Genemo Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Also, what do you guys think is the reason behind, if you get an interview, they dont tell you your scores? Thanks maybe they dont want people to speculate the evaluation system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asta Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 I assume they don't tell us so that people don't know where they stand compared to other applicants before the interview. I think knowing how you compare to the other interviewees could affect interview performance and stuff like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backpacker Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 maybe they dont want people to speculate the evaluation system? I guess so, only for the applicants that make it in, because for all rejected applicants you know your score. I assume they don't tell us so that people don't know where they stand compared to other applicants before the interview. I think knowing how you compare to the other interviewees could affect interview performance and stuff like that. I dont see how this is a bad thing.

songofdovely Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Also, what do you guys think is the reason behind, if you get an interview, they dont tell you your scores? Thanks I believe this is moreso to prevent individuals from comparing themselves once they actually get into med school. They want everyone to see each other as colleagues with equal standing.

Apixaban85 Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 When does Intern-stats normally come out? I think last year it was the monday? I believe they came out the Friday before the week interview invites went out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mithril Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 ahhh... that is a legit reason. But then again, no one will know your score, unless you tell them. But it also affects you subconsciously if you know your score beforehand. The point is that if you get an interview your TFR score becomes irrelevant. At that point it's more or less all about the interview.

optimism101 Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Do we actually get an email from UBC telling us if we got an interview? Or do they just update the OAS? From what I understood from the admissions blog, and the website, I thought they were just going to update the OAS. Haven't received an email from UBC today, which is good I guess, but I can't bring myself to check the OAS... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will go to the OAS first, then it will send the update to the email you selected as your primary contact with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prince Medward Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 No one has yet posted that they received a DQ (whatever that means - could someone enlighten me?). I would not be surprised if the admissions office send out the day's notifications at the end of the day so as not to be inundated with questions and complaints from the unfortunately rejected. Prospective callers would then have to wait until the office opens the next day and by that time passions may have cooled and a portion of them may decide not to bother calling.

technicity Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 No one has yet posted that they received a DQ (whatever that means - could someone enlighten me?). DQ = disqualification, i.e., automatically being removed from the applicant pool due to reasons like: Not reaching GPA cutoffs Not receiving MCAT scores Not receiving official transcripts Etc. Good luck everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mithril Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Last year disqualifications were sent out on the Monday. Only one person posted his disqualification though. Tuesday had some OOP partial file review regrets and Wednesday and Thursday unleashed a torrent of regrets late in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuesday had some OOP partial file review regrets and Wednesday and Thursday unleashed a torrent of regrets late in the day. Thanks for giving us a heads up of whats about to come! I think that the reason why people are not posting DQs is because they probably know by now that they are going to get a DQ as I thought that most DQs are from low MCAT marks.

yugerry Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 A fellow nurse who I used to work with texted me and said that she was DQ'ed. Because her GPA was slightly below 75. I don't think she's on these forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
