Has Kaiser given out pre-II rejections or are those rejections people who didn't log their interview date?

Interviewed super early in the cycle and never heard back. Truly thought I was gonna get ghosted or waitlisted but the A came through. It’s not over till it’s over.

For people who have received acceptances, was it through a phone call or email? Just curious

Count on around 3.5 to 4 hours. Either starting early morning PST or late morning PST if I'm remembering right. Idk when they'll tell you which session you're in tho

I asked adcoms, and they dodged my question. Also hoping for the best... wished they accepted updates.

Does anyone know when this school typically sends its last interview invite or when their interview invites usually stop for the cycle?

I’m not entirely sure. But it seems like my interview date was last (2/6/26). There hasn’t been any interviews since then. Plus, there was only one more date for the optional info sessions for interviewees, and it was right after my interview.

Could be totally wrong. There could be some last minute interviews later in the cycle. I would def look at last year (ik the sample size is small) to see how the cycle generally went. But that was just my perspective.

For anybody who got in, what are you doing for housing? Are you looking at a place for yourself, with room mates, near school & more expensive or further & cheaper? Which neighborhoods are you considering?

I've been looking at what's available for rent near the school and see $2,400+ for a 1 bd, and 3,500+ for a 2 bd. I'll probably go the room mate route hoping we gel and they like cats :). I'm also looking at Alhambra where I see decent 1 bd for $1,800+, and it's a 12-13 minute drive.

Anyone have any intel on a possible acceptance batch coming soon? There was just a mass exodus, so I'd imagine some possible acceptances after all that lol

I’m hoping so. It seems like most of the acceptances on admit so far have been reported on Thursdays and Fridays so if not today or tomorrow hopefully in the next coming weeks!

So how’s everyone feeling about Kaiser’s match rate? I heard 100% students matched this year but no specifics have been released

Last year and the year before there was a final round of pre-WL As the week of 3/22 according to SDN. So I am hopeful some of us will get good news this week. After this week, I would say yes.

Trad MD, but I also have a friend who was admitted to both PRIME & Kaiser. They said their PAL didn’t include the scholarship yet ($20k) so they’re gonna wait till after second look to decide where they’re choosing!
