"since we are thankfully boring, let me bring drama from other spreadsheets to us...did anyone else hear about the ucsd psych thing were they meant to send out interview updates but ended up sending their notes on each applicant? like "bottom of their class" "was pregnant during step 1" "no research" "identifies as gay latino male" lol as well as step scores, honors, personal things from personal stament. like how do they even fix this "
