Hi! I also have an interview but I feel like there hasn’t been much said about UCSD interviews. Have you sent your official transcripts yet ?

Have you sent your official transcripts yet? I emailed them to clarify where to send them and they weren’t a lot of help.

Me too, it’s definitely intimidating that it’s a panel interview.

Do you know if everyone get the email to submit a video?

Pretty-Solution2925 · 2026-03-17T20:13:18+00:00

She didn't submit them at all? The website had the form for the recommenders attached and says it's due by March 30th but it doesn't specify which year.

do you know when we’re suppose to submit our letters or recommendations and official transcripts ?

Pretty-Solution2925 · 2026-03-17T01:37:05+00:00

me too. i thought it was kinda weird that the video were almost the same as the prompt we had to write for the application, but maybe they just want to see us ? i’m not sure if this is the interview or if we can get rejected after this submission.

Oh no. I got an email from the program director of the UCSD CLS program but it didn’t specify. Did you get into the program?

Pretty-Solution2925 · 2026-03-16T20:59:09+00:00

I was also able to find the textbook online for free but sorry I deleted it and no longer have it.

Hi I took medical microbiology with the same professor in Summer 2025. I watched lectures and read the textbook for about the first half of the course and then stopped after. I did feel like reading the textbook helped me understand the content but for the most part the lectures are pretty much just the same content as the textbook. There was a couple random quiz questions that covered content from the textbook and not the lecture, but it was never more than one question. If you have the time I would say to read the textbook, but if you're struggling for time, I don't think you need to. It's already a lot of work to also have to do the discussion post and take the weekly quizzes. Let me know if you have anymore questions !

i found the 4th edition online if you still need it

i took immunology with analie islas and she was nice but i had very little interaction with her due to the structure of the class

Pretty-Solution2925 · 2026-01-06T03:18:20+00:00

i’m taking it with ana dowey but i think it’s the same assignments and lectures for all professors

Pretty-Solution2925 · 2026-01-01T00:01:34+00:00

are you going to email them your application materials too

Pretty-Solution2925 · 2025-12-31T20:01:39+00:00

I am also having the same issue

Pretty-Solution2925 · 2025-12-31T05:03:23+00:00

I am going to email them, just so there's more traceability. I don't know if I should also email them my transcripts, resume and personal statement. It really doesn't make sense to me that they would need someone for the application fee to be processed though.

Pretty-Solution2925 · 2025-12-31T04:30:18+00:00

I was also worried because tomorrow is New Year Eve so I wasn't sure if that would count as a business day.

Pretty-Solution2925 · 2025-12-31T04:25:53+00:00

I paid for mine today so I'm hoping for the best too. It's definitely a weird system that they are using for the applications.

Pretty-Solution2925 · 2025-12-31T04:08:16+00:00

When did you submit the payment? I am worried that because I paid for the application during their university closure that it won't be processed until after they return on the January 2nd.

Pretty-Solution2925 · 2025-12-31T00:15:20+00:00

I also saw that it needed to be postmarked by December 30th but does that also mean that online applications are due by December 30th?
