For everyone from Ontario, do you think 11 or 8:45 would be better, given the 3 hour time difference? :x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RicardoKaká Posted December 15, 2016 Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 First time ever applying to UBC, didnt think I had any shot here but was encouraged by posters to apply. Forever indebted to the support i have received on these forums (those that have helped me know who they are ). Congrats everyone who received an invite, and best of luck to those next year that didn't. This is my 2nd time applying to medical schools and at times I thought I wouldnt have a chance, keep working at it and your time will come. TIME STAMP: Thursday December 15th 1:43 ESTInterview Invite: INVITED!!!Interview Date: Sunday Feb 05 AGPA (if applicable): 90.15% MCAT: Above cutoffsECs: Above average, as a MSc student I have held long term commitments. I have very unique ECs due to my MSc program in itself. PM me if you'd like more details. I really want to emphasis the importance that I think got me the interview: the hours of my ECs and how I described them. PM me if interested.

hopeful4UBC Posted December 15, 2016 Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 Curious:- Why do people love the 11 am slot so much? Is there a benefit to it. Ya, everyone on the 11am slot automatically gets a 50% increase to their score. Jk, i was wondering the same thing in my year (I think 11am is most popular every year) and i think it's a combination of these 2 things: -11am gives you enough time to get it over with early enough in the day, without having to wake up super early and rush to get there (if you're not a morning person) -as more and more people choose 11am, people (like yourself) start to think there's something beneficial about it, and it's just a self-perpetuating cycle. Congrats to everyone who got an email today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are invited to interview, they will only release AQ/NAQ scores for post-interview rejections. So, hopefully you will never find out about your scores!
