Oh okay well that's definitely new based on the info that was available on their website last year for interviews.

Is it bad that this is the first forum I check everyday and I'm OOP with (most likely) little prospect

Honestly same. I've accepted my fate as an OOP applicant.

Given the trend from previous years, if the first 'wave' has passed, the second wave of invites/regrets is probably a week out (i.e. next Wed/Thurs) 

maybe they're holding off on giving OOP invites (i.e. waitlisted or less spots if all IP accept the invite) because of the logistics of switching to an online interview format – they want to make sure they can handle completing synchronous interviews and then completing and actually reviewing any asynchronous components

MCAT: 510, GPA: 85%

EC: Not-for-profit volunteer experience (most activities are >3 years), music (>10,000 hours), multiple jobs in healthcare. Reference letters were from 2 professors from UBC and my boss at one of my jobs (family physician).

like @justamom said.... How high do these OOP stats have to be to get an interview  

[wegotthis 0]

Just got an OOP rejection as well: 87% GPA, 513 MCAT, pretty decent ECs and reference letters

maybe this is a bit random but could high stats actually disqualify ? They maybe assume you'd get multiple offers ?

I know this happens in the states, but I have never heard of this happening in Canada.
