astudent Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 Gotcha. Looks like the number of declines has been dropping for the past three years. Only 27 declines last year. All the best to the other waitlisted. Where do you see how many declines there have been? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astudent Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 Thx! Wow, only 7 IP declined offers? That means the IP waitlist has extremely low chances?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amichel Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 That 2012 list would have moved pretty quickly. Go back a few years. In 2009, only 33 declined. Not sure it's a trend, so I wouldn't write yourself off yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astudent Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 Are there 2 separate waitlists for IP and OOP, so they don't affect each other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caleb Dusdal Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 I'm pretty sure they had clarified that it was one list in a previous blog post. Hunting for it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astudent Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 I wish they had stats on what % of applicants get in off the waitlist. That would be useful to see, but I can't seem to find actual stats on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caleb Dusdal Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 Admissions Blog April 25, 2012 "Out of the 288 spaces, up to 10% (29) can go to out-of-province applicants. Because it’s ‘up to’ 29 spaces, not ‘exactly’ 29 spaces that are reserved for OOP residents, we don’t have a separate waitlist for them and we don’t always replace one OOP with another OOP – we go down the list and fill spots based on the list order, making sure we don’t exceed 29 OOP spaces. There are usually quite a few highly-ranked OOP applicants so OOP declines do tend to be filled by other OOP applicants, but it really depends on how the list falls." http://mdprogram.med...s-blog/page/14/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fleming Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 Woo! Congrats everybody! Really sorry to hear about the rejections, and hang in there wait listers. You guys are all great people and whether it's this year or a future cycle, I have no doubt you'll each achieve success. To my future UBC 2019ers, I can't wait to meet you all!

toastedbread Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 SMP, 2nd choice. How does the waitlist work? It says accepting my offer to SMP is binding to SMP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qszwdxefc Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 SMP, 2nd choice. How does the waitlist work? It says accepting my offer to SMP is binding to SMP. Don't quote me on this but I believe there is some sort of internal waitlist movement before they release acceptances to the next batch of waitlisters. So I think you're on the waitlist for your 1st choice but at the end of the day it is a waitlist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B3.572A Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 Life is cruel. At least this year I didn't get waitlisted. Last year they strung me along all summer. I feel so sorry for you. Yesterday I was reading the final waitlist thread last year, and thought you would for sure be accepted this year. I wish the best of luck if you decide to reapply.

And I had another above-average interview. Seems so unfair. Life can be cruel sometimes, but it can also be beautiful. One of these days you will reach your goal and the struggle will make you appreciate it even more. I know it's not easy to hear that when going through this process. Sorry about your news.
