Just a slight correction: there were 2869 applicants so the percent invited is ~24%

Oh hmm, it may be possible it's by last name. My friend (who also received an invite) and I both have last names that start with C.

IP: Got invite too! Time Stamp (i.e. include date and time): 10:17AM PDT Result (i.e. invite or regrets): Invite ^^ GPA/AGPA (i.e. whichever is applicable): 88% MCAT (i.e. total score and breakdown in the order of CP/CARS/BB/PS): 131/132/130/132 (525) Geography (i.e. IP or OOP): IP ECs (i.e. brief rundown of Research Pubs/Presentations, Awards, Employment, and Non-Academic Activities - also Rural stuff if you want/if it applies): Long-term research (no pubs), many leadership positions in community and school, employment in health care, a few community service related awards.

My theory is that because this year's interview results are released later but the interviews will still take place around the same time of the year, UBC may have sent offers first to give interviewees enough time to schedule their interview date.
