SteveUBC Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 Speaking of this, does anyone who applied to UBC have their Nov. 08 DAT score checked off on their UBC online checklist page yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smilee Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 Does anybody know when UBC would send out interview invitations? You could do a search to find the exact date, but I believe it was around January 20th last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curiousking Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 I think the interview dates are ealier this year (Jan 30/31 and Feb 6/7); therefore, I would assume that we will get notified earlier... Maybe around Jan 15/16?? (last year was Jan 23) sigh, so frustrated.. waiting for that email too... Best Wishes to Everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curiousking Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 By the way UBC hasn't checked off the DAT score box I think they are still on vacation or something School will start next week.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contach Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Will interview invitations continue after the 20th? (or whatever date they end up doing it on?) or is it that if you don't get an interview invitation on this day, then you never will for this application cycle? thanks.

curiousking Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 I think UBC sends out invitation and rejection email/mail at the same time UBC will still give your ranking if you are rejected for an interview from what I understand, there are three ranking catogories Overall Grade, DAT score (I believe PAT and Carving is weighted more heavily) and personal attributes honestly, I have no idea how much each category weighs... anyways..i am already feeling screwed UBC interview 120 ppl this year My average= 80% (average of UBC applicant= 79.8%) DAT= academic average is not that great...(stupid Kaplan) Personal Attributes= ???? My Ranking?? = maybe near top 120...??? Will know in 10-15 days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Bunsen.Honeydew Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Im in the same situation with an average of around 80%. I felt my personal attributes and DAT helped me get an interview last year as they were above average (in the pool of people interviewed). When it came to getting in though, a lot rested on the GPA and interview (which was mediocre). So I am hoping to get an interview again and I have already started preparing for the interview to make sure I do better if I get a chance. It is definitely an uphill battle with the GPA I have. I guess we will all find out soon enough, GL to everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalhousie2013plz Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Hi Dr.Bunsen.Honeydew I PM'ed you with a question if you don't mind replying I would be very appreciative! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herragge Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 I'm well above the average for the DAT but my GPA should be close to 80 as well. I would really love an interview, but I'm not sure how this 10% OOP is going to affect me. Does anyone have a conversion chart for gpa to percentages for UBC? I know UBC says they don't release this information but I think I've seen it somewhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiral0407 Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Has anybody received the UBC interview invitation? I just got mine through e-mail. The interview is on the January 31st, which is 2 weeks earlier (for IP students) than last year. I don't know why they are changing so many stuff this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wein Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 I just got my rejection today. GPA = 81% DAT AA = 20, Perceptual = 15, Carving = 19, RC = 22 That got me a ranking of 13 . I'm kind of mystified I was that low. I'm OOP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is possible that they are holding two separate interviews for IP students. Anyhow, that means I will have the interview earlier and less time for preparation How many ppl are interviewing in total? It is on the e-mail that they have selected 120 candidates.
