What Members Are Saying (AI-Generated Summary)

Members are discussing their application statuses for job positions at UCLA, specifically focusing on tabs in the portal, waiting for offers, receiving alternate selections, and sharing experiences with the application process. Some users are sharing their disappointment at not receiving offers but are trying to remain positive and see it as a learning experience. Additionally, there is a discussion about whether UCLA accepts new grads from certain schools.

Hi I recently applied for the Spring 2024 cohort and didn't see a thread yet. How is everyone's application going? 

Does anyone know traditionally how they go about informing people of their status? Do they send all the offers and then wait to send out rejections in the chance that someone denies their spot? Do they send rejections before offers? I wonder if there's some sort of way they do it or it's just random

I applied last round and they sent out offer letters in batches based on unit. They didn't send out rejections at the exact same time. It was a little later and I assume it was in case some people declined their offers. Some people didn't get rejections until the very last min.

How many questions? Did they say how many they're accepting? 

No they did not. I felt like I was just having a conversation with them tbh so I don't really remember how many questions. I am kinda nervous since my interview was too quick and I felt like I didn't express myself enough ?

You got this girl ?!! Just be yourself and confident! Would be awesome if we both make it and I will feel less alone starting in such big hospital by knowing at least one person ?

Thank you!! Same that would be amazing!! I finished my interview this morning, they asked me 5 questions: tell about yourself/why ucla, role in team, pt safety, a time going above/beyond for pt, and where I see myself in 3-5 years. Overall was about 20 minutes including the questions I asked them, but they were very nice and welcoming. good luck to everyone who are still waiting to complete their interviews!

Hey! I was just curious, what did they specifically ask you about patient safety?

Hi! I don't remember the exact question, but essentially it was a time where you prioritized the patient's safety

I just finished my interview, and I don't feel so confident about it. I got asked a few clinical questions that I had blanked out on. I don't even remember the questions because of how stressed I was. However the interviewers were really nice.

Did you catch how many are they hiring? I forgot to ask that question? I know based on the interview schedules slots they are probably interviewing about 16pp. ?

Congrats on finishing your interview! I'm sure you did better than you think. We're all in the same boat. What do you mean by clinical questions? Did they ask you scenario based questions?
