bradyg007 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 So I have sent in my CASPA and received the email about two or three weeks ago that my application was received, now we wait. So I thought Id start this thread so we can all stay in touch about this years application process. Anyone get interviews yet? or just waiting like me? I hate waiting :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JK101 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 waiting! Whats the deal with the supplemental application? Not everyone does it I hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradyg007 Posted August 5, 2012 Author Share Posted August 5, 2012 From what I have heard is if you are selected for an interview then they ask for a supplemental application. I think it's a way to help weed out just the interviewees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobuffs1996 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 My CASPA was submitted on 7/31/12 and they mailed it on 8/10/12. No word yet, but I will post when I hear something. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradyg007 Posted August 15, 2012 Author Share Posted August 15, 2012 Gobuffs you from CO? I submitted mine June 5th and received the "we have got your app thanks" email July 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobuffs1996 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Yes, I'm from CO. You? Does anyone know if UCD screens out all out of state applicants? I know they have a preference for CA residents, but I wasn't sure if you have to be an über applicant to get in from out of state! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradyg007 Posted August 16, 2012 Author Share Posted August 16, 2012 CO also! Originally from California tho...east bay bout an hour and a half south of uc Davis. But I think they put more emphasis on CA residents but could be their pool is mostly CA residents. They want to know you understand medically undeserved, which some of CO is so that may help us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrestler133 Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 I barely submitted my CASPA on 8/29 and was worried about it due to the time it takes to process it, but the UC Davis people told me I should be fine as long as I submitted it before the 9/1 deadline. On average how long did it take you guys for your CASPA to be processed and then mailed? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobuffs1996 Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Wrestler, I hit the submit button for CASPA on 7/31/12. My application was processed/verified/etc on 8/8/12. It was then mailed to my programs on 8/10/12. I spoke to a person at CASPA during that time and she said they start to get slammed around mid August. The processing time goes up pretty dramatically. Also, one important tidbit: They mail out applications on each Friday. Your application has to be processed and verified by close of business on Wednesday of any given week in order to be sent out the Friday of that same week. For example, if they process and verify your application on Thursday, it will not go out until Friday of the following week. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrestler133 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Thank you for the info! Really appreciate it, crossing my fingers on this one and hope everything works out. My stats are far from stellar but I think I have a decent shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aobrien Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Hello all! I turned in my application 5/27/12 and got a call for an interview this afternoon! Hopefully you all get interview offers as well. Anyone have any insight on the interview process? What to expect, what to bring, even what to wear?? Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated!

chrisj7 Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Aobrien, Congratulations on the interview. I received my call yesterday and the email confirmation arrived today. I have been searching and found a post where an MMI format was used for the interview. I am still searching and preparing for anything. The email will tell you what the day will look like...wear a suit! My interview date is 10/3. When is yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradyg007 Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 Congrats! I sent my caspa in June 23 so I may be next! Did they call the number on your Caspa app? When are interviews? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aobrien Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 They did call the contact # I left on my Caspa application. I'm scheduled for October 8th. And Chrisj7 thanks for the info! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrestler133 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 for those of you who received interviews recently, would you guys mind sharing your stats and HCE? I want to see how I stack up against you guys to see if I have a chance of being interviewed lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
risktaker Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Got a call for interview yesterday. I am psyched! I will be interviewing Oct 11th. If anyone knows any information about the interview style/content, I would greatly appreciate a pm from one of those people. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradyg007 Posted September 14, 2012 Author Share Posted September 14, 2012 So far everyone who got interviews are you from CA? I'm from CO and I understand that their emphasis is on Californians Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
California<3 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Hi everyone! I have been snooping around on the forum for a month now. I thought I would join in on the conversation =) I just recieved my interview invitation a couple of days ago,it was supposed to be for the 11th but I rescheduled to the 23rd. Is anyone else going the 23rd as well? My STATS: I'm from CA, did my bachelors in Microbiology. My volunteer HCE is at 900 Hours, and my work experience is at 2000 as an EMT. to BradyG007: honestly it looks very commited that you are applying to out-of-state schools. just consider your motives for choosing CA : whether, maybe you want to eventually raise a family here, or you have family.. ect. just make sure you have other motives for applying in CA other than just to increase you chances =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradyg007 Posted September 15, 2012 Author Share Posted September 15, 2012 Well I grew up in East Bay so I'm born and raised northern californian. Which is why I want to go back, friends, family. It's just hard to write in the general CASPA essay about wanting to go back to CA since it goes to all schools. All I can do is keep my fingers crowed and hope I get call Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrestler133 Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 does anyone know how they notify people that they will not get interviews? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ray071 Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Hey Chris, How did you interview go? What is the format like? Mine is 10/8 so I'm hoping to get an idea what to expect! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrestler133 Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 they're already interviewing on 10/8??? I haven't even gotten a receipt of my application notification yet :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aobrien Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Hi Wrestler133, I also applied to Davis last year and I didn't get an interview. I don't think that they notify you if you don't get an interview, you just don't hear from them which is the worst! But there is still plenty of time for you to get a call! Good luck and hang in there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck and hang in there! I submitted my CASPA on 8/30 and it was mailed out to UC Davis on 9/21. The people at Davis said as long as I submitted my CASPA by 9/1 they said I'd be fine in terms of 'meeting the deadline' even if it got mailed out later. Do you know how long the interviews go to? like if they go until December or something for those who submitted it closer to the deadline? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
