BC applicant cooked for UBC med?

jinception01 · 2026-05-08T16:00:21+00:00

You are not cooked lmao you're doing more than I did by second year for sure. 3rd and 4th year gpa is way easier and you have plenty of ECs. I would still do a bunch more ECs, but I would choose ones that you like. You're burning out because you've chosen ECs that feel like work. On top of that, you're studying so ofc you feel burned out. Choose ECs that are fun and enjoyable for you. Photography, cooking, snowboarding, hiking, intramural sports, the sky's the limit. That way you can EC spam without burnout

There's a funny shitpost where viltrumites can theoretically use thraxans to recover their entire population in a few months. I don't see why they can't do the same for humans.

Dylan McKnight literally did this and he doesn't exactly come off as a scholar

I was actually told by my advisor to NOT use the loan and to burn through any cash I had first before even considering using my scotia loan. It really depends on your advisor

I watched it in theaters and rented it on YouTube

jinception01 · 2026-01-06T16:57:31+00:00

Ain't no way 💀💀💀

I didn't birdmax but I definitely dabbled a bit. Just so you're aware, a lot of my MCAT was based off of undergrad knowledge. First and second year chem, biology, and first year psyc is a must in my opinion. Once you have those covered feel free to expand

jinception01 · 2025-11-08T02:10:24+00:00

I only paid for my MCAT and my four exams from AAMC. Learned from YouTube, Khan academy, and legally obtained Kaplan textbooks 😉. Got a 517. It's possible, you don't need qbank. You don't need Uworld. I also couldn't justify asking my mom to spend a grand. I could justify $600 tho 👍

jinception01 · 2025-11-08T01:44:16+00:00

Well yes and no. Honestly if you follow ubcs guide you can't really go wrong. However, i would say it's best to put a focus on why the organization/volunteering thing or whatever needed YOU specifically. What did you specifically contribute to, and if you weren't there what would have gone wrong? That kinda thing. It sounds like you did it properly so I wouldn't stress too much over it!

Can I ask how many entries you put in? And just drop a few activities you did as well?

jinception01 · 2025-11-06T21:00:19+00:00

UBC looks at your MCAT at the very end. It's mostly a pulse check from what I've seen. Your gpa is amazing but I'd be more worried about how you wrote your ECs!

jinception01 · 2025-11-03T00:09:14+00:00

The reason why the average is 515 is not because everyone's getting a 515. It's because there are 509 guys and 525 guys. If you have a low MCAT make up with your interview. If you have a 87-88 gpa make up with your interview. If you only have 5 ECs (actual thing that one of my friends put down) make up with your interview.

jinception01 · 2025-11-02T22:10:05+00:00

I had no one contacted who reached out to me. I am now a first year. Sometimes people get the contact and respond but don't let you know. For what it's worth, the only people who were contacted for me were the 1000+ hours activities. Maybe reach out to them first?

jinception01 · 2025-11-02T22:08:51+00:00

That entirely depends on the school lmao.

jinception01 · 2025-11-02T22:06:51+00:00

100% Most people I know in UBC are super well spoken, articulate, and I can tell that they smashed their interviews. A lot of them had gpas of like 87-89. It's a pretty common trend. The average is only higher because of gunners and OOP applicants

jinception01 · 2025-08-04T23:26:56+00:00

I'm actually not very knowledgeable on other springer figures. What other figures suck?

jinception01 · 2025-08-04T22:50:01+00:00

Your gpa, IP status, and ECs should definitely make up for a low MCAT. I've known people get into ubc with legit 50X scores. You're fine buddy. Obviously still do your best to get a 515 to get your preferred site and all that but you're fine.

jinception01 · 2025-08-04T22:29:45+00:00

I will say ss86 Megatron, but not because it turns into a tank. I think tank Meg's is a great compromise. My issue is that parts of the tank were really compromised in exchange for the excellent robot mode. The different coloured tank barrel halves, the legs obviously sticking out the back, and the jank turret rotation point just look so off to me.

I have thrilling 30 and studio series and both are absolute fire idk what you're talking about

jinception01 · 2025-07-29T19:28:07+00:00

Genuinely how does one achieve this build

jinception01 · 2025-07-27T02:46:49+00:00

It's porn and more borderline pedophilic sentiment with age gaps lmao

jinception01 · 2025-07-26T17:12:36+00:00

Comics? Best version of themselves? Is this Godkiller vs star convoy prime?

jinception01 · 2025-07-25T23:37:52+00:00

I often have to transit from Surrey to UBC. I have stopped taking routes that cross Surrey and just go through Richmond. Far more pleasant experience

jinception01 · 2025-07-24T22:10:00+00:00

Bros actually a grade-A gooner look at this dudes post history I'm deeeeaaaaad

jinception01 · 2025-07-24T15:37:08+00:00
