With 40ish spots, does that mean every wave after the first one would only have a couple offers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoxy Posted April 6, 2021 Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 25 minutes ago, idkbro said: We don't! From a speculative view, about 40ish spots This data is in UBC's published admission stats. There's far more wait list movement for OOP applicants. Only 7 IP candidates turned down a seat in 2020. It was higher in previous years and is usually around 20. For OOP, usually 25-30 people turn down their offers. You can find the data on the last page of UBC's admission stats: https://med-fom-ugrad.sites.olt.ubc.ca/files/2021/03/Statistics-2019-2020-MED2024-Website-1.pdf idkbro, Darce and Bumblegum 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
struggling2getin Posted April 7, 2021 Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 What have the social events this year been like? Not asking in any snarky way- curious about what your class has been doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not asking in any snarky way- curious about what your class has been doing. For the class as a whole, mostly virtual and not as many events as your class had. At my site, we've had a lot of virtual (and some socially distanced) events with great turnout. With summer around the corner and hopefully if things get better, looking to go on some trips with a few of my classmates struggling2getin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(just me feeling neurotic about my interviews lol Not the original posters (I am exam free and they aren't yet) but here is a response I wrote in another thread. On 2/9/2021 at 2:52 PM, struggling2getin said: Felt like garbage after I did mine. In one station, the interviewer asked me a question and my brain had a complete fart about what one term meant so I asked him to repeat the question 3 times, then on the third time the bell rang and I just sat there in regret. In another, I got super intimidated by the interviewer for some reason and they were quite stone faced so I gave pretty bad and like one sentence responses to a complicated question. Then we just sat there after he had nothing more to ask. Finally, in another station, I spent all 8 minutes on the main question and literally concluded with "I need more info" as the bell rang. I really don't know how I got in- I wasn't waitlisted either. I'll see myself out of this AMA now Fast_Layne and itski 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
