Guest adduction Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 That's weird. I'll check my mail, but I didn't get a single-page letter from UBC at all. Is it possible for whatever reason they didn't receive your transcripts when you accepted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TKP 123 Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 I haven't got mine either. Kakashifan, do you get your letter this morning? 0] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kakashifan Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 yup.. just got it 40 minutes ago. i live in Vancouver and it seems that i get mail pretty fast from UBC. i just checked my app status again and it says 'ubc official t/s received'. my marks haven't changed at all from what i sent them in may. thanks! =0. k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MekoMints Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 kakshifan, call/email Angelina at the Admissions to clarify...possibly just a clerical error.>: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mitchie41 Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 I got the letter too. All it says is: "If you were enrolled in courses this year, two sets of official final transcripts must be submitted". I don't think that means you have to send in new ones. I just interpreted it as having to send them in if you already haven't. I guess calling the admissions office would be the best thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kupo Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 haihai! no need to send new ones if you already did. its just a friendly reminder and a thank you to us for sending admissions money. kupo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kakashifan Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 yo! i called the office... (man their initial msg is long.. ) they said if you sent transcripts with your acceptance of offer, you don't have to send new ones. (unless you've taken new courses??? i don't know) =0. k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TKP 123 Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 I got the letter also. I think they just sent the same letter to everyone. Don't worry about the transcripts thing mentioned in the letter. Btw, the info session was pretty useful this afternoon. It recaptured some important book mentioned in the financial book with some additional info. TKP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kakashifan Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 can you elaborate TKP? i got lazy and didn't go to the seminar. thanks! =0. k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TKP 123 Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 The info section emphasizes the points mentioned in the financial booklet that you received with your admission letter. Now I have more clue on the different sources of funding and how much debt in average for a med student after grad. Again, all these can be found in your booklet. Just that it is more clear in my mind now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest uchiha itachi Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 yea, the seminar is basically a summary of the booklet given to you in your acceptance package. You know how tammy empahsized that we have to declare "bachelor" under degree on our goven't student loan application? Well, interestingly, i put something else instead but still got my loan yesterday. So happy =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Koomi Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Hey guys Are there still grants available as well? or is it loans only now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ungern Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Just to let you know that if you put something other than Bachelor on your loan application you will still receive your loan approval from the student loan people, however I phoned them as I put "professional" and they told me that the problems occur on UBC's end. SO you still have to change your application status to Bachelor. You just need to write the student services branch and tell them that you would like to change your status from ________ to " Bachelor" and include your SIN and your BCSAP number and sign the letter. THen there shouldn't be a problem when UBC is matching your loans to their system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest uchiha itachi Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 hey ungern, thanks for the info. I too put down "professional" instead of "bachelor". :lol However, u don't need to write up all that stuff to have it changed. I just got off the phone with the student service branch and they changed it for me over the phone. All they need is ur SIN and Application number.

Guest kupo Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 see thats odd, the agent at BCSAP told me i had to submit such changes in writing (or fax). so, i suppose you can try and call and get them to change it, but dont count on it.

Guest Asuna Med 2009 Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 I did the same thing, and when I called BCSAP the lady told me not to even worry about it because they would simply see it when my application was processed and change it for me.

Guest uchiha itachi Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 common sense tells me that many applicants will make the same mistake so i say BCSAP should recognize this and change it for us :lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest physiology Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 Hello, Last year, some students in our class did the same thing. They put "professional" or "PhD" instead of "bachelor" in their student loan application. Don't worry about it. The BCSAP people will fix it. You'll probably get an email from Rosemary McCutcheon soon reminding you to put down the right category. Physio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
