Lmed31 Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 Hey guys, Do we know when the decision day is this year?? I think last couple years have been Wed May 11 and Fri May 12th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCGirl Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 Oh man, even just seeing the words "decision day" made me break out into a cold sweat. Haha. I think it's likely it will be the week of the 7th. Would seem odd if they waited until the third week of May? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butterfly_ Posted March 11, 2018 Report Share Posted March 11, 2018 I definitely hope it’s earlier than later. Of the entire application process, I find this waiting period the most excruciating. Best of luck to all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koopatroopa Posted March 13, 2018 Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 It's going to be a long two months... It's my first year applying, and this process is so long and so exhausting! All of us deserve a vacation in May regardless of the outcomes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

this_process_is_death Posted April 12, 2018 Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 So it looks like May 11 is the reaping. 4 weeks to go!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanut.socks Posted April 12, 2018 Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 Do all acceptances/rejections/waitlists usually come out on the same day? Aka will everything come out on Friday May 11 this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand why they might have to stagger them, but I wish they'd all just go out at once. So much nail-biting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butterfly_ Posted April 12, 2018 Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 Just under 30 days to go...I’m so anxious . UBC is my top choice and I’ll literally fall to my knees, thank the gods, and start crying if I get an acceptance. Wishing everyone good news in May 11!!

So much nail-biting. Although the worst for me last year was sleeping the night before, my routine on decision day seemingly reduced nail-bitting: mute all text, facebook, snap (etc.), and non-work email notifications for the day. Be super efficient at work to keep your mind occupied, come home and check the forums to make sure notifications have been sent, and then take a brief moment to appreciate all the hard work, dedication, and fortune just to be considered for admission... and then login to OAS and accept fate. I mean, or you could just play fortnite all day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a bit of netflix/podcasting to distract me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your interview decision was sent in an email, so, seems like it follows that this would be too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popetopus Posted April 12, 2018 Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 Emails are sent as well. The email should be simultaneous with your OAS status being updated. Just a heads up that the decision last year was in the subject title of the email, for those who may be wanting to delay reading it until after!

"We plan to send offers of admission starting May 11. Another email with more information about the offers will be sent closer to that time." That's from the email today, to me that implies an email (something being sent). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things can always change this year, so don't come after me with a pitchfork if it isn't the same this year lol. But yes, last year the email subject for rejection was "UBC Undergrad Admissions: Regrets After Interview" and for acceptance something like: "UBC Undergrad Admissions: Offer of Admission - VFMP" (or whatever site you are offered acceptance at). 6 minutes ago, pekingduck said: Thanks! I may not have access to either OAS or email because the site might be blocked in the country I'm travelling to.... Last year there was a 2-week deadline for the initial round of offers to accept and pay the deposit. Hopefully you may have access to internet during this time, or designate someone you can reliably communicate with to act on your behalf? Email admissions about it, I'm sure they've dealt with this scenario previously! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year regrets came out around 2 PM PDT, wait-list around 2:30, and offers near 4. However the previous year, decision day followed the same order with offers out around 11:30 AM. It's really anyone's guess, so plan to fill your entire day with activities to maintain sanity! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koopatroopa Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 Good luck to everyone who is studying for finals! And also congrats to everyone graduating (woot!)!! Also, not sure about the mental health aspect of this; but I find reading all aspects of this forum help me to stay sane. It's both exciting and scary to know what hopefully lies ahead for a lot of us in medicine (even if we don't get in this year... here's to next!) Netflix is good too.
