HongHongHong Posted May 9, 2020 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 To all those with an interview, it's not a matter of if you get in, but when. Just a reminder to my fellow applicants who are waiting for UBC results to come out. UBC does not send interview invitations to people they wouldn't consider accepting. For people who didn't receive an interview this year, I was in your shoes for several years: you've just gotta keep working at it. There are plenty of anecdotal examples floating around on the forum of people with below average GPAs/MCATs/etc getting in, and of cases where people are rejected with above average interviews/GPAs/MCATs/etc. One friend of mine was rejected with an above average interview one year and accepted the following year, even though the rest of their application remained unchanged (aside from increased hours due to the added year). ---- With that in mind, I'm definitely quite nervous about the upcoming results, so I'm interested to see what others are worried about. Please share what you're nervous about (& reassured by?). I'll go first, and will be formatting mine based on that "panic - calm - panic" meme template, which is a bit more interesting to read.

mdpwns Posted May 9, 2020 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 I’m nervous because this is my fourth application, second interview, and my mcat is expiring. I don’t have it in me I don’t think to write it again. So this is it for me. I hope they look at that and consider how many times I’ve applied when deciding who to take. bhaggy, HongHongHong, Marf1225 and 2 others 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HongHongHong Posted May 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 Panik: Felt bad coming out of the interviewKalm: Remember that I'm good at interviews and speaking to people: Realise that everyone's good at interviews and speaking to people Seriously though, I did so many of those MMI practice sessions with friends...

I'm going to be in a similar situation to you if I don't make it in this year. I hope it goes well for you! (Or, if it doesn't, that you find it in yourself to continue trying – or find solace in knowing that you tried your hardest, and that's something to be proud of, even if med school admissions doesn't see that.) mdpwns 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it goes well for you too! Here’s to hoping that section where you tick off how many times you have applied pays off and they factor it in bhaggy and HongHongHong 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blinkingprinterlight Posted May 9, 2020 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 Panik: Had a dream that we would hear about admissions on May 40th. Kalm: Woke up, and recognized that date does not exist. Also then we got the actual d-day email. : Realized that notifications from the waitlist would extend further than a hypothetical May 40th...
