UBC Pharmacy Applications 2017/2018 - Class of 2022

[blamac]

Also got an email at the same time - good luck everyone!
And don't worry if you didn't get accepted this year, if they somehow accepted me I'm sure you can get accepted too next time
By the way, anyone else a philosophy major? No just me? Okay.

[Katharris]

I got my acceptance this morning! Congrats to those that have also been accepted, looking forward to meeting you in the fall! To those who are still waiting, don’t lose hope, this was my second time applying, persistence is key! 

[fluctus]

I got it too!! See you all in Sept! 

[Jjrun]

For those of you who got accepted, when do we pay the 2000$ deposit ? I accepted my offer but they haven’t told me to pay it yet

Same, I accepted my choice 2 and switched over to pharm and haven't paid anything.

You have to log into UBC SSC portal admission to accept. 

I know some people paid the 2000 already :(( is it a glitch in the system?

Did you accept a choice 2 program prior to the pharmacy ?

[JJ27]

I received the initial acceptance email as well but when i log onto the SSC portal it hasn’t been updated so anyone else having the same issue? 

[justastudent12]

I am also having thay exact issue! I sent an email to the pharm undergrad email asking about it. I’ll post the reply/solution but probably won’t get one until Monday. If anyone else finds a solution let me know :)

the deposit fee issue or the ssc?

The SSC issue

[reetmeet]

I was just able to accept my admission on SSC without any prompts popping up about paying the deposit fee.... Now when I look at course registration for Winter 2018, there is a red bar near the top reminding me that I still owe the $2k but I can't seem to find where I can pay the fee... My financial summary says I have no outstanding fees. Anyone else having this problem?

[Jjrun]

My ssc now shows the fee and it says it’s due June 21! I also c the red bar on my registration and my registration time but .. how do we know what courses to register for??

You'll get plenty of emails from the faculty concerning registration and requirements, etc etc. so make sure to pay attention to those.

In terms of registration, you just need to pick one of 6 standardized timetables found here: https://courses.students.ubc.ca/cs/main?pname=sttspec&tname=sttspec&dept=PHRMD&spec= 1

The only difference between them is which lab/tutorial sections you'll be attending because it's usually two of the three blocks, as well as the timing of some of your assessments such as lab exams. You'll have all your other classes with the full cohort of 224 students so there's no difference there

[VolleyBro]

Did anyone receive a confirmation email after they both accepted and paid the $2000 deposit online? Because I didn't...

Also, when does course registration start for pharmacy? :/

 

Thanks again! 

 

[varon119]

I am wondering if anyone is still waiting to hear back 

[karen9898]

hello congrats to those who got accepted and good luck to those still waiting!! just wanted to know if you guys had any tips for the interviews for next years intake as well as what your GPAs were around? Any advice would be super helpful thanks!!!

[rumraisin]

Received admission offer today. Looks like another round of offers, as I've heard other people receiving news today too.

[varon119]

@rumraisin I am wondering when is your deadline to accept? Thanks.

They gave me until Friday the 15th. So a week from the initial email.

[JJ27]

Does anyone know the start date for the program? Is it September 3rd? On the website it says most programs start that day but doesn’t specify! 

Also, has anyone received their admissions package in the mail yet?

[Leyan]

Hello, I'm wondering what would be considered a competitive GPA for an OOP student? I'm OOP and currently have a 3.5 GPA. I have one year left of undergrad so have the possibility of improving my GPA in the fall semester... Would I have reasonable chances if I apply? What grades do successful OOP students typically have? 

Thanks!
