gmoney9438 Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Hi everyone, I believe it is customary for medschool applicants to write a letter of intent. Does UCD want us to write a letter of intent or is an email okay? I wrote an email affirming my decision to accept, but I haven’t received a response yet.

OTW2PA2022 Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 I am wondering the same thing. I responded with an email to confirm my initial decision, however, I have not heard back yet either. And I have to unenroll from my current program which starts in 2 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob234 Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 I received my waitlist confirmation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmoney9438 Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 In regards to the post above, I received my waitlist offer, and I sent an email to accept my position on the waitlist. I was not sure if they expected a Letter of Intent, or just an email is fine. I just did not receive a reply from them after sending an email expressing my willingness to be on the waitlist. Sorry for the confusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAschooler Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 (edited) We get our official acceptance letter in February and the Statement of Intent to Register in February too (which I think is when we pay our deposit). But for now after we email with our initial decision, that should be all until February. And so we are set to enter the summer class. Please correct me if this is incorrect.

biopsyd Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 4 hours ago, PAschooler said: Hey everyone, if their first email said, “Congratulations! We are delighted to recommend you for admission”, Does that mean we are 100% accepted? Or is the school still in the process of recommending our app to the Dean reviewing it? It’s just a bit weird because schools usually say, “we are delighted to inform you of your acceptance…” Yes, that is an acceptance. All you have to do is indicate in the form on your portal that you accept your seat and submit it. That's it. You don't have to email them or anything to accept. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SurveillanceDoe Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Confirmed my waitlist position. I am waiting on some other schools so I’m wondering if we still would have a chance to decline if UCD offered me admission but i had already accepted another offer?

PAschooler Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Did any of you guys get your official letter of acceptance or SIR yet? On your graduate studies application account Happy Holidays everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmoney9438 Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 For those of you who are accepted, any interview advice for someone on the waitlist? This is my second year applying, but this process seems very competitive and all I get are waitlist offers. UC Davis is my number one pick, as I live in Sacramento and I've heard so many great things about this school from a friend of mine who just graduated.

PAschooler Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Yeah I think being confident and practicing your interview answers many times is the best thing you can do, and not sounding like a robot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My biggest piece of advice is to practice and video record your answers to interview questions. This helped me a lot with fixing any distractions (like saying um, using my hands a lot, etc). It also helped with keeping answers short and not dragged out. Keep things personal too instead of generic. At the end of the day, you wanna be remembered! There’s a really interview guide book that has tons of practice questions that I’m sure will help you out a tons! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
human1089 Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 I received the congratulations email, replyed and signed the financial agreement. They responded with looking forward to having you and expect the official one in February, via email. But nothing have changed on my UC Davis profile. Everything is still red.

brighttsunnyy Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 hi everyone happy holidays! when is the deadline for those accepted to put in their deposit? do you think they'll start pulling from the waitlist soon or maybe more in the springtime?

PAschooler Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 We are not able to submit deposits yet so it looks like they’d be due in late February Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brighttsunnyy Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Has anyone tried email the program and asking about your place on the waitlist? I can't remember if they said we can do that or not, or that we should just wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked back in December how the waitlist is ranked and where my position is, I was given the response, "The waitlist consists of a small pool of selected applicants. These applicants are not numbered, but will be considered for admission if a position in the entering class becomes available. If you are offered a position in the entering class we will be in contact with you immediately. If you are not admitted from the waitlist during this admission cycle you are encouraged to reapply for our 2024 cohort." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were final decisions due in Feb? Historically the deadline has been mid-April, wondering if it was pushed up this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TavTav Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 I'm on the waitlist as well, my transcripts still show red X's. For those accepted, did they get an email stating "application complete"? Just trying to see if there is a correlation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
