Chances as an OOP Ontario Applicant

[Dr. Shqipe 164]

hey, I was just wondering if anyone could give me input on whether I'd be ok to apply to UBC this year as an Ontario applicant. I have a 512 on my most recent MCAT (128/126/128/130) and a 93.97% out of 95% GPA, and a bunch of diverse experiences. I read in a different post that there are people that can get in with a 503 in MCAT in previous years but I just want an opinion whether my 512 and 93.97% will give me a chance as an Ontario student.

Looking forwarding to reading your advice

Hey! Those are some outstanding stats. I got into UBC this year (off waitlist) with a 503 and my GPA was 93%. I am also from Ontario. I believe you definitely should apply as your chances are real good. Just focus on your entries early and writing them in a detailed manner. Feel free to message me if you need any advice/help!

Thank you so much, you're gem and CONGRATS for getting in! Proud of you  Does UBC value early applications (like does it matter if it's the first day it opens vs. a week or two after)?

Thanks for the kind wishes  I also admire your persistence (been following you on the Ottawa waitlist). Keep your head up, I am confident you will get multiple offers next year. 

No! The only advantage you get if you apply a month earlier (I believe early August deadline) is you find out about interviews 1 day earlier than everyone else (in my opinion not worth it). When I got my interview there was still so many time-slots available. It wasn't an issue at all.

Doesn't hurt to apply. The fee is less than $100. UBC also doesn't ask for reference letters until you receive an interview in the winter. You just have space to write a bit more in UBC's text boxes than OMSAS.
