JohnGrisham Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 There's shuttles that take you from UBC to VGH (the main hospital you'll be at) too I've heard Just for med students? Haha that's great. Who needs the 99 which would take an extra...5-10 minutes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleming Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 There's shuttles that take you from UBC to VGH (the main hospital you'll be at) too I've heard There are also inter-hospital shuttles between St. Paul's, VGH, and Children's/Women's, so it's not a big issue getting around.

JohnGrisham Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 That comment got hopes up for an early release....I wonder if they will send out an email making a stance on if they will keep the May 15th date or announce a new date? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

med-dream Posted April 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Would it be greedy If i was hoping for some form of email update today? Most Ontario schools stay on May 12th. Does it mean they will still accept old MCAT in next application cycle? If yes, UBC may pick May 12th possibly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If yes, UBC may pick May 12th possibly. Almost all other schools continue to accept the old MCAT. With Ontario schools releasing the offers on/around May 13th, I don't think UBC is going to change their date significantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If yes, UBC may pick May 12th possibly. I think that is a likely scenario. But perhaps they also may realize they have a sizeable cohort of Alberta students who interviewed with them? I know at my interview day there were 3 (1 of which was IP both here and in Alberta). All speculation though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow_knight Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 3 more weeks, or hopefully less... I try not to think about it, which makes me think about it more, then settle for the "whatever" attitude. I just dont want to be at work when the decisions come out because either way i'm gonna shed some tears. The tentative status of May 15th is not helping me ask for a day off.

StayHappy Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 I went through this wait two years in a row guys, and now finally I don't have to worry about if I get in or not.

StayHappy Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 It's very hard to Stay Happy .... Congrats on your acceptance.. hard work pays off !! Thank you, It does . I am at the point now where I wondered why I stressed so much (probably took years off my life) the past few years. If you guys can get interviews you will eventually get in SOMEWHERE. I will save a sappy post for May 15th (whether I get in or not at UBC) because what I have taken away from all of this is that it seems different schools value different personalities and you can tell when you do the interview. I will expand on this closer to the decision date to help some people who are in the position I was for the past few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

med-dream Posted April 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 That is so nice of UofC! It allows the applicants having enough time to make the decision, especially to those who have multiple offers. On the other hand, their waitlist won't move until then, that is painful to the waitlisters. Maybe that is why UBC prefers to release the result later. No I did not haha I have until May 29th I believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, their waitlist won't move until then, that is painful to the waitlisters. Maybe that is why UBC prefers to release the result later. As the waitlisters don't actually have to wait longer (I mean they have the same amount of time between an offer and class starting), it doesn't really make sense to wait to protect the feelings of a minority. I don't mean that to sound cruel, really, but feelings are not what admissions are worried about haha. Besides, if more schools released early, more people would get in to their top choice and reject their other offers, and the wait lists would move, even before the deadline. Not going to happen on a big enough scale this year, but perhaps there is hope for the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
