Does UC Davis accept update letters? From what I could see online it doesn't appear like it but I have some meaningful new activities I started/publications so just wanted to double check. I really want to get an II here as I am from rural NorCal and it would be the only school near my family :( Getting love from other UCs but no davis.

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like they accept update letters. Here's the link with their policy from the UC Davis site.

I got a secondary last year with a worse app than what I have now. I have way more research this cycle, maybe they want people who are more service-focused?

I believe they are very service oriented. I'm from Southern CA and I have 500+ clinical volunteer hours working with underserved communities (rural and urban) in both SoCal and NorCal areas.

I received a secondary 4 days after I was verified (7/21). HOWEVER, I have not received an II yet so who really knows, lol!

I was verified on 8/13, I don't know what took so long or how I even got a secondary, but I was sent a secondary on 10/23. For context, I was born in NorCal and lived there for 17 years before moving to the East Coast.

Has anyone who had an interview 10/2 or any October interview heard back yet? They said 3-4 weeks but I’m not sure if that’s always the case.
