I cannot be the only person anxiously awaiting tomorrow...I mean unless I’m the only person that applied I’ve been going through the last two years threads to see what kind of pattern decisions come out in. 

Seems to be:

Monday: Rejections

Tuesday: Radio silence

Wednesday: Early Invites 

Thursday: Regular Invites

Do they not email you if you've received an interview invite?

Interview invites for those who didn’t meet the early deadline have historically been emailed on Thursday.

Who else is going to have a mini heart attack every time their phone vibrates tomorrow?

You aren't alone! I'm trying to focus on homework but realizing that this process starts in a few hours

Oh man I feel bad for you guys who have to study. I specifically took the day off work because I know I wouldn’t get ANYTHINGGGG done.

Literally made an account for this thread. Do they start sending everything out later in the day? And as far as I am understanding it. No news today is excellent news yes? 

[Kingassault 68]

Anyone know what time emails are sent out (historically)?

[apple_med 45]

From what I’ve seen from previous years, it’s generally 3-5pm Pacific time, 6-8pm EST

C’MON 51.67 OR ABOVE. C’MONNNNN.

[Kingassault 68]

Seems like 100 less BC applicants this year?

[cookiemonster177 2]

Would they still send out rejections on Wed or Thursday?

 

[Persephone 273]

I got my regrets at 5pm on the Monday last year. Sounds like they all go out Monday, but that's just a best guess.

[clever_smart_boy_like_me 179]

good luck everyone!

I am technically OOP, but have a PhD... " Applicants with a PhD conferred by the application deadline, supported Aboriginal applicants, and supported MD/PhD applicants will have their BC residency requirement waived"

Does anyone know if I would fall under IP or OOP in the interim stats?

Thanks!

I don't know for sure, but to me that sounds like you'd be counted as IP...especially since part of the appeal of having that status waived would be opening up the number of available interview spots for you. Only 81 OOP get invited every year. That would also make sense given that OOP Aboriginal students are included in that waiver as well.

On the interim stats it says Average AQ was 25.53 and the overall/adjusted GPA was 86.86. Does this mean that 86.86 gets you a 25.53 AQ score?? Or are there other variables involved.

That OOP TFR and GPA average increase... this is not looking good for me.

Actually,  % GPA for OOP went down to 91.44 from last year which is 92.something
