newmy88 Posted April 11, 2021 Report Share Posted April 11, 2021 Hi everyone! First time applicant to UBC here so I'm a little unfamiliar with how the process works. From my research, I guess we'll receive an e-mail with D-Day at the end of April/early May! I thought we could start this thread to support each other until decisions come out, because I know I've been having some major anxiety! Anyone know when they might let us know when D-Day is?

Bumblegum Posted April 12, 2021 Report Share Posted April 12, 2021 Historically it has been around 14 May! Specifically the second Friday in May in the late morning. Hope that helps your nerves BKin.d and BioF 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheerfulmed Posted April 23, 2021 Report Share Posted April 23, 2021 Same here! Getting verrrry nervous. From looking at past years I thought it would be May 10/second Monday in May...I wish they would tell us the date that we can expect a decision! For people who have applied in the past, do they usually announce when decision day is and does everyone get notified the same day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They always announce when decision day is, probably ~1 week before the day arrives. And everyone gets notified on the same day! Except MD/PhD applicants who I think get notified like back in March cheerfulmed and ahlavache 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except MD/PhD applicants who I think get notified like back in March Thanks for the reply, this makes me feel a bit better than waking up one day and getting a surprising email LOL... for everyone waiting with me, I guess this means we'll find out when decision day is in the next week or so!

MadSchool Posted May 2, 2021 Report Share Posted May 2, 2021 Wow forum is so quiet this year. Past years around this time people are crazy about waiting for D day haha. cheerfulmed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newmy88 Posted May 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2021 When do you guys think we’ll get the e-mail letting us know when D-Day is?! I’m hoping for tomorrow!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I hope asap as well. But looking at the posts in previous years, there doesn't seem to be a solid pattern when UBC emails us the D-date. Pretty random. We should get email next week for sure though. cheerfulmed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheerfulmed Posted May 2, 2021 Report Share Posted May 2, 2021 Last year it seems like current med students received an update about the format of instruction (virtual/in-person) and distributed sites + an update about D-day before the admissions blog announced the date... any current ubc students who have some insight? What is everyone else doing to pass the time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I guess still need to wait a bit longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcgoat Posted May 5, 2021 Report Share Posted May 5, 2021 The wait is killing me as well. UBC called me two Sundays ago asking if I was actually on track to complete my Master's on time... Not even sure if this means anything or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me that sounds like some good news right? If they don't plan to give you offer why bother call you anyway mcgoat and wanderforhelp 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could just be finalizing the rankings in one way or another. I don't know.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's something I would like to know from other graduate students as well. Though they could have potentially called since I'm fast tracking the program <1y which could be a little sus.
