It should show up next to the application tab on the top bar where it lists profile, home, application, application status etc.

Well thats a wrap! Congrats to everyone that got an invite. To those that didn't... it sucks, I know how you feel. Be kind to yourself, enjoy your holidays, and take care.

IP, invite at 2:14PM.

Relieved. Got an interview and was waitlisted last year before being painfully cut loose. Year before that I was rejected with no interview. Cautiously hopeful this year. A bit of a non-traditional applicant. Electrical Engineering BASC from UBC, currently working as a project manager in a Process engineering/automation/robotics role.

Congratulations to all received, hang in there to all not. For me, it has gotten easier each year to settle with the idea of never getting in. Just try to enjoy life and find fulfillment where you are. It may not happen for you (or me), but we aren't defined by this potential profession. There is much more to life (and more important things) than becoming a doctor.

Congratulations to everyone who got an invite!! I am so happy for you all I have a late alphabet last name so I've pretty much been rejected at this point. On the bright side, I'm still in 3rd year so I'm excited to have a good final year of undergrad (hopefully with less COVID!). Plus I'm interested to see my NAQ score. If you got rejected too, keep your head up! We will make it to the other side eventually! Best of luck for interviews everyone!!

Result (i.e. invite or regrets): Invite (Regular Deadline)
GPA/AGPA (i.e. whichever is applicable): GPA 89-90
MCAT (i.e. total score and breakdown in the order of CP/CARS/BB/PS): 510 (130/126/128/126)
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): My ECs are extremely research heavy. I have research-focused MSc from UBC and already started working for more than a year in a pharmaceutical company. One 1st author and one 2nd author papers, multiple co-authored papers. Some poster presentations in national and international conferences. Many awards. Volunteering experience is my weakest. I volunteered in a thrift store for 2 years (just ~200 hours) and am a volutneer responder in a crisis helpline. Also doing some volutneer work for sick kids right now. Overall, my volunteer hours are definitely not as high as others but I guess my research experience has saved me. This is my 1st try at UBC and blessed to be invited.
