amichel Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Oh. I had a prof like that. We had lay translation assignments that in total was worth 40% of our final grade. On the first assignment I got a 60% and for some unfathomable reason, I got a 95% on the second assignment. So I was like.. uhmm what happened here? Oh well, I'll gladly take it! My exam today is for an Chemistry interest course. Although I haven't been really paying much attention this semester so that's kind of burning me now haha. How's exam prep coming for you? Okay! Kinda overdid it last night and stayed up too late, feeling it now. Just a final pass through the material now, and in 3 hours, I'm done!! (Hopefully with undergrad forever!)

What stressful is: you don't need to keep your GPA up every year until either you get in, or give up. So good luck to final exams first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmatt1122 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Anyone at the point of killing time that they're looking at apartments in Vancouver? Hoping to find a place in Kits or Yaletown, I think, should I get an offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drmum Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Anyone at the point of killing time that they're looking at apartments in Vancouver? Hoping to find a place in Kits or Yaletown, I think, should I get an offer. The thought of housing just stresses me out so I try not to think about it. For now my kids are registered for school in 4 different cities. (Takes a lot of sweet-talking to get them to enrol us when we don't have a local address near any of them.) 3 months is such a short time to rearrange lives. I'll be fine sleeping on a park bench if I can just get my family looked after. Time to go do something else to try and take my mind off of the next 20 days!

Registration wouldn't be possible after offers are out? Relocation isn't nearly as much of a burden for me; I'm actually looking forward to it, especially if it's Vancouver!

Fluoxetine Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 Well. Since I'm technically a local, I guess I'll stick to having a 45 min commute each morning by bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and.. 50th post Hurrah! Need some way to burn through that LOC But yeah living at home is probably the best move, financially. Moving out definitely allows for lots of growing up/fun experiences, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, I know it'd be a bit inconvenient at times living at home. Hmm any ideas for happy mediums? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herewego Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 Will the acceptance be sent out first? Around what time? Last year it went Rejection, Waitlist, Acceptance. Basically checking PM101 allowed you to see when the "wave" of rejections ended (giving some sigh of relief since you weren't flat rejected) which followed a short period of silence. Next was waitlist which caused another wave followed by lunch break. Once PM101 was quiet and nothing occurred during the 1.5 hr break it was safe to assume one was in the clear. Elation commenced around 2:30 pm ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never know if UBC throws a curve ball but your guess of when acceptances will be released is as good as anyone's. I'm just commenting of what happened last year... not sure if that is historical trend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
