anyone have an idea of how low of an MCAT UCLA MSTP gives interviews to for ORM ?

Where do you see US News data?

You have to buy a subscription. The numbers are reported by many but not all medical schools themselves.

Adcom talking admissions.

Says no mcat or gpa cutoff yet I didn't receive secondary (verified 7/28/26) unfortunately heard some people get secondary late so there's still hope I think.

I did undergrad, post bacc, research for 2 years with first author, summer health program all there so I'd hope to at least receive a secondary LOL

Their website says they've interviewed as low as a 505 in the past, so I doubt there's a hard cutoff, but given that their average is a 519-520, I'd have to imagine your odds start to drop significantly below like a 515ish.

How do people feel about their interview? I feel pretty unsure about mine. They didn't feel conversational at all and it definitely felt like they had a list of questions to get through or something. I'm worried since people mostly say good things about the interview here. One of mine was chill and the other very much wasn't.

I had one that was very stressful and one that was very chill. I think this is not the norm, however.

Does anyone know if your application is DOA if one of your letter writers didn't submit their letter within the 2 week submission deadline? Everything else within my secondary was complete and I received an email notif saying they received my secondary but I wasn't sure. I also think I had already fulfilled the minimum letter # requirement atp.

I'm glad I'm not alone! I hope it's okay...

I think UCLA typically hands out acceptances very late though. I think last year the earliest acceptances were handed out end of October and most acceptances were December into April so I wouldn't worry if we don't hear back for a long time.
