redfox Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Any idea how many people get put on the waitlist at UBC. Do most waitlisted applicants eventually get in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ev604 Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 Hi! I'm not sure how many people actually get waitlisted but I'm guessing it would be 75+? A chunk of the waitlist moves after the deadline for initial offer replies (May 30th) and then usually moves again once that second deadline for replies has passed...then it pretty much trickles if people turn down their offers throughout the summer. I was waitlisted last year and rejected about 4-5 weeks afterwards because I was too far down on the list. A group of people who are at the top still remain because they may still have a fighting chance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dott Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Bump. Just called admissions to ask what the first possible waitlist movement date is. Answer was May 30th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inzi Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 If offered a spot off the waitlist, would we receive an email or a phone call? Would this differ for IP and OOP applicants? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumper Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 You'll receive an email, no phone call. Well, at least there was no phone call last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HD1 Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Haven't seen any movement yet. What was the number in brackets after "Notification email" that you received telling you that you were waitlisted? Mine was (5). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inzi Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 Mine was (6). I was OOP so it might be that IP got (5) and OOP got (6) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biochemnerd Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 be patient guys..i can recall that the first wave off the waitlist was around June 15 and second wave around July 15 last year; tough luck after that. so..it's not time to see any movement yet..enjoy other things in life while you can, try not to let this wait take up your mind. I know it's easy for me to say..i couldn't do that myself last year, but third time around..i felt this wait is not really affecting me as much as it used to be.n'ways..just hanging there & no matter if it's a go/or not.it's all good. life still has to go on and if this is what we really want to do..sooner or later we will have a chance to pursue our dreams. ________ ALMERA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
