naziripk Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 Hey everyone I'm just wondering how many of you got an interview to UBC? If you could also post pre-req GPA and last 30 credits senior level GPA as well that would be great. Real appreciated and Good luck to all of you...

raethree Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 Did you calculate your gpa using the 4.33 scale or the 4.0 scale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkdia1 Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 4.33 scale for me, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raethree Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 The only person I know who got accepted this year had a gpa of 4.1 out of 4.33. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raethree Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 Last year the percent cutoff for interviews was around 81.74%. This year you need to have at least around 82% average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raethree Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 Calculating by gpa usually gives a higher grade than calculating by percentage. The department calculates by percentage in order to come up with a cut-off, as far as I know. Correct me if I'm wrong! Doing more hours of volunteering does not help; you need 70 hours, but a 100 hours do not make you a better applicant, unless you have the same grade as another applicant and they want to compare you. Same with reference letters; they're used to compare people with the exact same percentage. Try not to have a last-ten-courses-average below 82%, and try not to get below 75% on any of your last 10 courses, since they want to see consistent academic performance.

Guest Physioprospect Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 MMI. Terrible, pretensious school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carebear1234 Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Hey guys, I got an interview this year. My GPA was 3.95 for the prerequisites and I am a BC resident. I also have around 200 hours of work experience with a physiotherapist. The format is MMI and consists of 9 stations that are 6 minutes long each, with 2 minutes to move in between stations. There are four components to the MMI: discussion, collaboration, acting, and written. I was wondering if anyone else got an interview this year, and if anyone would like to meet up to practise the MMI in the near future? Thanks.

Vj12 Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Hey carebear1234, Are you sure there is an acting station because from what I heard they didn't have it last year and a lot of schools have eliminated it from the mmi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Physioprospect Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 They definitely had it last year and it was very awkward.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubcptstudent Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 I am a current UBC PT student and you really don't need a super high GPA to be able to get in. I was accepted in 2012 with an average of 81.8. If you have a solid interview and decent marks you can definitely get in. Good luck to everyone that has their interview this week!

PTSkye Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 Has anyone on the waitlist heard yet? Kind of crazy they haven't notified us yet. They didn't even tell me I was on the waitlist until I asked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
