K-Doc Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 Great, I wake up & read the paper & go to the horoscope section & it says it is going to be another impulsive day where you want things to be done fast, like yesterday! Great! I'm not looking forward for this wait to continue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FMX Posted November 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 stole my threads' thunder.... =p I was actually just curious to see if last year was as crazy as yesterdays thread and I didn't manage to find anything.. looks like next years class will be the super paranoid one!

Ms_Sunshine Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 I thin this paranoia is at least partially warranted. This year, the scoring system has been entirely revamped and instead of results on one day, the letters are sent out over several days. *Hoping today is the lucky day!* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suziep100 Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 Has anyone ever called ubc admin office yesterday? Man I am in this super boring animal certification class right now because my PI decided at the very last min that I should take this Checking pm101 is nervewrecking but at least it helps me stay awake. As an oop my chances are very slim but my heart still races every minute GaaaaaaaaAaA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hking03 Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 I know somebody who had someone call on their behalf... the person was very nice and said results will be released sometime between now and the 23rd... On a related note- AAaagggghhhhhhhhhhhH! I'm beginning to stress about this... I just reviewed my application for the 13th time... I'm really hoping we get word back today so that I can at least try and get some work done. I'm leaving for Manitoba tomorrow and don't really want to have to stress about this while I'm there... although, what else am I going to have to do... it's Manitoba...

emma3 Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 Well clearly they are just making us wait on purpose because we know they know who has invites or not already... They put the stats up on the website! Either way... here is to another day of paranoid checking of OAS and email for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amh Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 I really hope they post them by Friday. I'm going to be out of the country from the 21st to the 28th and will most likely have very limited access to the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylamonkey Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 Hi. I've been on self-imposed leave-of-absence/personal life issues/chronic-back-pain-worse-when-online lately. the "Evaluation Status" thing has been there for the whole time, I know because I check at least 1-2x per week.

DocT7 Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 I think some schools send out the OOP invites first to allow the more time to make travel arrangements. Really, everything is speculation now, hopefully we all hear sooner than later Just because one may be considered IP doesn't mean that they will not be making travel arrangements (I am IP but will be coming from Ontario). I hope they don't have this logic... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kylamonkey Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 missed you! Thnks, but I think I needed a break b/c I was not being myself for a while there. And my back hurt. This was an interesting read too: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raising_the_Flag_on_Iwo_Jima I'm just trying to give people distractions if need be.

kylamonkey Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 OK- so last year I got my "Regrets, partial file review" (which is pretty much a DQ) on Nov 27 at 10:10AM. And I'm sure there are lots of IP who have to make travel plans. A Yukoner might be considered IP. Besides, you have to make travel plans for Feb, in Nov, and that's a good long time to do so. Alphabetical would be fun- but I am an "A". I always like alphabetical. Which thread are we going to use? I suggest the other since the title is less incendiary.

3kgt48 Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 I am betting on more disqualification notices today. Or maybe they are just going with student numbers or last names!!! Either way. It is a pretty mean strategy to release the scores like this. They should have told us that you will get your scores by the 23rd PERIOD. This 15-23 window makes no sense. PS. IMO the people that were disqualified in spite of meeting all the reqs. had some sort of issues with their verifiers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO the people that were disqualified in spite of meeting all the reqs. had some sort of issues with their verifiers. yeah, that had been presented as a potential reason for dsq yesterday... it sucks if that is the case because you would hope to be contacted if there were any issues contacting or discrepancies in terms of what you put down vs. what your verifier is saying. in fact, i believe they say they will contact you if there are any discrepancies... but i might be wrong. student number would be far too random... i've had mine for 7 years and i assume they are given based on registration dates with ubc so kyla would still get her notice first...

kylamonkey Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 It's true, my student number is a "97" number, and my last name is an "A", so either way I get it first. I really don't think that will be the case thgouh. It's not like they sit there hand-lettering envelopes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
