alrightythen Posted September 10, 2019 Report Share Posted September 10, 2019 Why would you look shady? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acceptmeplease Posted September 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2019 I shouldn’t. But I was just curious as to why so many verifiers were already being checked and if anyone was having the same thing happen! So paranoid that the changes I made this year won’t have been for the better aha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This might be different for those who submitted back in August. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acceptmeplease Posted September 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2019 yes i know, I submitted for early deadline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acceptmeplease Posted September 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2019 (I’ve been getting DMs about it from other early submitters who are also lowkey stressing already, which makes me feel better ahaha) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So paranoid that the changes I made this year won’t have been for the better aha Contacting verifiers takes an enormous amount of time/effort - I am sure it’s nothing more than UBC trying to get ahead of the nearly 2000 applications coming at them. I wouldn’t be surprised if they actually just go through them in the order they are submitted. bhaggy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bhaggy Posted September 13, 2019 Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 By email and 1 from employment and several from nonacademics, basically 1 from each category. Has anyone else had their verifiers contacted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty66 Posted September 17, 2019 Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 I got in last year and my verifiers were contacted literally a few days after I submitted my app. I wouldn't worry about it. I think they have a systematic way of going through the apps so don't read into it too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdpwns Posted September 17, 2019 Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 No sense stressing about it, no one here has any idea what it means. They could contact every single one of your verifiers or none. Your application is done, it is out of your hands, enjoy your life for the next few months. If you get an interview, do your prep, interview and then again, just wait. I saw so many people stressing about verifiers/ starting to worry about interviews they hadn’t even received yet last cycle. It’s not healthy to cause yourself so much stress when it isn’t needed. Not trying to be critical I just think it is important to separate ourselves from the process until we are required to be involved again.

mdpwns Posted September 22, 2019 Report Share Posted September 22, 2019 Can we just lock this thread for the sanity of applicants? I keep coming back and my message of just let it be and live your life has totally been disregarded! for those in the back who didn’t hear the first one: it doesn’t matter if you have had verifiers contacted or not or if someone has had 1 2 or 200. Everyone just relax we are all gunna be okay. Whether people are early deadline, regular deadline, submitted at 11:59am the day of it literally doesn’t matter. Save your stress and energy for interview day! peace and love guys just enjoy life! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can get tiring, just focus on you and hold on to that chill attitude :P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alrightythen Posted September 25, 2019 Report Share Posted September 25, 2019 Verifier just told me they got contacted by email (this was the most significant activity in my application). I'm not an early applicant. I wonder why they send emails to only specific verifiers instead of ALL verifiers? If they were calling then I understand, it would take forever. But an email seems so easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
