yugerry Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 This sound scary. Does this mean rejections have been sent? are being sent? Why does UBC do this to its applicants? Why can't they not play mind games with us? http://admissionsblog.med.ubc.ca/2011/11/15/faqs-for-applicants-not-invited-for-interview/#comments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cause according to Lolas one of his/her friends had been rejected with AQ and NAQ scores yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vita brevis Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 I think in UBC they do give out both AQ and NAQ scores even for partial file review rejects Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince Medward Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 No need to stress about it. Even of you dont't get in it may be a blessing in disguise. After all, you will be saved a lot of work,stress and sacrifice only to finish residency and have to compete for patients with nurse practitioners, naturopaths and the like. Even specialties like ENT and Ophthal look over their shoulders at speech language pathologists and optometrists who can treat some of the same patient and their scope of practice has a tendency to expand. And if the American trend continues to migrate slowly north this kind of thing will only worsen. It is in government's interests to increase competition for patients because an increased supply of Practitioners will Lower the cost of reimbursements. In the US it is the big insurance companies who benefit. Just making the point that what is now the golden profession will likely lose its luster in the future. It's still great to help people as a job though. But you can do that in other professions that are easier to get into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

christinawang1990216 Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 lol I realized I made a terrible mistake on the apps. I was filling them out at the same time as american schools which don't allow pre uni activities to be listed + apparently I was looking at the instructions from the previous year where it says they are to be excluded because I was doing it rather early. so my naq will have no pre uni stuff which is like 2 jobs, bunch of sports teams, volunteering, + leadership. ah what a potentially very dumb way to not make the cut. and im oop so really needed every point I could muster. not expecting too much now lol but might be interesting to use my naq score as a comparison for others to how much including pre uni activities can help.don't stress too much. I m in the same boat, except I included an activities that continued from high school and I m IP. You are doing great at us schools, while I m still waiting for an interview.

All they need is two generic emails; one for interviewees and one for rejectees. Click send and you're good to go... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
