Fig Tree Posted May 30, 2022 Report Share Posted May 30, 2022 So I just went through the blog posts from last year’s waitlist movement and it seems that they consistently sent waitlist offers on the next business day following the due date of each offer round. So next wave of offers should be tomorrow. Where are people seeing historical info showing offers go out the same day as the due date?

If you check earlier years' dates, some years UBC did send out offer the same day. Fig Tree and Nidhogg 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torrens Posted May 30, 2022 Report Share Posted May 30, 2022 A nice read about the WL movement: https://mdprogram.med.ubc.ca/2012/04/25/offers-process-overview/ Basically, OOP and IP are on the same waitlist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StressoFerret Posted May 31, 2022 Report Share Posted May 31, 2022 Do we have an idea how many OOP spots are left? I'm on the WL still and I'm not sure till when I should be holding on to hope. Third round went out today and still nothing :/ How many rounds are there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FF20 Posted May 31, 2022 Report Share Posted May 31, 2022 Nothing for me, IP, beyond devastated. Can we share our stats here, I am trying to figure out what is it that i need to improve, I suspect it is my MCAT that has gotten me waitlisted. I start with myself. GPA: 90.5% MCAT: 510 EC: I would say in the 50 - 75 % otherwise I wouldn't get an interview. Interview: I believe it was average, I think I wouldn't be waitlisted if it was below average. Can you guys take a moment and share, this helps us to hopefully see patterns and find the areas we need to work for the future. And can you also mention if you are rural or OOP applicant? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Our stats are very similar. IP here too. Still in WL. GPA: ~90 MCAT: 510 EC: should be >50%, last year I got 50-75%. Interview: no idea.

razzmatazz Posted May 31, 2022 Report Share Posted May 31, 2022 Accepted off WL as IP! This was totally unexpected. I had given up all hope. Third time applicant: WL, Rejection, Accepted! I'm as non-traditional as they come. PM for more info, but stats were ~87 GPA, 510 MCAT, and above average on both interviews and ECs the past two years. Hang in there people. If someone with as weird a background as mine can make it, so can any one with enough time and determination! teachdoc and FF20 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 510 is good enough to gain admission if it's coupled with a strong interview. Perhaps wait until you get to see your interview score after the R (though I hope you get in this cycle). If it's below average-average, then maybe that's something to improve on instead. But of course, increasing your mcat score would only help you:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilTayMoneyWay Posted June 1, 2022 Report Share Posted June 1, 2022 Still on WL as OOP For me, I think it would be healthiest to move on, as opposed to holding on to the glimmer of hope... MCAT: 508 GPA: 11.8/12 McMaster scale (idk how to convert but between 90-100%) EC: equal or above the 63 cutoff Interview: I didn't feel that good so maybe average or below average from a pessimistic perspective Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peachandpies Posted June 1, 2022 Report Share Posted June 1, 2022 IP accepted off WL today SMP MCAT: 510 GPA: 88 below avg interview last year with 75-100% EC - u all got this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gumby Posted June 1, 2022 Report Share Posted June 1, 2022 IP still on WL GPA: 84% MCAT: 511 NAQ: Last year 75-100 (had additional publication and experience for this cycle) Interview: Last year above average It seems like my GPA has really been my detriment. I did a masters abroad and got distinction standing but the program grading scale converted so poorly that it dropped my AGPA nearly 3%. That program was the most formative of any academic experience for me, but who knows, maybe it nudged me out of a med school seat? Grade conversion when studying outside CA/US systems is something people should be mindful of if the grades will be used on any future program applications. Best of luck for everyone still on the WL!

I am more interested to see if anyone is in WL with a high mcat score. Seems like stats posted above all have below average MCAT...

StressoFerret Posted June 2, 2022 Report Share Posted June 2, 2022 I'm OOP - 514 MCAT. I'm not really sure how to do the GPA conversion...but I'm guessing somewhere around 95%? (4.329/4.500 from UWinnipeg). I don't know my NAQ score either, but I have a few publications (first author) and I was involved in several clubs back in undergrad. I'm a non-trad so it's been a few years since I graduated, so my options to do things around campus are fairly limited - not sure if that impacted my NAQ. I felt the interview went well, but once again, there' no way to tell...I'm still on the waitlist so who knows. I already started studying for the MCAT again in case I don't hear anything. I'm not sure what the average movement on the WL is, how many OOP spots have already been filled, where any of us is on the WL, or whether I should just move on. I'm sure we're all in the same boat of waiting for each wave every week. We'll just have to wait! I hope things work out for us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
