  1. Yes heard this as well and I believe it's also on their IG page.
  2. Accepted: VFMP Time stamp: May 12th, 3:39PM PST IP graduated BSc 2014 AGPA: 83.6% MCAT: 10/7/10 (wrote the MCAT 3 times) Interview: Felt much better about this year's MMI interview than the last 2 years. Had a good idea of what kind of topics they ask and so I was able to prepare accordingly. Practiced a few hours each week with family and friends since I was working full-time, but at the end of the day, it's quality practice over quantity practice. ECs: sports, music, research, volunteering, school clubs, worked 6 different jobs since I was 16. I don’t have anything special, just long-term commitments that I enjoyed doing. I am a 5 time applicant (2012/2013, 2013/2014, 2014/2015, 2015/2016, 2016/2017), and interviewed in the past 3 times: 2014/2015 (below average), 2015/2016 (average) and 2016/2017. This is my first time posting since before, I was so ashamed of putting my rejection results. Each rejection stung deeply yet was also a source of motivation - I worked on improving my GPA (it was 80.1% in 2012/2013 cycle, rewrote the MCAT (it was 9/7/8 for the 2013/2014 cycle), reworded my extracurriculars on my NAQ (increased it to a score of 38 for the 2014/2015 cycle), and changed my interview approach after each unsuccessful interview cycle. I know the frustration, depression, sadness, anger and all the emotions that come with this long journey, however I am willing to meet one-on-one with any applicant applying or reapplying to UBC for the 2017/2018 application cycle and help improve your application, especially if it's with increasing the NAQ score or improving the MMI interview. Having participated in 3 MMI cycles at UBC, I have a good idea on the kind of questions UBC asks. My NAQ scores also have been consistently between 30-38, increasing in each year of application so I also have a good feel on what UBC is looking for. DISCLAIMER: I will NOT be disclosing any MMI questions due to the confidentiality agreement however I am willing to work with you and give you NAQ writing/interview strategies and tricks to make your application stronger. Note also though that my approach is NOT the “only right” strategy or way to get in, however having gone through the UBC application 5 times, and each time getting a bit closer to being accepted, I would say I have some knowledge of what’s going on. PM for more details!
