physiohopeful Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 Hi Everyone, I just received my MMI invite for UBC's MPT program! I was wondering if anyone had any advice for UBC's MMI? (best ways to prepare, areas to focus on in preparation, etc.) Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmilyPT Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 Congrats! I received mine today too - woo! I don't have any advice since this will be my first experience with UBC's MMI, but I've seen this post linked in the past as a place to start for info and prep resources (I haven't read through it myself yet but it seems to be pretty comprehensive): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purpleturtle Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 Hi! Thanks for starting this thread! I'm a long-time lurker, first time posting. Got my interview invite today too! I noticed that in past years many people had get-togethers to practice. Let me know if anyone wants to meet up to practice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delta2017 Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 I also just received my interview invite! I am definitely interested in getting together to practice if anyone near me is also interested! I live in Langley but work in Surrey so I can meet up in either of those locations.

Hey, that's a great idea! I live in Vancouver too. If UBC is a convenient location for everyone, I can book a study room for us to practice. I don't mind going to another more central location either. Let me know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PT2B Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 Congratulations on the invites! Unfortunately I did not receive one. Do you mind sharing with me what your prereq+ last 10 averages were? I had an 88% and 84%. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My school only has letter grades, so depending on how UBC converted it my average percentage could be anywhere from ~84-87%. Hope that helps!

However, they are starting to look more into work/extra-curricular/volunteer/research experience a lot more it seems like. Something to consider if you plan on applying again in the future! My UL - 90.7% and Pre-req - 89.4%. I hope that helps! Best of luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mind sharing with me what your prereq+ last 10 averages were? I had an 88% and 84%. Thanks Hello PT2B, Are you an in province applicant or OOP? I am in province and last year I found myself in the same boat, I thought I was set for an interview but didn't get one, I am sorry that you're going through it now, I know that it doesn't feel too great Sometimes it just seems like luck whether you get an interview or not. But don't give up. I spent the year getting more volunteer experience, and trying my best to boost my GPA. A gap year isn't the worst thing. I thought it was at first, but turned out to be the best thing for me. Hope this helps a little bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

physiowannabe Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 Congrats to all of you interviewees. Good luck with them I didn't get one (again!) Despite similar gpa and lots of relevant work and volunteer experience. Anyone know how the gpa is "weighted" as I am trying to decide next steps.

It was my first time applying though. What was your GPA, if you don't mind me asking? I would think they'd weigh Anatomy & Physiology more than any other, but I'm not infallible. Just my guess.

physiowannabe Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 Prereq average was 89 and last 30 credits was 86.7. I have several years in kin work and lots of volunteer experience. But I did bad in CAPS 301 a couple of years back and I am wondering if that's a problem..(not part of this gpa though) .no-one will give feedback so it's tuf to know what next!
