Genemo Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Does anyone know how forgiving ubc is regarding late documents? I have a foreign transcript and that needs to be evaluated by ICES or WES. I sent the application out right before the strike but it hasnt arrived yet. I don't think it can make the deadline of Aug.15th. It's probably gonna come out in early September and arrive at UBC at probably mid-Sep. Has anyone had similar experience?

keepontrying Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 If you explained your situation to the admission office now, they may be more lenient about it given your circumstances (you can't control the post office strike). Having said that, my friend's transcript got lost in the process and he was disqualified pre-interview two years ago even though the tracker showed that UBC did receive the transcript, so it wasn't even my friend's fault.

vanillalatte Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Do you have a link to where they specify which foreign transcripts must be evaluated by WES? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEDLIL Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 http://www.med.ubc.ca/education/md_ugrad/MD_Undergraduate_Admissions/Admission_Requirements.htm Towards the middle of the page. Control F and type ICES you'll find it. I would contact UBC directly and ask them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genemo Posted July 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 Just to let everyone know. I called and they say as long as the transcript arrives before the deadline, the application will be fine. The ICES or WES report could arrive later.
