monty Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Hey fellow wait listers, let's get through this together! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waitlister99 Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Thanks for starting this thread. Let's hope for as much movement as was seen last year!!! Also, just wanted to say, if anyone got an offer from UBC and plans to decline it, please let us know so we can have a rough estimate of how many plan to do this. Oh, also please indicate whether you are IP or OOP. Thanks and best of luck to everyone. Also congrats for all those that got in! And for those with less fortunate news, keep your head up, you made it this far, you are still a fantastic person and don't give up if you really want it!

sirnoodleton Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 I was waitlisted too. Should we give the times of our emails? Then we might be able to see if there is some kind of ordering? My email came at 11:24 AM. IP 30R MCAT (V9/BS10/PS11) B.Sc. Hons. M.Sc (june 2012) filled the pubs page. My hope is that most of us will know by Friday.

Loads of ECs, around 87% adjusted gpa and 30 Mcat. I hope most of us will know by Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirnoodleton Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 So glad someone started this thread!! How much movement was there last year? Last year 69 spots opened up. The two years before that was 33 spots. 25 of those spots were IP declined. So if you're top 20 IP on waitlist you're good to go. All the best.

Waitlister99 Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Why is everyone saying we will hear something on Friday? Isn't the deadline for the deposit May 23? So wouldn't that be when we would start to hear something or am I missing something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunnyD Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Waitlisted as well. 87% adjusted GPA and pretty low MCAT score so far I've counted 5 waitlistees, myself included. time 11:24 as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirnoodleton Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 You have to accept rather soon. Then supplementary things like the deposit have a bit more time I believe. But typically people know if they are going to say yes or no. Other programs give notice earlier. So if you already accepted somewhere else, you might not be inclined to accept at UBC. Either way, there is usually a lot of movement the first two weeks, then it slows down. The admissions blog said most years the class is finalized by July, but there are always precedents of people getting in on the first day of classes. It's rare but it happens.

Waitlister99 Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 So from people I know and this forum, I know of 9 for sure waitlisters IP, 2 OOP. I'm thinking the waitlist is anywhere from 50 - 100 for IP, and probably ~50 OOP. Last year 38 IP got offered off the waitlist, and 31 OOP. Crossing my fingers for the same kind of movement.

Larkspur Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Hello all! I'm on the waitlist as well. But I do agree with sirnoodleton, it really is better than a poke in the eye with a burnt stick. Let's keep our chins up chaps! (and chappettes? Is there a feminine suffix for "chaps"?) It's still quite an accomplishment to get this far. Best of luck to you all!

Brittany C Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Hello, I'm waitlisted as well! I'm sort of glad to still have a little hope but I was looking forward to the wait being over. My email also came at 11:24am. IP GPA ~84% MCAT 37M ECs: Honours, paramedic now, crisis centre volunteer for years, youth leader This is my 4th time applying to UBC, I would be so happy if this were finally the year! Good luck guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waitlister99 Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 I also got the email at 11:24am. Pretty sure everyone who was wait listed got it at this time. As for stats IP AQ: ~90% NAQ: Probably mediocre - lots of long-term volunteering (5/6 years) and other stuff but no research. MCAT: 29Q - 7VR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thehalfie Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Why I have a ****ty MCAT & no research! Well, we're all on the same list now, for whatever reason. Let's all just root for a ton of declines lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope people are getting in elsewhere and accepting. But it's weird, I've only see one person post accepted and decline. Mind you, not as many people are posting this year. I think only like 2 people said regrets? :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirnoodleton Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 From what I understand, and please correct me if I'm wrong. But an IP person on waitlist can take the spot of an OOP seat if they decline, but an OOP waitlist cannot take the seat of an IP applicant if the 10% quota for OOP applicants is filled. Man I hope we get word very very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaVen777 Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Don't give up if you are on the waitlist! you can get an offer in a really unexpected way! I was driving on highway 1 between Merritt and Kamloops in the middle of June when I got the email on my Blackberry! Just try not to think about it.... Easier said that done. Go ahead with any backup plans you may have decided upon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teghanmn Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Waitlisted for 2016! I wish they told you how you ranked on the waitlist but I suppose we will find out soon enough whether we get in or not. Avg GPA ( high 80s) 29Q Good NAQ (lots&lots of long term experiences & volunteering) but no research which seems to be a negative thing and possibly a recipe for waitlisting haha. Cross your fingers! And accept that you may be moving to PG! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backpacker Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 I was here last year. Right to the very last day before school started. So I know how this feels. Good luck everyone!! I know it is hard, but my advice would be hope for the best and immediately prepare for the worst! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
