Status update?

[qwerty92]

Does anybody's application status still say "being screened for consideration of full file review"? Debating emailing them about it but I don't want to email unnecessarily if this is still expected!

Yup mine does still.

Same, but they are having to deal with a lot of applications. Also this is not the only thing they are dealing with, so unless they email you with concerns I would not bother, just my opinion.

Same here. I don't know if I'm remembering this correctly (would love if someone could corroborate) but I remember my application status only changing to something like "Under Review" really close to the II date, something like 3-4 weeks before. My hunch is that your file doesn't change status until one of the four reviewers actually opens up YOUR app and doesn't change to "Awaiting final interview decisions" until the last review has scored your app. Essentially, your app is stuck on this screening status until someone comes to your app I think.  

 

Was worried about this too though lol, I've spent half my time at work refreshing UCAN!! I wouldn't expect any status changes until January though - people are heading off on winter break now.

What I remember is that last year, I think for most people, the status changed to “application under review’ like mid November and stayed like that for a good 1.5-2 months. For me personally, my status changed to ‘awaiting interview decision’ right after the holidays (I clearly remember checking the first week of Jan). Really not sure what the current status means but as someone else pointed out (on a different thread), it probably means reviewers are going over apps.

Thank you everyone for the replies, it helps to ease my nerves

I was just curious because I heard a couple of people had their status update changed to something else about a month ago. I imagine that they must be moving through the applications in batches.

Anyone's status change yet?

Mine changed to "awaiting a decision regarding interviews"

[qwerty92]

Mine still says being screened for consideration of full file review. Anyone else? 

[alo]

same

[GreyHairPreMed2.0]

Yup me too. Truly think they are just backed up. They are a really small office and thousands of apps take time. I wouldn’t take the remaining status as a sign of anything other than a busy office.

Also still says being screened for consideration of full file review for me

[coffee-addict]

mine changed to "awaiting a decision regarding interviews" this morning

[DENT2021]

Mine changed a couple of days ago as well! Hopefully we'll be hearing back soon cause my nerves can't handle this for much longer lol

[CantaloupeSeeds]

mine has also changed this week - hopefully Dr. P hits us with an update sometime this week for when to expect invites!

[GreyHairPreMed2.0]

Mine still reading “Being screened for consideration of full file review”.  Dates will come friends! Stay humble and stay positive ODAAT! 

[garceyues]

Still says being screened for consideration of full file review as well. Hoping for an update on the blog soon, its been a while!

[OSRmedhopeful]

Anyone else’s status still hasn’t changed?

[GreyHairPreMed2.0]

Yup still remains “Being considered”. This process for UC is a very large undertaking as their admin staff is a very small number of people. As long as our requirements for full file review have been met(eg. GPA, degree,  MCAT CARS etc) I have no doubt that the status will change. It is difficult to wait and wonder but this is my 3rd round of applications for UC and they always come through with communication in my experience. Good luck and I hope the coming weeks are as stress free as possible for everyone!
