I wish you the best! will share my interviewing experience soon!Props to you. I'm IS, ORM, (3.7, 510) and still hoping for a secondary
Wondering this myselfHi guys, In regard to the interview, when should we expect email about staying with a host? 1 week before?
Don't lose hope! You can always check last years thread to see if anyone got one in September. UCLA keeps sending out secondaries until Dec/Jan so maybe UCD does as wellIs it too late to be expecting a secondary in September?

Hi thank you for your response! Should I call them about it because there is a restriction in term of cancellation for my hotel ! I never received anything regarding staying with a host after registering for the interview alsoI got a response from them 2 days before my interview and my host responded one day before interview. I sent my request as soon as we got interview confirmation (10days before interview). I booked a hotel and ended up canceling my booking when I landed there. My host was very nice though

And if I may ask, how was your interviewing experience?
I really want to know the pre-screen cuz I got mine a day after verification from AMCAS. My Lizzy M score is in the 60s and I'm out of state... I don't understand... maybe its cuz i'm URM?I think they auto screen some of the secondaries before verification but I'm not sure on what criteria. I received mine within an hour of being verified.

Same situation, any idea if/when we can still be contacted about MD/PhD?Any MD/PhD applicants received MD interview without being contacted from the MD/PhD yet?
Any idea if Interview timing affects your chances? I got my ii on July 27, 3 days after completing. Initially scheduled my interview for August but I got rescheduled to mid October. Nothing I can do but i kind of want to know

Did UC Davis force you to reschedule?? That sucks at this stage in the app cycle, interviews conducted before winter should be equal imo
There was an incident during the day of (I was actually checked in, in person). They kindly helped me reschedule but the earliest open date was October 20.

Wow that's crazy, I can't imagine prepping for the whole event and then getting slammed with the cancellation
No.
I think we're just suppose to wait until we're contacted...? But I'm really confused and ended up scheduling a interview date but I'm probably going to have to cancel if its just MD only.Same situation, any idea if/when we can still be contacted about MD/PhD?
Yep. Flew there and all. Happen to know if that reschedule will hurt my chances? Or if interviewing in October a big late?
(Ps. I don't mean to be insensitive to those without IIs YET.)

Not that I'm an expert, but I've never heard of such a thing! I hope you weren't coming from too far away? October doesn't seem late to me. Hopefully there's a note on your file about why they had to reschedule you, and you will get bonus points for dealing with it graciously.Yep. Flew there and all.

I am in the same boat with UCSF. I say we wait.If I was verified in June and still haven't received a secondary or a rejection, should I email them or just keep waiting? This is the only UC I'm still waiting on. Thanks.

I got nothing from UCSF and received a secondary from UCLA in like very late August. So it's about the same for me here. UCD is my top choice, but they have not responded yet (and I submitted that secondary in like mid-July). So hopefully it all goes well for all of us.I'm in the same boat with UCSF and UCD lmao x) don't lose hope! Both schools send secondaries through December and neither school does silent rejections.
I'm in the same boat with UCLA who i've low-key given up on lol. yeah, i agree...i would also just wait. As many have commented on Davis' thread, Davis seems to have an obscure pre-secondary screening process that none of us really know how it works. It's likely not just stats based though as I have a LM in the mid 60s but got a Davis secondary. I think having strong ties to Northern CA is very important for Davis. Last year, some of my SoCal friends who had LM's in the low-to-mid 70s, but had no ties to Norther CA never received a Davis secondary, but got secondaries to all the other UCs. Davis also seems to like non-traditionals according to their MSAR data which shows a pretty large # of 30+ year old students in their entering class.I am in the same boat with UCSF. I say we wait.
Has anyone received an interview lately, especially people complete late August? Seems pretty quiet...
Same.I was complete mid-July and still nothing
A friend of mine complete mid July-ish received an II this past Wednesday. He said available dates were in November.Has anyone received an interview lately, especially people complete late August? Seems pretty quiet...

Same, except I've been done since 7/17 and I also work at UCD...Y do they hate me?I've been complete since 7/27 and have heard nothing. I went to davis as an Undergrad and this is more than a little frustrating
I'm sure you are not the first person to make this kind of administrative error. Just call the admissions office and ask them how to fix it. They are there to help you with this kind of thing.I recently completed my secondary, but submitted without filling out the pre-requisites section...
I was not in the right state of mind apparently and made a huge mistake. The application made it clear that no edits would be allowed after submission. Would this mean I'm automatically rejected? It says my secondary application is not complete because my "prerequisites" status remains as "not complete."
To be clear, I did complete all the pre-requisites listed.
I'm so angry at myself right now. I'm pretty late in the game at this point and was so happy to finally be finished with UCD's essays that I completely forgot to return to the pre-requisites section!!! Ahhh. At least I know not to make this mistake again.

I think if there's something you would like to say then you should share your opinion lol, a lot of people are not going to go digging, but if there is something you've noticed, I bet a lot of us would be happy to hear it.Yes, their 'match' rate is high - and something to be very proud of - but that is distinct from USMLE scores, specifically. I'd be curious to see how comfortable they are discussing what is going on with their curriculum and their licensing exam performance.
Also notice how the match list from last cycle is not published.
How were you able to submit if you didn't complete the prereq section? It says, "YOU MUST SUBMIT A MINIMUM OF ONE ITEM FOR EACH OF THE ABOVE DEFINED REQUIREMENTS TO ACTIVATE THE SUBMIT BUTTON"
I invite all of those offered an interview at UC Davis to ask some serious questions about the curriculum and the average USMLE Step 1 scores - and fail rates - for UC Davis students. I invite you to also ask about any trends in those scores there may be, up or down. You may find yourselves surprised.
