I submitted mine! I think that email requesting transcripts/ LOR was sent automatically and doesn't actually need to be completed because the email we got about the UCD grad application states we don't need to upload either as they will be transferred from our Nursing CAS application.

Thank you for the response, Annier!

That is what I thought. I saw that they underline it in the instruction but this email gave me a low-key panic attack and wanted to double-check. 

One of my LOR people is out of the country. 

I'm submitting my application today. Good luck! I hope we all get in!!

Hello, 

I hope you all are doing well. I was wondering if anyone has submitted their application yet? I got an email that I need to submit references but I didn't see a place on the application. Does it populate after we submit the application?

I received an email stating the same thing (missing letters of recc). However, I know for a fact that my recommenders already sent their letters. Maybe we can disregard that automated email? Anybody else have insight? 

I also applied a few days back. Best wishes to all - I know that just getting here was a process and took lots of effort on everyones part. Now it's a waiting game. I'm very curious to know what percent of people who get invited to the 2nd phase of this application, actually get accepted? Any previous cohorts have any insights?

Hi everyone, 

Did anyone receive any email from UCD yet? I also was invited to the second rounds of application and I can't keep calm. I also made a mistake of uploading my transcripts when I did the secondary application. I hope that does not affect me ?

Hello Laceyy,

 

I think we will hear back by the end of next month or beginning of March. I uploaded my transcripts too because I wanted to update the grades I received for Fall semester. I think we will be fine.

Okay I feel better. I was reading the thread from last year and it looks like most students got their updates around February 18. Thank you!

The wait is excruciating. I think about this everyday, all day. How are you all staying busy? My kids, work, and walks should keep me busy however it doesn't stop me from feeling so much uncertainty. Wow. I hope everyone is tugging along. I'm hoping that they let us know some time next week.

I'm also struggling with the wait, and my anxiety continues to rise. I don't have kids, I don't have a job, and I don't take walks but I did start a new hobby--I started doing yoga and pilates. It also helps me release some tension.

It's so hard. But I think we might hear back end of next week guys. I read the thread from the previous cohort and it seems like most of the students got a response at around 2/16/ 2/18. Just a few more days !!

My anxiety is high too. I keep checking my email. I know the last cohort received their emails around this time. I hope we get in!! 

I think we'll hear back this Friday ????
