Anyone else applying to JMP or PRIME, or know if they have additional application questions associated with those programs? Thanks in advance!

Do they notify you if you’re not going to be receiving a secondary? Feeling a bit discouraged I thought I was in range (mid MCAT with strong c/sGPA and had diverse set of experiences with 1 gap year)

I'm pretty sure UCLA is just a stats screen for most people, they're just probably sending secondaries out in waves! if you have a solid application like you said then you'll definitely get secondaries from these schools

Given the amount of other people who have also not received secondaries, plus your reported stats, I really think you'll be fine. But, to answer your question, my understanding is no, if you don't receive a secondary there is generally no notification and you are never rejected because you were never given an opportunity to be complete. This is why you really need to make sure your e-mails are making it through any junk filters your provider might have, because you could very well have a secondary notification be blocked by a filter and never know it.

I never got anything that the application was received and I was verified back in June.

If it makes you feel any better, either UCLA wants nothing to do with me or is being super slow 🤣

Why can I make it through the three other UC screens but not the fourth one? Major bummage.

edit: Honestly not concerned about it though since it is still super early. MSTP with an IA and they aren’t looking at MCAT scores. I am sure I am in a pile somewhere, we shall see

It's really annoying that MCAT isn't looked at... makes all my CC prereqs look terrible though I scored 520+.

Wait, does UCSF send an application receive email? Never got one.

Is MCAT not considered for UCSF? I thought that was just a temporary covid thing

taken from their site:

All candidates will be screened and interview decisions will be offered without utilization of an MCAT score.

so perhaps they use it post-interview

Yeah, I didn't get an application received, just their secondary email. I only got primary received for UCSD and UCLA.

I wouldn't worry. They'll be trickling out. We had the same conversation on the UCLA thread and slowly but surely more and more people got that one, this one is just shifted a little to the right. I'm still waiting as well.

But will this impact our interview chances give the rolling process? I.e. aren't they reviewing all those people who submitted secondaries a week or two ago?

Probably unlikely it will affect our chances this early, and with an already narrowed down field. They don't seem to give out interviews until mid-late August at the earliest, so everyone before that is likely considered for that first batch of interviews

No. This is just SDN neurosis going into hyper-drive. Yes, being complete in August gives you an advantage over someone who isn't complete until October. No, being complete on July 12th does not give you an advantage over someone who is not complete until July 22nd. :)

You just cannot extrapolate a rule of thumb that works in terms of months and apply it to days or weeks. It really isn't a race, and it's not first-in, first out. They are dribbling them out in order to control their work flow, not to penalize those who aren't the first to receive. Being complete in July absolutely does not confer an advantage, anywhere, over those complete in August. This is where the "complete by Labor Day is early" SDN rule comes from!!

Anywhere between a day and a year. That is how it will be for every school.

That depends on how they review you. Anywhere from a week to a few months.
