kylamonkey Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 I'm starting to think Friday at 430 lol. I am getting tired of checking... This makes so much sense from a practical standpoint. I really hope not, I have 3 papers to write this weekend and it will be hard to concentrate.

monty Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 This makes so much sense from a practical standpoint. I really hope not, I have 3 papers to write this weekend and it will be hard to concentrate. It has been hard to focus on anything but the impending emails over all of our heads, but I will let go of my negative feelings if I get an interview! In any event I love this forum because friends and family get tired if hearing me talk about after a while and I really don't blame them. Time to go to the gym or something!

kylamonkey Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 I went to the gym last night- I had 2 training appointments, the first had cancelled right before an the second was a no-show. So I did my own workout, then got some dinner, then worked on microbiology. It actually was pretty good! My workout was excellent too, I murdered the spin bike with my anxiety.

ruij Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 I'm starting to think Friday at 430 lol. I am getting tired of checking... That would be horrible, since bad news would ruin my weekend...not to mention it's exam study time right now, I'm not psychologically ready for another let-down.

MGB Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 There is like 2 feet of snow in Calgary right now...I don't know what I think will be worse, the drive home, or waiting another 4 days for a response from UBC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylamonkey Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 sry but what's the 10 year rule? AKA "Exclusion of Early Coursework" It's the UBC rule where they drop all your marks form greater than 10 yrs ago. There are other stipulations, but that's the gist. For those of us who have old bad marks (like I flunked out in 1999 with a 41% average from one year) it's a godsend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FMX Posted November 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 yeah the frequency of posting has definitely died down (along with the frequency of F5's).. guess I'll just take a break and check again on Friday unless I get phone calls from my friends who check this forum every 30 minutes too lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

preppy038 Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 Regrets OOP AQ 21.38 NAQ 15.74 Overall GPA = 87.91 Prerequisite = 87.80 Last 60 = 87.70 :S I am like 0.58 points below the interview cut-off of 37.70...

repede Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 regrets. have not checked score yet. NO WAY! I so thought you would get an interview... I hope they keep the 10 year rule so you can apply again next year. To all those who've heard back so far, UBC's sure missing out on some great potential MDs. Sorry to hear the feedback, good luck with your other applications. Yeesh, UBC's tough with OOP applicants! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apixaban85 Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 I'm still 14 point below cut-off! The AQ change - honestly I don't think that the 10-yr rule will help anyways. I thought for sure your NAQ would pull you through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monty Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 No interview here either I have a 3.80/4.33 average in province and I got an 11.00 for academic?? I am a non-trad applicant with my first degree in psychology. Last 60 credits my gpa was a 3.85/4.33 as well. Crazy. Time to do some re-evaluating of career goals I think. They also gave me a 12.6 on NAQ with student governance for 3 years (vice president finance for two years and president for a year at a rural campus in BC). I also have 3 years of peer support volunteering, taught self defense to battered women and children, played guitar for a church music team for 10+ years, I also have a first author publication! What are they looking for?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are they looking for?? I'm not sure how NAQ is marked or standardized man, it's got to be subjective. For comparison, I got 13.89 on NAQ and had: 40 hours at volunteer homework club 50 hours as event coordinator for club on campus 30 hours volunteering at long-term care center 10 hours at another homework club 15 hours at Heart and Stroke Foundation 7 hours at campus clinic events volunteer 191 hours at emergency department 140 hours as undergrad research volunteer 150 hours recreational 16 hours CPR/First Aid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
