woolywooly Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Why is everyone checking their emails?I thought it's going to be on the UBC Med online system!! Or am I wrong? lol. I wish tomorrow's the day. This thread is making me more nervous than anything else! Usually, when you get a message in the UBC med online system, it sends you a notification email. Like how facebook emails you when someone sends you a facebook message ect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smakie Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Yeah, and for the notification email it'll probably say your status on the subject heading. I know for the interview notification the subject was either "interview granted" and "regrets, no interview" (not sure).So...I wager we should expect something like "Offer" or "Regrets" sometime next week in our inboxes. omg i need to stop thinking about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jigen Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Hello everyone, I've been reading your posts for a long time but have never replied to anything. I almost feel like I know you all and so here's my bit. It's comforting to know that there are so many others that are just as anxious about Thursday. I hope that all of you will only have good news to report on the big day. Best of luck guys (and girls). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfuguy Posted May 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 What about an internet cafe, library, pay phone...anything but a 5-day wait... Goodluck... 7 days left... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonidas Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Oh boy...feeling so nervous right now. Can't believe this long wait is almost finally over. Does anyone know if acceptances get sent out first (10am to 12) then waitlists, then rejections, which seems to be the case last yea. If that's true I'd be logged on to email at 9AM and keep refreshing every 5 seconds..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsmooth Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 also, kind of interesting how they probably have already made decisions and our fate is already known somewhere in a pile of folders...we just won't know for a week... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destiny Gundam Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 For my year (2 years ago) that's what happened. I believed it was May 17th a Monday? I kept checking and checking in the morning and I think around 10:30 the screened change and I bursted into tears. I think after that the waitlisted people found out. Unfortunately they have to do this manually so the people that got rejected won't find out till later the afternoon... that might change this year though. Hope that helps.

Destiny Gundam Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Oh and re: emails. For me the online page changed first then like 15 min later I got the acceptance email, it was like 5 Mb so make sure your email has enough room for it! There are some forms, letter from the Faculty, etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope that helps. so based on this information if you don't get an email/status change in the morning/early afternoon then you're probably waitlisted or rejected.... thanks for the heads up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonidas Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 I'm deciding which method is better a) continuously checking since 10Am to get the news asap b)waiting till 4PM or so to check so there definately will be a response, no matter what it is I'm leaning towards b. What about you guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedro_md Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 good luck with option b. do you really think you can wander around for a whole day, probably with easy access to a computer and not check? i'd go neurotic. probably end up in the psych ward if I tried to to that...

jumper Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Hi, Just wanted to let you know about the timing of my "journey" to acceptance into UBC med last year. I was waitlisted last year on May 17th and was told I was accepted June 6th. So after the initial first round of people accept or deny their acceptance the waitlist seems to move pretty fast. I know this is a stressful time for everyone out there waiting to hear. All I can say is that if it is meant to be it will happen for you. IF you don't get the news you want don't lose hope and do reapply! 15 years from now it won't matter if you got into the class of 2012 or 2013...or 14 for that matter it will just matter that you are doing something you love. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMD Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 the wait is killing me.. I think I will skip work and stay home on that day.. waiting for the e-mail notification before log in into the system... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsmooth Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 i think i'm just going to check neurotically from 9:50 am on lol and glad to hear the waitlist does seem to move pretty fast. is everybody hear banking on ubc or are some of you also waiting from other schools like u of t or maybe have even heard from us schools already...

smakie Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 ugh...it'd be upsetting to not get an email all morning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etbr Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 wow someone actually phoned in and asked which day specificially they'll release results? impressive for those who don't have work on may15, get really drunk the night of may14, don't set your alarm clocks so you'll wake up in the noon of may15. that'll save you some nerve wrecking constant checking in the morning and so u'll get results immediatley after u wake up. if its an unfavorable reply, get drunk again and go back to sleep... if it's a favorable reply, get drunk with ur friends!

What about you guys? I'm going to be at work, and I have decided to try option (. Not sure that I can do it, but that's what I'm going to try to do. I will also try not to look at this discussion board until I get my results. Good luck, good luck, good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paradocs we are Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 oh just noticed you don't have phone access either....guess you're out of luck. you must be going to the middle of nowhere.. What about an internet cafe, library, pay phone...anything but a 5-day wait... Goodluck... 7 days left... I'll be serving Aboriginal kids up North and my cell phone doesn't work there. There will be a pay phone, I think, and I *might* be able to ask the local school if I can check my email using their dial-up internet....late on Thursday or Friday. I doubt I can keep asking them to check my email neurotically lol AND besides, by the time the page loads, I'd have died anyways. SO dying once is the way I am choosing to go. i think i'm just going to check neurotically from 9:50 am on lol and glad to hear the waitlist does seem to move pretty fast. is everybody hear banking on ubc or are some of you also waiting from other schools like u of t or maybe have even heard from us schools already... I'm happy to have had an acceptance from a U.S. school already but UBC is my absolute top choice of all the schools I applied to. If I get into UBC, I'm withdrawing from all other schools and going to be matriculating there. GOOD LUCK TO ALL THOSE WHO REALLY WANT UBC!!!
