UBC MD Interview Invites/Regrets Thread - 2020/21


Recommended Posts

Time Stamp (i.e. include date and time): 10:17 am Dec 18
Result (i.e. invite or regrets): invite
GPA/AGPA (i.e. whichever is applicable): Around 80-81, I finally qualified for adjusted gpa this year.. agpa in previous years was around 79
MCAT (i.e. total score and breakdown in the order of CP/CARS/BB/PS): 511, Cars 124

Geography (i.e. IP or OOP): IP
ECs (i.e. brief rundown of Research Pubs/Presentations, Awards, Employment, and Non-Academic Activities - also Rural stuff if you want/if it applies): Teacher, lots of hobbies and day to day life stuff (taking care of sick grandparents) and typical pre-med volunteering- hospital, non-profit, soup kitceh
NAQ Range (i.e. what quartile you fell in): last year i was in the 75th-100th percentile, and high 30s the year before 
Your Result (i.e. relative to interview cutoff): Just made the cut off in 2018, no interview in 2019- I was about 2-3 points below when I did the element inspection so I am assuming I'm just around the cut off this year. 

I am a non-trad applicant. I was waitlisted in the 2018-2019 cycle and received no interview last year (2019-2020). I was in tears upon receiving the offer today and hope things go well.

Edit to say I interviewed at UBC and another school last year. Did not get accepted after interviews.
