apple_med Posted May 11, 2018 Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 Who else is in the Waitlist boat? I was happy not to receive a rejection but not sure what to think about this! Anyone have any success stories? In-province here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SandraC2017 Posted May 11, 2018 Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 Does anyone know how many waitlist emails are sent out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Font123 Posted May 11, 2018 Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 ~80 WL offers ~23 individuals off the WL are offered a spot.. so slightly over 25% of getting off the WL. But my speculations might be completely off!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesigh2 Posted May 11, 2018 Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 How do you know there are 80 offers? As well, it looks like about 43 people declined their offer last year per the admission statistics which would mean about that many will get off of the waitlist?

Yeah I’m assuming about that many would get off the waitlist! Hopefully they wouldn’t over offer. What a weird position to be in on a Waitlist. I figured either a rejection or acceptance, didn’t think about waitlist! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year according to the document linked below, 311 offers were made. That would be at most 23 offers from the waitlist. 80 is a guess I believe (the poster used the word "speculation" explicitly), based on a multiplication of how much movement of the waitlist there was. Like UBC would want to safely have enough waitlisters (because you wouldn't want to contact a rejected person, that would be sort of bad form, so they make the waitlist big enough to feel safe they won't run out, but not so big it's unwieldy or misleading?... this part is all speculation).

Hm, I can't find any info on declined offers in the stats from last year. Is this the document you're looking at? ::: http://mdprogram.med.ubc.ca/files/2017/10/FINAL-MED-2021-Admissions-Statistics-website.pdf EDIT: I found it, I don't know how I missed it.

BoardManGetsPaid Posted May 12, 2018 Report Share Posted May 12, 2018 last year for oop, 81 students were interviewed and 28 did not receive offers (since 29 enrolled while 24 declined their offer). Those 28 students should include those who were: rejected, waitlisted, took their name off the waitlist in favour of another school. I don't exactly know how many got off the waitlist for oop, but i speculate between 20-30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Persephone Posted May 12, 2018 Report Share Posted May 12, 2018 I guess that document everyone is citing (and that I posted further up thread) is totally inaccurate then. Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right on the last page! Yes. So if you look over the last few years, it is typically 30-40 declined offers. I assume that if there are offers, there are spots, and therefore would equal the number of waitlist movement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know they don't shorten the waitlist until all the spots have been filled. They keep a very short waitlist in case any one withdraws their acceptance in late summer. That's what last year's UBC Med blog said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
