UCSD New Grad (FMCC/NICU/Perinatal Program) 2013

U.S.A. California

Published

Hi, everyone! I am starting this thread to see if anyone out there has applied to- and possibly interviewed with- UCSD earlier in November for their new grad perinatal program (or for another program if you would like to share too). I applied and had an interview earlier this week and am trying my best to wait patiently, but knowing I'm not waiting alone would be nice :)

My interview was for the L&D loop. It ended up being 3 people (2 managers of L&D, 1 of FMCC) and they were very nice. I felt like it went really well, but then again you never know what exactly they are looking for and who else they are interviewing. There were some behavioral questions, but not as many as in past interviews I've had. They wanted to know more specifics about my preceptorship, and there was one prioritization question. I was told they will not be letting people know for 2 weeks, possibly a little longer. That wait is going to be so hard! Good luck on your interview next week! Which loop are you interviewing for?

So my status changed from 'referred to hiring department' to 'consideration for interview'.. I'm a bit confused. I already got an interview. I'm interpreting this 2 ways, either its a late entry or another interview will be scheduled? Someone pls enlighten me!

I think they got the statuses a little mixed up. I applied for both loops, but have only interviewed for L&D loop (my first choice). The other day when I checked my status, the L&D loop one still said "referred to hiring manager" and the NICU loop one said "consideration for interview" although I've heard nothing from NICU since responding to their initial questions. Today I checked again and NICU status says "interviewed- pending decision" and L&D says "consideration for interview". So I'm pretty sure they just got a little mixed up.
