AllSmiles Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 No it does not. UBC doesn't care which province you are from. I know many people from Ontario got interviews, and several of them also were admitted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllSmiles Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 The admissions committee looks at overall GPA, DAT scores, letters of reference, personal essay, and interview scores when deciding who is accepted. We weren't told how much each category was worth. They do a lot of calculations on a computer and it ranks everyone. In the end, the only info they give out on your ranking is in terms of percentiles (and this is only given to waitlisters). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Vandelay Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 What other Canadian schools don't care about IP or OOP status? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nezura Posted June 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 What other Canadian schools don't care about IP or OOP status? I'd like to know this as well. Allsmiles do you know how they convert our universities marks to their percentages? Because I was looking at their statistics and they show them as percentages whereas their "column" on the omsas conversion table is in a letter grade.

AllSmiles Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Here are some I know about: UofA: 10% OP UBC: no pref UMan: Out-of-province applicants and Manitoba residents compete equally for the first 29 positions in the class. The wait list is made up of Manitoba residents only. I'm not sure about UT or UWO. But I do think they take a lot more IP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how they convert university marks since I didn't really bother about it. (which is surprising...the school I fussed the least over with the little details, I got in) Since it does seem like they use % instead of letter grade, maybe try using UWO conversion (I think that's what I had relied on). Or better yet, contact them if you want to be absolutely sure. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
