Knew it was a long shot anyway and I thought I was a good "fit." Guess not but you miss all the shots you don't take! We will all make it, eventually.
Did they email you a rejection? I submitted my app back in June and haven't received an invite or rejection yet :0I got rejected as well.
Congrats and best of luck to everyone who made it! Really excited for you.

I got the rejection email just an hour ago and seems like a lot of people as well so perhaps they sent out in batches? No news = good news I would say.Did they email you a rejection? I submitted my app back in June and haven't received an invite or rejection yet :0
Omitted. good luck guys!What were your stats and were you in state or OOS?
That's absolutely crazy to me that they're already sending rejections in the middle of July!I got the rejection email just an hour ago and seems like a lot of people as well so perhaps they sent out in batches? No news = good news I would say.
I love it. Keep 'em coming! Real time compared to batches is a nice change imoThat's absolutely crazy to me that they're already sending rejections in the middle of July!
They probably made their preliminary rejections/interviews. If you didn't hear back, they're still deciding what to do with you (probably). I agree though, I'd rather know either way.I love it. Keep 'em coming! Real time compared to batches is a nice change imo
yeah it was an emailDid they email you a rejection? I submitted my app back in June and haven't received an invite or rejection yet :0
Your name should just be jitters, not caffeine jitters.Needless to say I have been checking my email every 5 minutes still no word
when did you get their email that your application is complete? because i think everyone hearing back today got theirs june 29th or earlierNeedless to say I have been checking my email every 5 minutes still no word
Needless to say I have been checking my email every 5 minutes still no word
I got my application complete email June 26! Still haven't heard backwhen did you get their email that your application is complete? because i think everyone hearing back today got theirs june 29th or earlier
You're probably right about no news being good news if you haven't heard anything yet haha.I got my application complete email June 26! Still haven't heard back
On Monday (had to wait for DAT score, submitted everything else on June 9th). They probably didn't look at my app at all because I was missing the DAT I am guessing.when did you get their email that your application is complete? because i think everyone hearing back today got theirs june 29th or earlier
did those who got rejected (or accepted for that matter) have any research?
I was offered an interview today and had two years of clinical research completed at a pediatric hospital, but nothing published and no long-term wet lab research. Best of luck to anyone still waiting to hear back!That is still so crazy to me that rejections happened this early, and especially since everyone seems to have really solid stats... Just out of curiosity and for future people stalking the thread, did those who got rejected (or accepted for that matter) have any research? I had ~2.5 yrs of pretty solid/impressive research so maybe that helps since supposedly UCSF is really research-focused?
Also, those who didn't get anything, I'd sit tight. They're probably just waiting and seeing what else rolls in. Silver lining I guess is that they're clearly not going to beat around the bush and lead anyone on for months
In your experience, if you applied early and haven't heard back, is that because they haven't gotten to your application yet or are they still deciding on what to do with you?Its gonna be a long road people, no need to stress out too much now. I applied early July last year but didnt get my interview until mid-December
Honestly I think they know exactly what they are looking for, so they don't feel the need to compare applicants now to ones that apply later. Also, A majority of people have already applied so they can see what most people's applications look like.Makes me wonder what makes them decide to give a denial early in the cycle instead of waiting to compare more applicants later.
I only had a volunteer "research" position in a lab. I didn't conduct any of my own experiments, but rather just perform them for my P.I. I wouldn't count that as research. I feel like UCSF values community service heavily. Just look at their supp questions.That is still so crazy to me that rejections happened this early, and especially since everyone seems to have really solid stats...

Got rejected from UCSF :/. Not a good start to the application cycle
Me too.. That hurts! :<
I just got rejected too, OOS applicant from Utah, 21 AA, 22 TS, 23 PAT, oGPA 3.49 sGPA 3.62. I'm a little surprised to get an early denial, but I guess they can't take us all haha. Makes me wonder what makes them decide to give a denial early in the cycle instead of waiting to compare more applicants later.
How did you guys find out about rejections..? Email or in the portal? Also when was your app complete? I went under review 7/14 and still am.I got rejected as well.
Congrats and best of luck to everyone who made it! Really excited for you.

my status prior to hearing back was also "received/under review" I had the application and and supplemental fee in on 6/23 so i suspect you'll be hearing back from them soonHi everyone! I have yet to hear back from UCSF. My application was verified by AADSAS on 6/23 and the application was sent to UCSF on 6/27. I was wondering what the status of your application was prior to your inteview and/or rejection email? My status on AADSAS reads " Received/Under Review".
Did you receive an interview or a rejection..?Mine was Received/Under Review until last night.

Makes me wonder what makes them decide to give a denial early in the cycle instead of waiting to compare more applicants later.
yeah after I got the email AADSAS changed from received/under review to "Invited for Interview"when you get invited for an interview, does your application status change? (i.e. from 'received/under review' to something else)
Did yours change to invited for interview and they didn't email you?Ok sweet! So hopefully I should hear from them by tomorrow! Fingers crossed!
No, I still havent received any interview/rejection email from them yet! My status on AADSAS still reads "Recieved, Under Review".Did yours change to invited for interview and they didn't email you?
I feel like you'll be fine! I received an interview but had no research experience. I was only a lab manager for 2 semesters, and that was strictly nonscientific (washed dishes, placed orders, etc.). I think, like someone said above, UCSF values community service more.Looks like UCSF really likes seeing research experience. This isn't going to be good for me lol...

Yeah I do not agree that UCSF values community service more.. research is definitely more important there.. look at the amount of annual funding they get from the NIDCR. Service is important at every dental school, however some value research more significantly than others (e.g. the schools that offer DDS/PhD programs).I feel like you'll be fine!

Just to clarify, I do agree UCSF values research without a doubt. Guess my comment got misconstrued. I simply stated that I believe that community service is also heavily considered. Not having research experience is not the end of your dreams if you want to get an interview. Of course I would say otherwise if I did not get an interview lol. But what do I know, I'm not on the adcoms.Yeah I do not agree that UCSF values community service more.. research is definitely more important there.. look at the amount of annual funding they get from the NIDCR.

Hopefully 5,300 hours of research experience peaks their interest.. lol *bites nails*FYI; I did 2000 hrs+ of research with 2 publications but rejected! My volunteering hours are on the lower side.... So I don't think research is only thing that UCSF looks for in the applicant. They want a well-rounded applicant! =D
I did. My app was complete and sent in with my 2ndary by June 17th. I'm received/under review in aadsasDid you guys submit the supplementary fee before receiving an email from them that your application is complete?
But no email from them yet right? I haven't gotten a single email from them yet.I did. My app was complete and sent in with my 2ndary by June 17th. I'm received/under review in aadsas
