I was also waitlisted back in 2015 and managed to come off it after lots of prayers! I think the movement on the waitlist is quite good...I would agree and guess that probably half the people on waitlist will get offers but can't say for sure... Thank you for sharing your experience!

Alimali Posted May 13, 2019 Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 stay positive folks, im an OOP student with an offer to UBC. I'm just waiting for OMSAS results to come out. Most likely, I will decline my UBC offer and free up a spot on the waitlist. I know a couple of other OOP friends in the same position, who are just waiting for OMSAS. almondmilklatte, bhaggy, DTK87 and 1 other 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jk_9 Posted May 13, 2019 Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 Does anyone know if the waitlist differentiates between IP/OOP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't differentiate, but often OOP are more likely to get in because 1) a higher percentage of accepted OOP people decline their offer, freeing up space within the 10% available OOP seats and 2) the OOP people on the waitlist tend to have stronger overall applications, otherwise they wouldn't have made the interview stage.

makeitraincouver Posted May 15, 2019 Report Share Posted May 15, 2019 Does anyone know that if UBC over accepts intially when they give out acceptances? Or is it 288 seat/acceptances and then those who decline, their position is offered to the waitlist applicants? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

display name Posted May 20, 2019 Report Share Posted May 20, 2019 Hanging in there. Just checking: has everyone replied to the waitlist poll? Link below. I'm curious what proportion of the waitlist pool the current number of votes (22) represents. bhaggy, UBC Enthusiast and almondmilklatte 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at the stats from UBC they say 38-40 are accepted off the WL for the past 3 years. Wish you all the best!
