biogirlsbro Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 I guess they don't look highly upon YorkU students, my 4 year 3.96 OMSAS GPA only corresponded to an AQ of 20.24, NAQ 13.89. I don't feel so bad since I just got an American acceptance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anna8 Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 Sorry to hear the regrets guys, hope your other applications go well. There's always next year, don't lose hope! If you don't mind me asking, what time did you get your emails? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 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 So disappointed right now. Guess it is time for a masters and then reapply when finished? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't feel so bad since I just got an American acceptance. That's weird. Could they maybe have different conversion factors for each school? I go to mcgill with an OMSAS GPA of 3.90 and got 21.38 :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfuguy Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 I am so sorry for those who received regrets...I have felt that sting many times! Kyla: make sute that they really did apply the 10-year rule, I requested it one year, but it wasnt applied, so I ask them to check and they did indeed see my request and granted an invite. for those who can see their score, could you post ubc converted % and corresponding AQ score, that way we could get a better idea on scoring good luck for those still in limbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanMaverick Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 So I guess the hope is that I don't get a notification popping up saying I have a new email from UBC? Sorry to hear from those who didn't receive an interview - I hope other applications work out for you and that you can keep the resolve to try again next year. For those who might know - was your status on UBC OAS updated before you received your email? And has anybody gotten a freakin' invite yet?

Chubby Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 I go to UOttawa with an OMSAS GPA of 3.89 and got 18... I think they put different weight on overall GPA vs. last 60 credits when they calculate AQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshto Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 thank you, UBC, for taking 185 dollars from me and telling me my non-academics are not up to par. robbery or grand larceny, I really don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue2009 Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 Sorry to hear about all the regrets, I definitely remember how that feels. I missed the IP cut-off by less than 1 point last year. It can be discouraging, but I'm sure that you will all find success in the near future. Good luck with the rest of your applications this year!

aquadon Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 Damn...I have pretty much the same AQ as you Now I'm really worried. I do too. Plus I haven't managed to break 18 with my NAQ. If I do get an interview I will probably be at the bottom of the pile. I guess no news is good news if we didn't get an email yet, still terrified though.

LupeFiasco Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 Regrets as well. They should have instituted a higher cut-off for the GPA for OOP. I mean if you had an 80 then your AQ would have been below 11 and even if you had a perfect NAQ you still wouldn't have gotten an interview. At least the suspense is over. - Lupe On to the next one, on to the next... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anna8 Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 You guys have really high percentages and it's so surprising that it didn't equate to a 20+ AQ! I don't even have the nerve to check my email right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
