apple_med Posted May 8, 2018 Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 Oh mannnn, this day is coming up fast. I know there was a thread created for posting interview invites/rejections. I suppose we should use the thread at the top of the forum to post acceptances/waitlists/rejections instead of using this thread or creating a new one?

It’ll be so much less burden on my family. The waitlist movement is small at UBC so it’s kinda like a yes or no here, which makes me even more anxious.

Lothrandir Posted May 8, 2018 Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 Oh man I kinda didn't want this week to come. I've been here thrice before unfortunately to no good end, and still remember everyone of my rejection. I've been obsessing over my interview over the last three months (discussed this obsession with some of you too ) , and the more I think the more I believe I should be prepared for a fourth rejection. I was happy after my interview this year because I did better than my last three attempts, but not that significantly better to make me confident of success. I should be extremely lucky to hit the waitlist with my 81% . Worst is i'll find it out the result while i'll be training new employees at work.

BCGirl Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 Is everyone anticipating the same structure as past years for offers? Rejections in the morning and offers in the afternoon? Regardless of what happens on Friday, I think we can all be pretty freaking proud of the work that we've done to lead us to this point. Even to be given the chance to chase our dream is something not a lot of people get. Fingers crossed for all of you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rejections in the morning and offers in the afternoon? Last year rejections were sent around 2:00. The year before it was around 10. So it's anyone's guess as to when we'll find out. I do think they'll stick to the same format (rejections, followed by waitlists followed by offers). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apple_med Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 Ok, this is starting to get real. Tomorrow is going to be tortorous.

golden retriever Posted May 10, 2018 Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 Good luck everyone!! I remember all 5 of my decision days- the first 4 were tears of sadness, rejection and disappointment, and finally last year, tears of joy. Whatever the result, you've come farther than you were last year. Feel free to PM for advice if the results aren't in your favour, I've been through the ups and downs so I'd be happy to help however I can.

Omg, Greek takeout sounds amazing. I’m gonna head to the gym now, then eat dinner at home. If the weather holds up, I’ll take my dog for a run at the park. Then probably gonna drink and watch Netflix till I pass out. Lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
