mimi23 Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 Got my notification yesterday, but posting now. This forum has been great so I thought i'd give back. Regrets, IP. Late deadline. 2nd time applicant (invited to interview last year). aGPA= 89.8 AQ- 32.17 NAQ- 12. 65 (completely shocked by this, I have 5 scholarships, research grants, worked at the hospital, coaching experience, leadership, TA, charity work etc) TFR: 44.82. Anyways, looks like i'm going to try to pursue a masters in physiotherapy since my degree is in human kinetics. Maybe in a couple years i'll give it a shot again. Good luck to everyone!

This seems strange indeed. Is there anything that may have potentially been a problem? Maybe a verification contacts have raised some unwarranted flags? What was your NAQ last year?

I am totally in shock right now as my NAQ is so low... Kinda speechless atm I posted this before. I just wanted to know if there's anyone out there who got rejected had similar NAQ score as me. Because it just doesn't make sense. something's up with the new NAQ scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at the rejection posts, you will know that the majority of applicants' NAQ were dropped by 8-10, except some of them with only 5-6 drop. That means, if your NAQ was 26, then this year it is likely 16, and you need to improve it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herewego Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 "It doesn't matter to me anyways anymore. What they are "trying to achieve" is to keep people like me out. I don't care, I'm risky because I have a 10% in differential equations from 1998. I know that. That's why I changed my tactics, because it was obvious to me that UBC didn't want me. The fact that UBC got rid of the 10-yr-rule and UofC implemented it means that they value the committment I am willing to make, and see me as having value to the profession." Interesting you decided to apply again, kylamonkey. Wonder if you get accepted to both UBC or UofC which one you would choose Nevertheless, congrats on your invite and hope it all works out for you!
