Ubc Ot 2015

How long do you have to accept/confirm the interview?

We have until Feb. 25th!

[ubcOThopeful]

There goes that theory that they would have two waves to see how many would reject at beginning.

[OT2015-]

Still haven't heard!!!! I'm so anxious!

[abc123zxc]

Just for your guy's information, they offered ~120 spots again this year.

[ubcOThopeful]

Offered - past tense lol... Does that mean everyone who hasn't received an offer yet is not accepted?

[OT2015-]

Just for your guy's information, they offered ~120 spots again this year.

Awesome!! How did you find that out?

[Littlelionwoman]

They're still emailing people, apparently. Everyone should know one way or another by mid-next week.

[ubcOThopeful]

Fyi.

 

Just called and asked about notifications.

 

Lady said more than likely all notifications will be sent by mid next week

[OT2015-]

Fyi.

 

Just called and asked about notifications.

 

Lady said more than likely all notifications will be sent by mid next week

Aren't we all supposed to know by today? The wait is killing me !!!

[ot_hopeful99]

Does anyone know how many applications they received this year?

[ubcOThopeful]

They changed website from 20th to the 24th.

[hey_you]

They changed website from 20th to the 24th.

Thank you so much for sharing! I thought I was the only one who hasn't heard back yet 

 

Best of luck

Has anyone received notifications between Wednesday and now? From what I can gather, the only interviews were sent out on Wednesday thus far. 

[OT2015-]

Here we go again !! Officially checking my email every 5 minutes

[OT2015-]

Has anyone heard today ? I feel like I've aged ten years during this whole process - how much longer can one possibly wait ! Ah !!

[ubcOThopeful]

No word here either

[OT17]

Me either. Probably isn't good though lol. I'm just waiting for the rejection tomorrow.

[ubcOThopeful]

What are your guys averages?

[OT17]

My average for upper level is 81.5%. It's on the lower end but I'm hoping my experience will make a difference. 

[hey_you]

I haven't heard back either. My average is 83% (I am from UVic, so the grading scale is different, but definitely a B+).

I am also hoping my experience makes the difference. I submitted 300 volunteer hours 

[OT17]

Well lets hope for the best. I submitted 700 hours for my work experience and I have worked with two different OTs. Goodluck! Let me know either way.

[ubcOThopeful]

Yeah same here my average is 81.8 so basically 82 lol....

I have 2000+ hours because I work as a residential care worker with individuals with developmental disabilities, and have volunteered with an OT however im not sure if they even look at that I think it's all about GPA for the interviews which I find is frustrating because I believe personality is so important for OTs!!!

 

It's not over until it's over though....

If I don't get in I will apply a third time next year lol after retaking a couple courses, how about you guys?

[ot_hopeful99]

It's definitely not just about GPA. I was not given an interview last year even though I had an 82 average. I was told my references were not strong enough. I basically changed every single thing in my application including taking more classes to bump my GPA up to 83.

[OT2015-]

Not me this year just got my email. Best of luck to all of you !!

[hey_you]

I got rejected too
