raethree Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 Hi! I created this thread so that those applying to UBC PT this year would have a specific place to post their questions and concerns. Also, if anyone would like to get together to practice for the MMI, please post here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pt2014applicant Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 Hey, UBC PT hopeful here! No concerns, just really hoping to get in this time round. Last year my GPA didn't make the cut off for getting me an interview, but since then I've taken 9 new courses and my new GPA is looking much better. I'm wondering how to prep from here. Anyone have any tips on where to find practice MMI questions? Or strategies for the interview? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattyj2 Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 I've just been doing google searches for MMI questions, here's a link to some sample ones I found: http://www.medicine.usask.ca/pt/admission/Practice_MMI_QuestionsUofS.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pt2015 Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 Does anyone know last years cut off GPA or % to get an interview at UBC for pt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattyj2 Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 Someone on a blog post I found said it was 81.74% for the 2013 cycle. I have absolutely no idea if that is in any way accurate though, but it's the only number I've seen so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raethree Posted January 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 Thanks for using this page, guys! Best of luck next week! I think that is when we should hear back whether we get an interview or not. As for the gpa cutoff, it varies by year so as long as you are above 80%, I wouldn't worry about last year's cutoff!

pt2014applicant Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 Gah the waiting is killing me! Is anyone else jumping every time their phone beeps because of a new email?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PTSkye Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 It varies year by year in the upward direction and last year I was denied an interview by 0.3% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lambo23 Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 Also, does anyone know how to convert a GPA from a 4.33 scale? I did not go to UBC for my undergrad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pt2014applicant Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 I got an interview! Got the email at 10:11am this morning. So relieved and glad to be given the opportunity to interview this year. Anyone else hear back yet? I'd love if we could figure out the gpa cutoff.

helloyou Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 For those who applied to OT, did you receive an interview email as well?? Oh heck, I should start a UBC OT thread!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pt2015 Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 For the people that didn't get an interview last year, did you receive a rejection letter, or did you receive just no email?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pt2014applicant Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 For the people that didn't get an interview last year, did you receive a rejection letter, or did you receive just no email?! I got my rejection email last year on the 13th of feb some time in the afternoon. If you haven't heard, they might be waiting to see if anyone declines the interview to then invite the next people in line (at least that would be my guess). Good luck to you!

PTSkye Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Last year I didn't find out until a day before the actual interview.. And only after I'd emailed them several times with no reply. Turns out I was on a wait list wait list but no one told me about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PTSkye Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Actually now that I think about it I don't think they actually sent me a letter until after the interviews had passed. It was bizarre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helloyou Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Does everyone who end up getting accepted go through an interview? Or do they only interview the top portion of applicants? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pt2014applicant Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Does everyone who end up getting accepted go through an interview? Or do they only interview the top portion of applicants? Yes, everyone who gets accepted has to have been interviewed first. They interview roughly double the amount of people they accept.
