Does this make sense to anyone? If my NAQ is in the top bracket and so is my GPA, shouldn't I be above the cutoff?

Same thing here. I am an OOP applicant:

526 MCAT, 96 average 75-100 percentile NAQ and just got R at 2:57 PM PST. I am just barely over the IP cutoff as well.

I think there is some mistake ...I have a high GPA and 75-100 percentile NAQ as well for OOP, but was midway between BCC cutoff and OOP cutoff

I had a 92.somth and a 25th to 50th percentile ec last year and I was about 1/3 of the way past the ip cutoff toward the oop line last year, in case that helps for reference? Idk if the pool is more competitive this year

[ahungrycynic]

Confused as well... OOP with 93.4% aGPA and 75-100% NAQ score, but it shows me below the BC applicant cut off.

Anyone else receive absolutely nothing still? I’m IP. This receiving absolutely nothing is the ultimate blow.. maybe my app was lost? Ha

I’m in the same position. I think they’ve gotta send out the regrets in waves, but they don’t seem to be following alpha order bc I would be one of the first to receive then 

[Serotonindeficient]

Rejected OOP here: 93.97 gpa and 75-100 NAQ. I Would Like To Know. How Do I Improve. what more do they want 

edit: it was 0-25 naq lol<3

[nothingbutmed]

Now it says try again after 6pm

[Sarahread460]

All OOP rejects seem to have 75-100 NAQ, do you think they made a mistake reporting it?

[LMITC]

This is insane, how can so many OOP applicants with first rank AQ and NAQ score getting rejected (not just one or two)? Is there something wrong this year?

[greysweater]

Does anyone know how to use inspect element to see what the OOP cutoff is? Just got rejected with a 75-100th percentile NAQ.

Edit: Very close to the OOP cut off line if that helps.

[marker_34]

Has anyone had any luck contacting UBC by email or phone ? The line for my result is above the cutoff, but it said R when I checked OAS.

[EnigmaticAvocado]

Hi Everyone, here is a mini guide on how to use Inspect Elements:

1. Press F12 to open Inspect Elements

2. Find line of code that reads <div id="ctl100_content_main_pnl_tfr"> and press the > arrow on the left-hand side to open the drop down, or use "Pick and Element from the Page" tool on the left-hand most side of the Inspect Elements bar and click the area that has the slider bar.

3. Find the drop down menu within this drop down (line of code starts with <div id="slider" class="ui-slider ... etc.)

4. You will see 5 slider values. The first will be 0, second will be your score out of 100, third will be 53 (IP cut off), fourth will be 63 (OOP cut off), and the last will be 100.

Hope you all either a) improved from last year, or b) have found areas to work on your apps. Cheers!

Finally got onto OAS and it says Regrets (OOP)

aGPA = 87.02%

NAQ = 75-100th percentile 

 

[marker_34]

 

 

I'm very confused. According to inspect element my result is above the 53 cutoff and I'm IP? 

[wmj2014]

IP rejected

I also got 75-100 percentile NAQ, which is weirdly high. My own estimation based on past postings from others is anywhere between 0-50 percentile. 

Is it possible that UBC made mistakes on this NAQ data entry? 

[justhoping]

I haven't even been able to get into the application status tab on OAS for the past hour. I just want to see it at this point lol any idea when it will stop crashing?

Also seeing some insane results - stuff isn't adding up based on people getting Rs with their scores ... idk

[stressssed]

Just wanted to post my stats! 

IP: Regrets 

GPA= 80.29% (Don't qualify for aGPA this year)

NAQ score= 75th-100th Percentile

 I had already knew that my GPA was a bit on the lower side so I'm definitely looking forward to that being improved when my first year is dropped! Congratulations to everyone who received and interview! 

[corgi321]

Is there some sort of error with the NAQ reporting? I don't see how EVERYONE who got regrets is 75-100th percentile, not to mention my result bar looks to be way below the IP cutoff (even tho my GPA was around the IP average) so idk what's going on

[PeanutButter1]

Agreed I bet there’s a mistake. Not everyone can have 75-100 percentile. That’s just odd. Still no email or accessibility to oas on my end. 
 

i just want to get in to see my stats but not sure to trust them even if I do get into the OAS somehow.

Ah I can't believe it!! I applied two years ago and got regrets so just so grateful to have made it this far. I didn't think I would ever be competitive enough to get into med as I was well below the cutoff when I applied two years ago - for people who got the R this year, I know how much it sucks but honestly, I have had some of the coolest opportunities in these two years, so highly recommend doing something you really want to do while you apply again so you enjoy the process 

[dusah]

I applied last year and received an NAQ of 25-50th percentile, applied again this year without adding a significant number of ECs (maybe 1/2 short term) and received an NAQ of 75-100%. There must be a mistake lol

I'm a somewhat non-trad applicant and I was so intimidated by premed students in the past; but you have all been so supportive and compassionate on this forum! Congrats to all who got interviews and best of luck to those who haven't heard

Time Stamp (i.e. include date and time): Dec 18, 9:23AM
Result (i.e. invite or regrets): Invite
GPA/AGPA (i.e. whichever is applicable): Not sure, can't get in to OAS to see. Non Traditional with a few bad grades (1 C and 2 Fs) from random distance courses from ~10 yrs ago.. However currently in 4th yr of undergrad with all grades ≥89%
MCAT (i.e. total score and breakdown in the order of CP/CARS/BB/PS): 514 - don't remember. But I remember CARS was 126 - both BB and CARS were my best sections in practice and my lowest sections in the real thing...

ECs (i.e. brief rundown of Research Pubs/Presentations, Awards, Employment, and Non-Academic Activities - also Rural stuff if you want/if it applies): No research; No pubs; Long-term volunteering in a care-home, the local food-bank, as well as some other unique long-term volunteer activities.. Lots of unique work experience with lots of leadership involved. Lived and worked rurally my entire life. Extensive hobbies and interests. I am so shocked and definitely feel there is a certain amount of luck in this process. I did not think I was getting an interview this year. I already signed up to retake the MCAT and applied to my back-up Masters programs. First time applying and I definitely believe my rural suitability is what pulled me through.

my application status has disappeared.

Time Stamp: 4:35pm December 18th

Result: Regrets

GPA/AGPA: 84.8% (not eligible for AGPA)

MCAT: 509 (129/125/128/127)

Geography: IP

ECs: No research, semi-generic awards, lots of meaningful employment from high school, fundraising board executive in high school, hospital volunteering, first aid attendant, volunteer for a university service, travel, hobbies, random interests. No rural experience. Most were quite long term, 1-2 years at least.

NAQ Range: 75th-100th

Your Result: 44

I agree with what is being said. Its odd that everyone who has posted so far is within 75th-100th NAQ. If it's an error, I guess we won't know until monday. Could someone please share if they have any result other than 75th-100th?
