shake-n-bake Posted October 14, 2020 Report Share Posted October 14, 2020 Last year mine were contacted like a week after my app. This year no one (that I know of) has. Have they started yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corgi321 Posted October 14, 2020 Report Share Posted October 14, 2020 Some of my verifiers have been contacted already so they've definitely started Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shake-n-bake Posted October 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2020 Okay thanks! I wonder if they contact less verifiers if an applicant already had tons contacted the previous year too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corgi321 Posted October 14, 2020 Report Share Posted October 14, 2020 I think it's completely random! Wouldn't look into it too much, as long as you had everything in by the deadline and met cutoffs you should be ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dust_Bucket Posted October 19, 2020 Report Share Posted October 19, 2020 Anybody ever been told that their activity entries were getting thrown out because they weren't able to get ahold of your verifiers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
who_knows Posted October 19, 2020 Report Share Posted October 19, 2020 Do you guys know if they contact by email first and then by phone or by phone right away? What kind of questions do they ask? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excel-erate Your Breath Posted October 19, 2020 Report Share Posted October 19, 2020 I try to stay off these forums during the "down-times" in an application season, i.e. outside of times where everyone is writing the app, or receiving interviews, or receiving acceptances. But! I thought this would need some clarification 21 hours ago, Dust_Bucket said: Anybody ever been told that their activity entries were getting thrown out because they weren't able to get ahold of your verifiers? UBC does not do this - they contact you for a different verifier 9 minutes ago, who_knows said: Do you guys know if they contact by email first and then by phone or by phone right away? What kind of questions do they ask? Email first, phone if they don't get an email response within a few days (probably maximum one week). They don't ask questions - they send your verifier your full activity description (everything except the verifier contact info because that'd be redundant) and the verifier has to type their full name into a submission box in order to confirm that the details sent to them by UBC are correct. For example, a verifier named John Gillywinkle would have to type "John Gillywinkle" into that submission box and the activity would then be considered verified who_knows 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyavwen Posted October 21, 2020 Report Share Posted October 21, 2020 For the people who had their verifiers already contacted did you submit by the early deadline? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not me. I submitted approx a week before the deadline. I’ve had more verifiers contacted then ever before, not sure what to think about that!
