I know it's a long shot but I hope there's a little more movement before the summer is over... Still on waitlist here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fast_Layne Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 This is a total guess here, but I think maybe the waitlist shortening happens once all the seats are filled, and they're just waiting for graduate students to submit their proof of completion? The deadline is end of July... so maybe there'll be more news about waitlist movement after the deadline. But yeah, this is 100% a guess.

abc9 Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 I got an offer today to move from SMP to my first choice VFMP, which I will be accepting. My deadline to accept is next Tuesday, so hopefully someone here will get good news today or next week! If anyone here is coming to SMP and needs an apartment, I'm trying to find someone to do a lease takeover for my rental in Kelowna, so please feel free to shoot me a PM! happibean and Dr. Tenma 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this mean that there are a portion of graduate students that are unable to complete their degree on-time and then have their offer revoked as a result? abc9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's relatively rare (like, maybe no more than 3-4 people)? But it does happen, grad school doesn't always go uniformly, especially w the current COVID stuff going on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or they defer - new illness in the family, pregnancy, etc. Or they get into another school they were on the waitlist for that they prefer, and they decide they’re ok with losing their deposit.

Pterygoid Posted August 26, 2020 Report Share Posted August 26, 2020 well... it looks like someone was admitted with a history of unprofessional conduct (https://www.**DELETED**.com/r/UBC/comments/ig48w7/incoming_ubc_medicine_student_with_history_of/) Im not sure if UBC Med is/was aware. **Edit there's rumors going around that they'll be removed from the program. However, nothing official. frenchpress 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghimbo Posted August 26, 2020 Report Share Posted August 26, 2020 I am still "waitlisted". Finally got the motivation to start a new application today. I was actually just wondering when they might release our AQ and NAQ marks. But now this sliver of hope comes along... best not to get my hopes up and start emailing verifiers tomorrow. jk_9 and Fast_Layne 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best of luck with your application!! The fact that you were so high on the waitlist is really encouraging Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sphw4 Posted August 26, 2020 Report Share Posted August 26, 2020 I’m still on the waitlist. Hopefully we’ll get some news later this week. I’m also planning on starting my application for the next cycle soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
