Bill E Rubin Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Does anybody know when UBC sends out invitation or rejection letters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllSmiles Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 I read in another thread somewhere that last year people were notified about interviews at UBC on Jan. 17. So it's coming up.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill E Rubin Posted January 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Wow, that's pretty late considering they're conducting interviews on Feb 9 and 16 this year. Do you happen to know how they sent the letters out? Was it by email or regular post? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishyfish Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 both! I received the email in the 3rd week of Jan last year... so it should be sometime next week (usually on tuesday) good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllSmiles Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 10,000$?? I thought it was 8,900$? or maybe that was an old estimate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllSmiles Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 hmm...not that there's much difference between the two...still a whole lot of $ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toothdecay Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Does UBC have a certain number of spots reserved for in-province applicants? Or do IP and OOP applicants both compete equally for all the spots in the class? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UBCfnh Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 UBC doesn't give preference to in-province applicants - they haven't for a number of years now. It's fair game for everyone... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UBCfnh Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Also, UBC is changing their interview process slightly. Additional to the standard CDA interview, there will be a PBL component. Something to look forward to...or not...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celeron_266 Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 huh?...is it for this year?...cuz i have seen nothing about the PBL component on the website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllSmiles Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 We should be hearing something soon regarding interviews....(hopefully!) there should be more details in the notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UBCfnh Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 It's supposed to be incorporated into the interviews starting this year. That's what we were told. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest vert Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 what is a PBL component? im just curious.. I didn't apply to UBC this year but I have never heard that term before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sloken Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 ok so I heard thru the grapevine that interview invites are sent out tomorrow...urrone cross yo fingerss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UBCfnh Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 I'm sure it's not called "the PBL component"....I just called it that because that's pretty much what it will be. PBL (problem based learning) is used extensively at UBC (all 4 years). So they want to see how the applicants function in a PBL setting. It would be structured like one of our PBL tutorials, with about 7 people and a tutor, and you would be given a case to work through. I'm not sure how you would be graded, but overall how well you work in a PBL tutorial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllSmiles Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 ok so I heard thru the grapevine that interview invites are sent out tomorrow...urrone cross yo fingerss Ohh....well that is exciting...good luck to everyone I may be glued to my pc tomorrow...hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sloken Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Haha I just realized that by "grapevine", I meant a previous post on these forums. I searched for that post, and it was the day UBC sent invites LAST year. but their flyer that I have says "mid-January", so hopefully we'll be seeing some inbox activity soooooon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllSmiles Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Nice one...hahahah....it has to be either tomorrow or early next week...(at least I hope so) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllSmiles Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Well I guess nothing today?? Any word from anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toothdecay Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 I called the UBC Dentistry admissions office and asked them when they will be sending out the interview/rejection letters and they said they should be sending them out by the end of this week. Hopefully we'll all hear some good news from them soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllSmiles Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Thanks for calling I thought they only sent out the interview emails/letters now and then rejections later on? Or do they send both at the same time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayjaejai Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Oh man,, At the end of this week?? That means we will have about 2 weeks to prepare for the interview, Last year, the letters came on Jan 17, but how come it is taking so long this year? Does this mean more people applied this year???

Sculpture8 Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Are the interview invites sent first? I wish UBC would give an exact date! I was frantically checking my email all last week, after reading the posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sloken Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 I'm really hoping these "letters" are actually emails. If they snail-mail them at the end of the week, thats cutting it really close, especially for people that live in Van that will likely be interviewing on feb 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishyfish Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 o they sent out both emails and snail mails. UBC are pretty good at notifying their applicants when the results come out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
