Hey duo peeps—I just got a letter in the mail from ucsf about applying for financial aid, and having to download duo. I know from other A’s I have that individual school financial aid/scholarship proceedings just opened or will open soon at this time. Ucsf is the only school I’ve received any prompting from regarding steps to take for financial aid (that isn’t just adding the school to fafsa) that I have only have an interview, but no A for (waiting for decision) so I’m a bit confused.

Throwing this info out there to see if anyone else has this letter, and if the letter/duo email was sent to all interviewed applicants only, accepted applicants, WL applicants, or everyone applied.

I'll have to see if I receive next week since mail wasn't delivered today due to the new year and tomorrow is Sunday. I did get another automated duo prompt to sign up for that. Also interviewed but no decision yet. I will say though on my interview day they did say to start sending Fafsa stuff and that was in October (aka far before anyone was accepted), so I wouldn't read much into this stuff yet. Best to just wait for the next wave for an actual decision hopefully.

The letter explicitly says its not an offer an admission and I just thought it was odd to start applying for aid and scholarships when we don’t even know if we’ll be accepted yet + the letter says theres a deadline/urges us to apply ASAP

They are a public school so I'd guess maybe it's simply because limited aid and wanting to see how many applicants might require it.
 
Anyone else get a “UCSF COVID-19 Positive Case Notification” by email from UCSF Alerts? Interviewed early December and have not received admission

Yeah they send it to everyone who interviewed, I believe (according to last year’s thread).

This. They sent me a secondary the first week of December and even though I was complete the next day, it feels like a trap lol

@TheKingfish if you don’t mind, could you tell me your range of stats? I am waiting as well with a gpa between 3.85 and 3.95 and was wondering if it was taking longer because my stats aren’t high enough (completed in September/October)
 
When were you complete?


Also think there are any more IIs left?
Complete 12/3 and honestly have no idea how anything works lol. Can't imagine there were many applications past december so maybe they're finishing up going through secondaries and then have one more wave but who knows
