fishyfish Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 UBC gives you two weeks to pay the $8900 deposit after sending out the acceptance email right? So I guess the waitlist might start moving again before next friday... Assuming those who were granted admission last week want to attend another university. bella: thanks for the update! Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gongster Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 Hey kids, I just gave up my spot at UBC (such a hard thing to do...giving up vancouver =[) Someone should be getting some good news soon Gongster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adversary Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 I am sorry to hear that, but I am happy you have made a decision. I wish you well!! Which school did you decide on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwayner2 Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 Thanks for the update gongster. I know all the waitlisters appreciate it! Cheers, D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gongster Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 Still trying to decide btw UA and UM.....any of you got any ideas? By the way..ubc is an awesome school.....just that the tuition is a bit too much for me to handle =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adversary Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 Without offending my wonderful colleagues in U of A, I would choose U of Manitoba. If I was applying for Dental School right now, I would keep U of Man at the top of the list. I have heard positive comments about their curriculum particularly their clinic component. However, keep in mind, you gotta live there too. Yeah, I do understand the tuition issue. It is definitely debatable whether learning in a new clinic is worth the significant cost in education.

fishyfish Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 no news? I guess everyone paid the deposit except gongster... o man, it might take a while for the waitlist to move again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellaortho Posted July 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 I got the email today. Once again, I was at the 30th percentile. To update again, I plan on attending U of A. ( I just really have to start getting on that medical clearance). Best of Luck. The next person should be hearing soon. ________ ULTIMATE FIGHTER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishyfish Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 WOW thx for the update bella! with you dropping the spot... this means I am officially #1 on the waitlist! o man, now i am corssing my fingers... and will probably check this forum over and over again for the next few days/weeks Congrats on your UA acceptance once again! I wish you the very best fishyfish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adversary Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 I'll cross my fingers for you fishyfish!! I know how it feels to be on both sides so I am really hoping you get the good news.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwayner2 Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 hey all...sorry for the late reply. I got the call early today at 31.3%. I didn't have reception on salt spring island, so it took me awhile to find out. Sorry Fishy, I will be takin' the spot....but by the looks of things/timing you should have no problem! We'll have to find out who eachother is so we can have a brew and moan about how lame it was being on the waitlist! Man this feels good. Just a sense of ease. Cheers!

Adversary Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 Hmm.. you know, there could be more than one spot available. I notice that Bellaortho mentioned getting the call at 30 percentile, lower than Dwayner2. They need to hear the rejection before moving down. Thus, Dwayner2's spot should be separate from the one Bellaortho gave up. I like to bring good news.. so much more pleasant than bad... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look forward to meeting you in person! sorry I wasn't able to use the chatroom... maybe next time? bella haha I really owe you big time. Too bad we can't be classmates I wish you the best! Dwayner I am sure we will have fun figuring out who eachother is when school starts in Sep! (or late Aug, to be more exact) UBCfnh There's still time till September.

Dwayner2 Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 mine is july 20...they give you 10 business days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishyfish Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 mkmkhan thx for the msg I think UBC is the only school that requires a minimum score for carving, which is weird, since I really don't see how cutting a piece of soap can show ppl that you can become a great dentist. anywayz goodluck at UT! I am sure you will do well UBCfnh July 20 same as Dwayner I think they are trying to speed up the process so they can get all students to register un early Aug.

Adversary Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 Hang in there, UBCFNH. I wouldn't be surprised if the waitlist moved further. I look forward to your post of success. *Crossing my fingers for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
