amichel Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 UBC doesn't have interview waitlist. If someone does withdraw the interview, I don't know how UBC handle the vacant spot. Uh, what? We were talking about the poem the med student society sent about the review weekend events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skynet Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 It is kind of hilarious. I'm sure they were trying to make us smile because they must know we're all tearing our hair out this time of year. Just any email with the word "Admissions" in the subject has been giving me a heart attack lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many emails do you get with the subject admissions in the subject line? haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skynet Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 More or less never. A very sad success rate considering the number of times I check my email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockeynut Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 Ahh made it sound like you got a lot of those emails haha. Doesn't seem like the Feb 1/2 invites are going out today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedLily Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 OMG YES. I've been sending everything to my spam folder just so my phone vibrates less. My phone is my nemesis right now, keeps vibrating and I check it and it's not an invite… I could send stuff to junk but I'm paranoid about sending an invite there by mistake (I know that wouldn't really happen but I'd be tempting the universe) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amichel Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 How many emails do you get with the subject admissions in the subject line? haha Quite a few because I ticked that box when I took the MCAT so random schools (Vanderbilt, Duke (in Singapore) and Caribbean schools mostly) send me stock emails often. It is cruel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leon Posted January 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 My phone is my nemesis right now, keeps vibrating and I check it and it's not an invite… I could send stuff to junk but I'm paranoid about sending an invite there by mistake (I know that wouldn't really happen but I'd be tempting the universe) Everytime I've tempted the universe, it's always been particularly malicious to me, haha. I suggest not sending everything to junk since you could miss an Admissions e-mail that way. You'll probably acclimatize soon to the heart racing- you'll get used to it after a few weeks! I almost did last year but I was on a major roller coaster this time last year (initially rejected by Ottawa, couple weeks later offered interview, exactly one week later offered UofT interview - there was no time to get used to latency!) The pain of waiting is a special kind of agony but all I can say is it's worth it on May 14. I applied twice so I'm all too familiar with how difficult this ride is for most.

tybalt Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 For all the Western people out there, remember to add Leslie Taylor's email to your contact list. Last year, my interview invite and my acceptance letter went to my UWO spam... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
