medisLiferight Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 Yeah, considering it ranged between 36 and 41 declined offers for the past 3 years, I'd say remain hopeful but start planning as though you aren't accepted. Just think though, every one of us had enough for them to accept us, but they don't have the space for all of us. That's how I see it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lab2185 Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 It has to move slightly, because the accepted page shows a few people at least who are declining...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thethirdlaw Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 Will be declining my OOP offer tomorrow. It kinda hurts me and that's why I've held off but must be done. Good luck all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopefullyubc Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 Has anyone IP declined their offer? Hoping for some IP waitlist movement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SillyPanda Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 ^As far as I understand, there is not two separate waitlists - just a max number of OOP students allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBrownguy Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 MD 2018 here. Anecdote time. In my year we had someone bumped from waitlist --> the weekend before classes started. So keep hope and hoping you all will be colleagues one day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PM_JG Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Just accepted off the waitlist for the NMP. Seems like the waitlist is moving! I will likely reject this offer since I already accepted my UofT offer. Hopefully someone else gets some good news soon!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medisLiferight Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 I also got accepted off waitlist for VFMP as an IP!! And I am definitely accepting So it is moving and good luck to everyone else on here - even if you don't get it this year, you earned a spot on the waitlist so sooner or later you'll get it!

PM_JG Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Sorry I guess I should have posted some stats: Accepted to NMP Time stamp: May 26th, 3:30PM IP applicant GPA: ~89% Old MCAT: Best score was 11BS/10PS/9VR NAQ: last year was ~28. See my UofT post for more info. Interview: I felt very bad after the interview. Felt like I bombed at least 3 stations. I guess I didn't do as badly as I thought. Will likely decline this offer for my Toronto offer. Good luck everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oline Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Congratulations PM_JG and medisLiferight!Hopefully there was some internal movement this last round and there will be some more good waitlist movement next Thursday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caleb Dusdal Posted May 29, 2016 Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 I'm a bit late posting, but here goes. Accepted off waitlist to NMP. Time stamp 5/26/2016 2:30:34 PM My stats from last year's rejection are below. I stayed on the waitlist last year right up to the orientation date. MCAT: 28 Overall Grade Point Average 86.58 Pre-Requisite Average 83.04 AQ Score 27.02 NAQ Score 25.19 TFR Score 52.21 Interview Score Above Average In case it isn't obvious from my low GPA, I am IP haha All I did in the time until this year's application was continue to work passionately with both my professional and volunteering ventures.

Ex-XRayTech Posted June 4, 2016 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 Accepted to IMP Time stamp: June 3rd, 10:46AM IP applicant GPA: ~86% MCAT: 511 NAQ: First Time applying, so no score. Interview: I thought I didn't bomb any stations, but there were several that I didn't exactly love my answers to either. Just felt OK about the interview overall. I will be accepting this offer! For everyone else on the waitlist, keep those hopes alive, definitely seems like the list is moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc123 Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 I wonder if there is much OOP waitlist movement this year. Judging based on the posts from this year, it doesn't seem like there were very many accepted. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medrock Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 Hi everyone - long time lurker here - i aleays appreiated when other people time stamped, so i figured id do the same after getting an offer to the NMP on the 4th round In province 84 gpa Lots of volunteer work Interview felt crap - felt like i bombed like 3 stations Lived rurally for a few years, but wasnt raised rurally or anything like that. To those still on the waitlist - stay hopeful - i had all but written ubc off this year. Ive felt down and out and wanted to give up to many times - just stay to your goal.

g4m3r2 Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 Hey guys, So the fourth round has been announced, and I am starting to figure out my alternative plans for next year as I am still yet to hear back from UBC. My question is, how likely is one going to hear back from UBC at this point (speaking realistically)? On one hand, judging from the posts on this thread, it seems there were only 5 or so people accepted off the waitlist (since the first movement). There were ~6 rounds last year, and so we're 2/3 way through already. On the other hand, you always hear about people who were accepted like 2 days before class started.

medrock Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 It's so hard to say - I've heard rumours that approx 90 ppl are on the wait list from year to year, and something like 35-40 ppl get accepted. You are right to say ppl get in right up until school starts - I also know, UBC generally cuts the wait list down mid June, so if you are still in the running after that your chances go up, statistically speaking. I think making alternative plans is wise, but I wouldnt completely give up hope. Stay positive, but do manage your expectations - and with enough persistence and perseverance, your hard work will pay off - good luck!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medicine Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 Do you know if they shortened the waitlist? UBC MD BLOG STATES... Offers 2016 – All Positions Filled in MED 2020 Class By Admissions on June 23, 2016 The deadline for Round 6 has passed, and we are both happy and sad to report that all of the positions for the MED 2020 class have been filled. If students withdraw their acceptances there is a chance that a few more positions will become available, but it is impossible to say how many spots will open up, if any. We therefore recommend that applicants still on the waitlist start thinking about their 2016/2017 applications if they plan to reapply to the program.
