received one either. There is an official post on the Med scholars forum that says that everyone will know the results by the end of this week. So we have nothing to worry about.</p>

<p>Has anyone still not been contacted? At this point, I’m assuming I wasn’t invited for an interview, but it’d be nice to get some sort of confirmation…</p>
