B A T M A N Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 I can't even sleep. Just have knots in my stomach, awaiting the most likely rejection... I'm never optimistic about these things though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoThisIsPatrick Posted May 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 I can't even sleep. Just have knots in my stomach, awaiting the most likely rejection... I'm never optimistic about these things though..I'm very nervous as well, but something that helps me is reminding myself that I'll be okay either way. Life goes on, right? There's always next cycle.

garlic Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 Just got an email from UBC Science and had a mini heart attack. I can't imagine what a mess I'll be tomorrow morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neurophiliac Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 Just got an email from UBC Science and had a mini heart attack. I can't imagine what a mess I'll be tomorrow morning Haha, I know the feels! Guys, tomorrow's the day! I can't believe 3 months passed. Here's what I'm predicting for tomorrow: 9:45 - 9:55 AM: Regrets emails sent. 10:25 - 10:35 AM: Waitlist emails sent. 11:05 - 11:10 AM: Offer emails sent. Seeing that they sent the interview invites exactly like last year, I'm willing to bet that decisions post-interview will be sent like last year as well.

46dr Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 Neuro man, you and your predictions! I predict that I'm going to wait, but will end up checking a billion times. I was at work when interview invites came out too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okidoki Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 Anyone get into their dream school in Ontario, and will now be rejecting their UBC offer if they get it? haha Yes.

nick Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 How much does waitlist move usually? Not a lot if last year is any guide.

Check out the # of declined offers: http://mdprogram.med.ubc.ca/files/2015/10/MED-2019-Admissions-Statistics-website.pdf Don't forget that number of declined offers doesn't necessarily equal waitlist movement.

Great haha, congrats on your other acceptance(s)! Don't forget that number of declined offers doesn't necessarily equal waitlist movement.

AAAmeds Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 Out of 656 interviewees, how many do you guys think will be accepted/waitlisted/rejected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfdes Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 Out of 656 interviewees, how many do you guys think will be accepted/waitlisted/rejected? 288 accepted ~90 waitlist ~280 reject Pure conjecture of course Pretty sure most schools do. Could be wrong though. Possibly, although with the binding campus selection as part of the offer and the fact that they're not competing with any other school IP, I have my doubts. But who knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neurophiliac Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 Out of 656 interviewees, how many do you guys think will be accepted/waitlisted/rejected? I think 288 get accepted (I don't think UBC over accepts), at least 100 get waitlisted, and at most 268 get rejected. After the incident 2 years ago, I think UBC decided to inflate its waitlist.

Neurophiliac Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 Did they run through their waitlist or something? Haha, yup. They had to contact people who were rejected, and offer them a seat. A few people were accepted literally 4 days before classes started! After that, I think they decided to inflate the waitlist so this never happens again :/ .
