keolpets Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 Hey guys!! Just wanted to post my stats for reference. Result: INVITE Time Stamp: 9:20 AM (and a second email at 9:39.... lol) wGPA/cGPA: 3.97 wGPA Year: 4th year UG MCAT: 516 (126 CARS) <--- THAT RIGHT 126 CARS! So it is possible! ECs: not good enough for OOP UBC invite. Long-term and interesting work, leadership volunteering, marathon, dance, NSERC, one pub Geography:IP So I can confirm... they are inviting 126 CARS this year. Hope this helps anyone for future reference! BTW my interview invite went into my spam folder for some reason, so if you haven't gotten anything be sure to check there. GOODLUCK to everyone who got an interview! Edit: I just wanted to add too that last year I got 509 with 128 CARS, so they may have used that MCAT. I'm not too sure!

I also got the email twice (not sure if anyone else that happened too). I got two as well (and promotional section). Question for people who got interviews - when they say that the password is DOB, does anyone know the format? (DDMMYYYY)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my third year applying (9 rejections, 1 interview), and with nothing changing, I received 4 interviews this year. I have absolutely no idea what the process is, but seriously do not give up. There is such volatility in each application year that I have decided there is no predicting each cycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
