Post-interview feelings
JackSprat replied to Ss123toy's topic in University of British Columbia Medical School
My MCAT score was 511 with 126 CARS. I'm fine using that until it expires, although I know I can do better, I just got tired of studying and being stressed about MCAT. Getting on the waitlist was very reassuring, showing that essentially my application is good enough, and I'm hopeful that they'll take me this year assuming this year's interview went as well as I think it did. It is a huge mystery, and you just need to trust that the right people are getting in. Believe in yourself, continue improving, and try to be content to wait year by year and keep applying. Dig into things you are pa -
Post-interview feelings
JackSprat replied to Ss123toy's topic in University of British Columbia Medical School
Last year I felt I did well on the interview, and only had 1 or 2 stations that I would have tweaked my responses on, but even those I felt quite good about. I had no stations that I felt went poorly or even okay-ish. I made the waitlist and was rejected a month or 2 later (an extremely painful, emotionally taxing process to wait, hoping to be accepted in the wave each week). I ended up scoring above average, and had 75th-100th percentile NAQ, and an 85% adjusted GPA (fairly low/average for IP applicants). I think for me, being a fairly non-traditional applicant, the interview is a huge c -

IP, invite at 2:14PM. Relieved. Got an interview and was waitlisted last year before being painfully cut loose. Year before that I was rejected with no interview. Cautiously hopeful this year. A bit of a non-traditional applicant. Electrical Engineering BASC from UBC, currently working as a project manager in a Process engineering/automation/robotics role. Congratulations to all received, hang in there to all not. For me, it has gotten easier each year to settle with the idea of never getting in. Just try to enjoy life and find fulfillment where you are. It may not happen for you (or

Waitlist Party 2020
JackSprat replied to coffeeandmed's topic in University of British Columbia Medical School
I also just got regrets. I've been moping for the past few weeks but I actually do feel really good about my results too. My GPA could be higher at 84.6 but my interview was above average and my NAQ was in the 75-100 percentile. It's a little easier getting regrets now as I just found out that we have our second baby on the way! Congrats to everybody who got in and good luck to those who also got regrets. See you guys next cycle! -

Waitlist Party 2020

Yeah I'm probably being a little pessimistic because I just want it to be done already but I'm latching on to the fact that they didn't mention sending out a next round. -

Looks like this was the last round. Congratulations to those who got in! I didn't receive an invite, but I'm glad to have made it to the waitlist, as painful of an experience as it's been. Hopefully they shorten the list and put us out of our misery soon! -
Waitlist Party 2020

Wow, that was fast. Nothing for me. Being endlessly waitlisted is beyond brutal. Just when you're getting over last week's disappointment you get slapped again. -

I wasn't expecting invites to go out today! Nothing for me either. Pretty much lost hope for this year. -

According to last year's blog posts, the 3rd and subsequent rounds of offers were sent the day after each deadline, so it could definitely be today. -

Nothing for me either. I just need someone to post that they got it so I can let it go until next week.
