clever_smart_boy_like_me Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 It's crazy how slow this period of time from interview to decision day is... :| even with finals looming, it's hard not to be distracted by the schrodinger's med-student feeling I've got going on....

Agreed. Slow and agonizing. But at least I have Alberta’s results to look forward to in a couple days...I’m so nervous!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've so got this!! Deeps breaths and distraction for the next while is all we can do. Also, you're getting married this year, yeah?! That's something to look forward to regardless of the med outcomes! I'm trying to focus beyond decision day - trying to plan our super small wedding in June-ish (you can see how organized I am since we don't have a date yet haha).

I’ve been doing a lot of outdoor activities and exercises to keep my mind off of it! But it’s so hard! Lol I don’t got a date for my wedding either. Not even going to think about until after med results!! At least you know your’s is in June! That’s a great start :)!! Best of luck to you too!!

Only 18 days to go... I tend to do this thing where I think about something I remember doing that was about 18 days ago, and use that time period to gauge how quickly the next 18 days will fly by Almost there!!

SandraC2017 Posted May 2, 2018 Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 Has anyone been waitlisted at UBC before? If I'm waitlisted, I'm wondering if admin will tell me what position I am and the stats of the people before me (eg # IP vs OOP). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm waitlisted, I'm wondering if admin will tell me what position I am and the stats of the people before me (eg # IP vs OOP). Admissions will likely not inform you what position you are on the wait-list, nor the geography of folks placed in front or behind your rank order. Based on the high uptake of offers from UBC, I don't believe they 'over offer' on decision day, like other schools (eg. UofC). For example, last year only 19 and 24 IP and OOPs, respectively, declined offers before the 288 seats were filled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clever_smart_boy_like_me Posted May 2, 2018 Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 Do they tell you what site you're waitlisted for or is it just a random list and if a spot opens at a site you get put there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crust Posted May 2, 2018 Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 They don't tell you what spot in the waitlist you are or what site you're waitlisted for. They release offers for waitlist in waves throughout the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apple_med Posted May 2, 2018 Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 Ermmmmm we can’t pay the $1000 deposit by credit card? I’ll be eternally happy to even have to pay it, but that’s a little odd! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll be eternally happy to even have to pay it, but that’s a little odd! There’s a lot of things you can’t pay by credit card at ubc — it’s because of the service fees they have to pay on the money they collect. I believe they let you pay some things, like your tuition, on credit card now, but you have you to pay a fee of something like 1.5 or 2% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
