I don’t think the geography influences the ranked list (aside from the max number of OOP offers they can send) I think the reasoning is that OOP people who got interviews will have higher than average stats so they'll more likely have higher ranking on the waitlist? I don't know if that checks out, my brain is tired, so I'd have to think about it more. I think the one flaw in this reasoning is that the OOP quota is smaller...but then again I don't know how UBC deals with waitlisted OOP applicants on the rank list.

Also OOP applicants are more likely to be offered spots in other med schools (more competitive applicants) and they often end up taking spots closer to home. If you look at the UBC stats for the past few years, more OOP applicants have rejected offers than IP applicants. To be clear, geography does not impact an applicant’s position on the waitlist!

Chaplin 40 Posted May 11, 2018 Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 Can't sleep. Going over two confused blundrish sentences I said to the actor during the acting station. Wishing the mods hadn't removed the post interview discussion thread for this cycle. I'm just going to work out. apple_med 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
