rainy Posted September 30, 2020 Report Share Posted September 30, 2020 I have seen some posts here indicating that UBC has started contacting verifiers. If someone's verifiers are not contacted, does that mean anything negative? Does UBC contact verifiers for sure or there are cases where verifiers were not contacted at all but interview invitation came through? Please advise.

The first time I applied, a bunch of my verifiers were contacted. The second time I applied (and was accepted), almost no one was contacted to my knowledge. I don't know the rhyme or reason but this isn't something to stress over It is also super early in the cycle, so I'm sure there are applications they haven't looked at yet, and therefore haven't contacted verifiers yet.

rainy Posted September 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2020 Thank you guys for replying I got a bit worried. May be one of my verifiers has been contacted, I dont know. I met early application deadline. I am 4th year B.Sc. student (IP) with 91.5% including winter session after 3 years and 90.5% excluding winter session and MCAT 515. Most of my verifiers have organizational emails except for a couple with gmail. I guess it is a waiting game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frenchpress Posted September 30, 2020 Report Share Posted September 30, 2020 I think only 2 of like two dozen verifiers on my application were contacted and I was admitted first try. Don’t overthink it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furthermore with stats like this your chances of getting in are above 50% already - you don't need to blow NAQ out of the water! Don't stress too much you got this fingers crossed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marsaturn20 Posted September 30, 2020 Report Share Posted September 30, 2020 Do you guys know if UBC only contacts verifiers after meeting the GPA/MCAT requirements. I’m still waiting for my mcat scores back and I already submitted my application and none of verifiers have been contacted. TYSM! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainy Posted September 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2020 I have one more question: I applied to Ontario schools also. I noticed that in the completed application, one of my referee's address is not shown, but for the other two references addresses are also shown. I was not sure why it does not show. As far as I remember, without the complete information the request could not be delivered. In my sketches, the address is given. I contacted OMSAS and they said that the refree can update information even after submission but were not clear to indicate how. Is it done through the "reset link"? or do we really need to do anything? They I heard that they are usually contacted through emails. It is a fairly large company and also also has a website.

It's a black box but to give some perspective from the first time I applied, I had a 95% cGPA and my NAQ was super low at 17, but I got an interview.

rainy Posted October 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2020 Hi If you don’t mind sharing some information. What was your academic score? I believe cut off for interview is around 52. Was it around 35? Is there a formula they use to calculate? Also, what did you change in your application from the previous year to get accepted? Sorry for a lot of questions. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of my verifiers were contacted before I released my MCAT score, and some were contacted after. marsaturn20 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
