Doubtfully. I heard that they're slow
Someone in the Physician Scientist Interview Invites thread got an interview to the MSTP. Generally, it's unusual that the MSTP is faster than the MD-only. Guess that's not the case here.Have they started sending out interview invitations yet?
Did anyone who got a secondary and checked the MD/graduate degree on the primary NOT get the PRIME secondary? Is there PRIME screening involved in including the PRIME secondary with the regular secondary or not?
This is off topic, but how about the UCLA vs. Texas A&M game on Sunday?! What a comeback! With a comeback like that, it gives me hope to get an interview here!
Over UCSF?UCLA just also beat Cal in rankings finally hahaha UCLA ranked No. 1 U.S. public university by Times Higher Education
UCSF does not have undergradOver UCSF?

Alright. I'm gonna call tomorrow just to make sure I'm doing it all right. Thanks for the info. I'm glad to hear that they're okay with people changing their minds.
Any updates on the call?
Do you guys think that car loans and mortgages count towards consumer debt? Also, what is the purpose of this section?Also, do they want what we currently owe or how much we owed when we graduated? I paid al $75k off. But that was a long ordeal.

Trying to quickly finish the secondary over here ....
Just wondering if it's a bad idea if your most meaningful activities don't match up with those on your primary. A couple of mine are work experiences as well so I rather now right about them twice.
Also, would y'all consider a volunteer teaching position in an underserved school to be an "academic activity?" I did more than just teach if that helps. I also volunteered at their events.
I interpreted academic activity to mean something to do with your own school work or research - not necessarily teaching others. So if you want to use it for a volunteer/non-academic activity you are probably fine! But maybe email to check?

SECONDARY HELL IS OVER LADIES AND GENTLEMEN
Interviews start in two weeks so they should start sending our requests. Hearing from classmates Charles drew on the other hand has started.
I mean. They already have delayed interviews.Do u know if they're gonna delay interviews since they are already delayed from the secondaries?
I dont sorry, don't be in a rush. I didn't hear back for a few weeks after my secondary and over a month after my interview.Do u know if they're gonna delay interviews since they are already delayed from the secondaries?
for the hours worked section for the work experiences, are you guys estimating the total amount you will work if entering your gap year job? or just how many hours you worked so far?
Thanks so much for replying ! Very useful, I was driving my parent's nuts with all this tax info!
Did you apply as disadvantaged?I don't see any questions asking about taxes in the secondary. I'm trying to figure out if I'm skipping over a section or if only certain applicants get asked to provide tax info?
Did you apply as disadvantaged?
Hmm. So if you apply as disadvantaged you get a parent income and consumer debt question?Did you apply as disadvantaged?
To be honest I am unsure. I was just to see if whether applying as disadvantaged makes a difference. Because there they ask whether or not you want to continue being evaluated as disadvantagedHmm. So if you apply as disadvantaged you get a parent income and consumer debt question?
I didn't apply disadvantaged and I got those. However I was urm and SES designated.

I put in literally two sentences for both. I am kinda regretting writing such short things, but in my head, I just assumed that they forgot to fix the character limit for this section lol.With the work experience, did most people list things with bullet points like in a resume? Or describe the job like in an essay? For some reason I originally thought it was 4000 characters to describe my total work experience and now I'm realizing that's what I get for each job. I'm tempted to copy and paste my resume in to save time.

I actually just copy pasted my AMCAS for the most part.
I repeated jobs and added others I did not have room to put on the primary but who knows lolThat would be nice! I have just a few extra jobs that I didn't list on AMCAS, but I wasn't sure if it looked bad to repeat what was already on the application.

I went more in depth about what I learned on the primary whereas more emphasis was placed on the description on the secondary.Did you use the same AMCAS descriptions for jobs previously listed? Or did you write something new?

What has been your most scholarly project (thesis, research or field of study in basic or clinical science or in the humanities)? Describe one and give number of hours, dates and advisor. (300 characters)
Do they want us to list the hours/dates for one single project or our research in general. Spent a year working on a thesis, but I have no clue how many hours I spent working solely on that...
Does anyone known if ucla looks at LOTs before sending out secondaries? I wanna make sure that I don't have a bum letter bc I just got my 2nd rejection this cycle with no IIs. I see people around here with my LM already have like 4 to 6 IIs so I'm starting to get kinda scared.
literally same, I do not think that any of my recs would be bad, I have a good relationship with all of my writers at least I think, and I hope that they would have been professional enough to just say no if they did not think they could write a good one. But your thought has crossed my mind. Fingers crossed that some good news comes soon for both of us!Does anyone known if ucla looks at LOTs before sending out secondaries?

Yeah i know what you mean. I cant imagine any of my writers writing anything bad but this process has a way of making your mind wander to extremes. But best not to dwell and over think these things.literally same, I do not think that any of my recs would be bad, I have a good relationship with all of my writers at least I think, and I hope that they would have been professional enough to just say no if they did not think they could write a good one.
