BioF Posted October 15, 2017 Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 I'm too nervous to ask my verifiers if they were contacted. Is this a mistake? I don't think I can handle the confusion in there tone if they say no... I'm holding out until December Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If UBC is unable to get in contact with a verifier by email or phone, they will contact you directly and find out if there's another way to reach the verifier.

As far as I know, none of my verifiers were yet contacted. Starting to get worried... Not really, but I did max out for all categories, which might be why?

_gettingthere_ Posted October 18, 2017 Report Share Posted October 18, 2017 I know at least one of my verifiers was contacted today. I'm OOP, not sure if that affects the timing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No just thought that it would be perhaps more probable for the admissions committee to want to verify activities that seem strong and would, therefore, result in stronger NAQ and hence interview. On the flip side, it is also possible that they found some things unclear and want to ensure that you are being genuine in your descriptions. I am not sure.

Livinalberta Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 Hey gang. Just found out that at least one of my verifyers was contacted very recently! I hope that means that I am getting a full file review! OOP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laura625 Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 does anyone know if having a lot of verifiers checked is a good or bad sign? I had 8 verifiers contacted this cycle. Should I be happy or concerned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We check at least one verifier (usually more) for every applicant who receives a full file review. Sometimes we check a few, sometimes we check them all. We contact them either via email or phone. Verifiers are checked both randomly and for specific reasons. This is an integral component of our evaluation process. It helps to ensure that what you have written is an accurate reflection of your experiences. Most likely they are still checking but this is off the UBC website.

sbrydle Posted November 6, 2017 Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 I've had 2 verifiers call me to say they were contacted over the past couple weeks, I assume more were contacted and just haven't said anything to me. No idea what this means, and being that it's UBC there's no way to know. Everything is so mysterious about the application process, who can say?

hartk48 Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 Do we have an ETA for invites? was it the 12th last year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clever_smart_boy_like_me Posted November 19, 2017 Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 I'm guessing week of Dec 10. It was around that time last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hartk48 Posted November 19, 2017 Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 and do all invites and rejections come out at the same day? or invites in one day and then rejections come in waves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typically, all rejections come in waves on the Monday, Tuesday is quiet, Wednesday is early deadline invites (except last year when there was no early deadline - it was quiet), and Thursday is regular deadline invites. This has been typical of the last 3 years, but take it with a grain of salt Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was guessing week of Dec 11 too, but I was just browsing the application timelines on the med website and they’ve changed the interview invitations from “early December” to “starting Dec 4”. Looks like it’s earlier this year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
