desperate_premed Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Based on last years', we are expecting most of the OOP rejections to go out tomorrow right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
武田信玄 Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Before I go to sleep, I just want to add one more thing: the 52-something cutoff for IP is insane! That's a really high cut-off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleming Posted December 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Based on last years', we are expecting most of the OOP rejections to go out tomorrow right? I don't think last year is an ideal guide. Last year started with a wave of early deadline invites on Tuesday, followed by a day of rejections on Wednesday, then a wave of regular deadline invites. We're already off to a different start from last year, so it's really unpredictable what will happen next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thdms Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Does this mean all the reject emails were sent out today? I'm not sure if it's safe to make this assumption yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desperate_premed Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Can't believe GPA 92.94 with MCAT39 rejected before interview by UBC. Exactly. This guy is legend. He should get a lot of acceptances anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldpizzahotsriracha Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Does this mean all the reject emails were sent out today? I'm not sure if it's safe to make this assumption yet I really hope so, haha. I know 3rd year students, 4th year students and students that have graduated already who received rejections today. Hopefully Early Deadline applicants hear back tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fleming Posted December 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 So altogether it seems there were two waves of decisions today: 2:45ish and 4:20ish (both PST). I guess we know approximately when to keep an eye out for updates in the coming days! Unfortunately for those of us in the eastern time zones, that means waiting until the evening to find out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ascorbic Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Yup, it sucks. If I am to score an interview this year I am not getting my hopes up for admission. Luckily I believe I will score interviews at other schools this year (hoping..) which I am going to make my first priority. I am not a fan of the UBC medical school admissions cycle, and I admit that a large reason for that is the fact I've been through it 3 times now. I haven't been playing their game properly either so I feel you. After my rejection last year I realized that I can't just expect to get in here because once again some people get a lot more breaks in life than others. How does one play their game properly? Almost every single change they've made has hurt my application significantly. Hi, last 60 credits average! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am an older applicant non-traditional applicant with a non-science background.

My MCAT is absurdly low, but that didn't seem to matter. This was my first time applying to UBC and medical school in general. There is some hope for those with lower MCATs and GPA, but stronger non-academics. I spent a ton of time working on the wording of my application, which I think may have helped with a higher NAQ score. I am disappointed that I was so close to the cut off. But my MCAT is probably much too low if I were to have gotten an interview to actually get accepted. Best of luck to those still waiting to get an invite!

accd Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 what is the AQ based off? At first I thought it was simply off your adjusted GPA/overall GPA but it seems to include more than that.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBrownguy Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 AQ is only your GPA and that's clearly stated on the Ubc med site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first I thought it was simply off your adjusted GPA/overall GPA but it seems to include more than that.. It's a normalized representation of your GPA based on those of other candidates.

herewego Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Just a friendly reminder to everyone not to be discouraged by rejections. The admissions committee receives tons of applications to review so maybe this just wasn't your year. Take a deep breath, focus on your remaining coursework, and prepare for next year! You will be accepted to a school and recognized for your hard work so don't think otherwise. I promise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
