My application was verified June 27th and I still have not received any email from UCSD, not even a request for SSN like some others have mentioned. Should I be concerned?
On the same boat as you...

Bump: Does the Prime-HEq program require you to pursue a Master's degree?
I believe I read "strongly encourage" somewhere... I am assuming they mean MPH, but I will already have my MPH... I just want to check before I apply/write that second essay
I called before applying here because I was worried about the screen with my lower stats/lots of experience, and they said it's a holistic screen by someone on the admissions committee. They still screen out extremely low stats though too (<3.0, <500)How serious is the screen here ? I got a secondary and I'm surprised as I'm out of state, without research experience. LizzyM ~75 so curious if this is a stats screen or more holistic at UCSD

I just received the SSN request email, verified on the same date as you! No need to worry yet, think they are just processing a whole lot of applications! Good luck with everything
Pretty sure it has no bearing on your acceptance to the regular MD program (except it might help make you look more interested in their school), but if you are accepted MD then you would begin competing for the MD/MS spots. I might be totally off but that was my understanding when I applied to one of their dual programsI'm thinking about applying for the clninical research masters. Anyone know whether the essay you write for taht will affect you acceptance into teh regular MD? Basically, will they first admit me, then decide on masters? Or am I basically now competing for MD/MS spots vs. competing for MD spots? I ask because I don't think my app is strong for the clinical research masters, but I want to give it a shot.

idk if I did this right, but I sort of played down the medicine part of the prompt. I just mentioned my life story, and showed how I evolved. On some parts, I made a connection to medicine, and said something like "this is a reason I am pursueing medicine, because in this experience I learned blah blah blah, and that applies to medicine by blah blah blah. I only talked aobut my direct involvement in medicine when I got to college, but even then BARELY. Like 3 sentences. Like you, I already wrote all my significant directly applicable medical stories.Could someone break down what it means to write an autobiography about why you are pursuing a career in medicine... without repeating your personal statement?
My personal statement was written in the form of an autobiography (i.e. when and how I got into medicine, what I did to pursue it, how my view of medicine has changed through clinical experience, etc.). I'm not knocking the prompt, I just am hoping for advice on how to redo what you've already done. I can't go back and un-autobiographize my personal statement, so I feel a little stuck.
Any ideas?
Finally got secondary
Either yesterday or the day beforeWhen did you create the account with UCSD. I did it yesterday and have not heard from them?
Is there any way to pay with credit card, or are only echecks possible?
They told you that? Lol I feel like schools should just put their computer screen outs online especially if they're willing to tell you what they are if you call.I called before applying here because I was worried about the screen with my lower stats/lots of experience, and they said it's a holistic screen by someone on the admissions committee. They still screen out extremely low stats though too (<3.0, <500)
Received the secondary 7/8 after 6/12 verification, reapplicant. Last year, received my secondary early october more than a month after the SSN submission. Don't know how applicable my situation is to everyone else, I have a significant institutional action on my record. From what I remember with my communication with the admissions office, there's an automatic screen, but if you don't get past that, they'll review your application manually. I believe they said 2/3 get the secondary.
First application this cycle where I'm taking my time... have rewritten the majority of this year's submission for the prompt, anybody else think that the 6000 character limit is actually too little? haha
Have a pretty complex story, pains me to leave out so many important chunks of my life
For the global health concentration question, it states a 4800 character max, but also that a response should not exceed 1 page. Which rule am I supposed to follow? 4800 characters is definitely over 1 page
Does anyone know if applying for PRIME places you in a separate applicant pool, or are you only considered for the program once you are admitted into the MD program?
Dumb question but how long do they give you to finish this secondary?
Does anyone know how strict the requirement is for a passport photo? I've been using a nice photo but the background, though consistent, is not white...
Not sure, I hope not too strict. Same, I used a plain background but not white or passport like. Just a nice professional photo.

Personally, I think it would be weird if you didn't mention it, it's a huge part of your life and should definitely be included in an autobiography. Also, congratulations!!Did any of you mention getting married in your autobiography? I'm recently married and it's obviously important to me, but I'm worried it might be too personal/create bias or whatnot.
Also, have people's apps been forwards to the committee? I submitted about 2 weeks ago and it still says --
When did yours say that it got forwarded to committee review?OMG JUST GOT A II!!!
There still isn't a date shown and I can't sign up for an interview slot yet? Idk I'll try again later today and let you know!When did yours say that it got forwarded to committee review?
