Don't worry about it. They won't dock points just because they don't agree with your assessment of where an activity should go. I know someone who got in with several questionable things written into high performance IMO.

They specifically mention somewhere that your previous year's application is not considered while reviewing this year. Do not do this.

No one would know exactly how they assess time commitment unless you are on the admissions committee. I would think both are equally important, but I wouldn't wait just to have "long term" commitment before applying. Just do as many hours as you can reasonably do, and don't jump to new activities excessively. Keep accumulating hours even after you apply, so that you have an improved application by the next cycle as well.

I did it through the link that was provided at the Doctors of BC website for UBC

When I interviewed, the possible choices were split between 4 days (saturday/sunday for 2 weekends), with 4 time slots each day. No one knows how UBC will run the interviews if they are virtual. You'll have to wait for an announcement at the time you get an interview invite I presume.

What is your exact GPA? The minimum GPA to apply as OOP is 85%.

Oh that's strange, yes I'm at VFMP. It says this: Dear Class of 2024 students, Congratulations on being accepted into Medical School at UBC! My name is Byron and I am the program coordinator for your Family Practice component of Clinical Experiences. I am excited to meet and work with you. I am currently recruiting and matching preceptors for your first rotations at a Family Practice office. This will be an exciting learning time for all of you, where you will see and interact with real patients. Some of the doctors interested in teaching your class have language prefe

FYI everyone, check your UBC alumni email. We got our first email regarding family practice there!

That does make me feel a bit better, thank you.

I often find that these arguments claiming that systemic racism/discrimination don't exist are usually rooted in semantics. They are thinking that compared to decades ago when segregation and discrimination were essentially written into law, society nowadays has moved past those times. Thus, there is no "systemic" issue. Instead, they see it as the issue of individuals in our society. It's a similar thing for gun control - there are no bad guns, only bad people. In my opinion, it is just an excuse to take the onus off themselves to address these issues. The system extends far beyond the

While my heart goes out to those that are negatively affected by these changes, what is the fairest alternative? Even if you were able to get better grades despite your classes remaining difficult, how does admissions differentiate you from the many people who had inflated grades or even cheated? And if you retain all these grades, how do you address the disadvantages that face students at Alberta who had all their courses P/F, or the individuals who may have lost their only source of income to pay for tuition and rent? Perhaps the worst outcome is that those who successfully cheated are

UBC just released an update on their blog saying they will not be considering grades from term 2 of 2020. I've also noticed they changed the requirements for APGA. It seems that now as long as you have 90+ credits, you will get credits removed until 90 remain (ie. they will remove 10 credits if you have 100 credits completed).

Or someone has to withdraw at the last minute due to exceptional circumstances.

Hey, I know it can seem like the posters above are just trying to rain on your parade for the fun of it, but there is truth in what they are saying. I think it all depends on how you define "viable". You are correct that you are *eligible* to apply to those schools. If that is what you mean by viable, then fair enough. The main point being made above is that despite being eligible to apply (in other words your application will not be thrown out immediately), you are facing an extremely uphill battle and your chances are very slim. If slim is good enough to apply, then all the power to you

The only way to recover from this travesty is to ensure the next year gets the most hideous shade of NEON PINK
