JohnGrisham Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 TIME STAMP: 2:22pm EST Interview Invite: Regret Early/Regular Deadline:Regular Interview Date:N/A obvs GPA: No idea AGPA (if applicable): 84.6***** MCAT: PS/VR/BS/WS 129/127/129/128 ECs: Don't matter I guess Year: BA (UofA), BSc (UBC), Currently MSC (UofT) Geography: OOP NAQ (if applicable):n/a AQ (if applicable):n/a ***I did not get a full file review. I applied to UBC because I am from British Columbia (born and raised), but because I am a mature student and have lived a rather complex life, I don't have a BC care card anymore. So, I missed the OOP cutoff by 0.4%, I thought I would apply though, because moving home has been my goal. sent them a letter explaining why I don't have BC health care, and of the 10 years I have lived outside of BC, 7 have been as a full time student. Seems to have made no difference though. You should get your health card back, you would be much better off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnGrisham Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 General question about cut-offs, does anyone know why Canada has different GPAs for in vs out of province? I see no other country doing that. USA will have schools which limit spots for out of state and a small number of schools might say no to out of state all together, but most schools have the same requirements for all applicants. Is this really to attract people to stay in province ? or do they think academics in BC are lacking? some sort of comparison to other standardized tests in high school?? just curious It is essentially the same thing - the cut-off varies IP and OOP, to get the number of interviews they want. That is exactly what US schools that are state funded do, they have a set number of out-of-state seats, and the requirements are higher. It is simply a way to make a cut-off to get teh right number of interviewees. Nothing else that you are implying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
