UCSD New Grad (FMCC/NICU/Perinatal Program) 2016

Published

Hi I'm wondering if anyone has applied to this new grad program this year. They had the new grad program open for the NICU/Postpartum loop a couple of weeks ago. Making this thread so we can share our experiences and updates. I applied back when the application was due. Anybody have any updates?

UCSD tends to get tons of applications for all their new grad postings I've heard. Sending out prayers to all of us and checking back on this thread

They interviewed this week. I interviewed on Tuesday. They had 1000+ applications, 34 sent to managers, they chose 20 to interview and 5 positions are available! Assistant manager said calls either way will go out in a week and a half (from Tuesday when I interviewed).

My application today changed to interviewed- Pending. Hoping this is a good sign that it wasn't an automatic reject- I felt my interview didn't go as well as I hoped. Anyone know the different status changes when getting hired??

Do you mind me asking what kind of questions they asked you? How long were the interviews? How many in the panel? Don't lose hope yet, you never know :) sending good thoughts your way

I only know there was a referred to hiring department status

They asked very general things, behavioral... Tell me about a time when questions. I know they were running late on interviews, so a little over 30 minutes. Mine was probably a little shorter because they were already late and then the room they moved to had people in it, so I literally started my interview in the hallway. - at least it showed I was flexible! But generally they asked questions to see if you could handle the challenges of a NICU. It was a panel of 3. My status changed a few times- I now know that pending decision status is not a good or bad thing, just an update that they interviewed you. Thank you for your kind words :)

Thank you! I was just wondering :) Those statistics really surprised me! Being a new grad is so tough, but congratulations on landing an interview, that is already such a big accomplishment from those odds!
