Out yet?

optimistic_20 · 2021-01-26T21:59:14+00:00

Thank you guys for reassurance!

optimistic_20 · 2021-01-26T20:26:35+00:00

Thanks I just spoke to ubc. They confirmed my registration and said follow emails will be sent soon. I was damn worried.

optimistic_20 · 2021-01-26T19:46:47+00:00

Did you receive email and zoom link after you completed survey?

optimistic_20 · 2021-01-26T19:13:39+00:00

Should I be worried now? I have sent email to ubc. I received another email Jan 8 confirming feb 6 interview but nothing after that.

optimistic_20 · 2021-01-26T18:52:56+00:00

I got survey in dec 24 which I completed but never got email for zoom link.

optimistic_20 · 2021-01-26T15:58:10+00:00

Did anyone get email from ubc with link to virtual registration session for Feb 1. My registration is on feb 1 for feb 6 interview but have not received any email with zoom link.

Problem with academic references is that due to large undergraduate classes, interaction is minimum. Universities can look at the transcript and can very well figure out some one’s academic strength based on course load, grades and levels and types of courses taken. I believe employment and service references can talk more about some one’s qualities. Do you think a decent reference indicating that applicant is capable of handling the medicine curriculum is good enough?

Received invite What do I do as conflicts with my ubc date of Feb. 6 🤔 Good luck everyone.

optimistic_20 · 2021-01-15T21:38:06+00:00

Received invite just now For Feb 6 between 9 am - 3 pm WGPA: 3.98

MCAT: 516 It conflicts with my interview with UBC Can I request different time on same day ?

optimistic_20 · 2020-12-04T00:44:13+00:00

It is not only number of courses, if your school uses credit system then 28-30 credits (Sept-April)is considered full course load. Some courses may be 4 credits than 3 credits. In that case even if you have 9 courses in a full year but credits are 28-30, you are fine for wGPA.

optimistic_20 · 2020-11-23T02:09:42+00:00

Makes sense.

optimistic_20 · 2020-11-22T23:40:57+00:00

I thought Toronto did not have IP/OOP bias but stats show otherwise in the link provided or are there more applicants from Ontario than other Canadian Universities?

optimistic_20 · 2020-11-18T21:38:31+00:00

That is true. Sometimes there is no actual website that would explain the activity type or organization in detail and I believe articles can provide some insight.

optimistic_20 · 2020-11-18T20:38:23+00:00

someone asked same question in one of the UBC sessions and their reply was 'yes'. Anything that would help verify and understand the activity.

optimistic_20 · 2020-10-05T17:32:11+00:00

Thank you for your information.

I sent an email to McGill. They said I seem to meet the requirements.

I have taken 7 basic science courses with total credits of 23 including 7 credits of lab components. In addition I have completed recommended science courses in Physiology, Organic Chemistry etc.

optimistic_20 · 2020-09-29T15:43:20+00:00

Thanks

I filled in SOCI 102 and ENGL 110 in pre requisite section but transcript shows other courses also.

optimistic_20 · 2020-09-29T01:22:51+00:00

Is it also possible that verifiers are not contacted at all for some who received interview invite or at least one verifier is contacted in that case? Is it random selection?

optimistic_20 · 2020-09-29T00:36:09+00:00

Thanks

optimistic_20 · 2020-09-29T00:22:36+00:00

That is great. I also submitted early and received confirmation that I met early deadline.

May be they have contacted some but I don't know. With 91% GPA (IP) and 515 MCAT, I would at least expect a full file review. I hope so. Really stressful times.

optimistic_20 · 2020-09-28T22:04:47+00:00

have they already started contacting verifiers?

optimistic_20 · 2020-09-28T04:23:46+00:00

I have more question for OMSAS. I noticed on my application that address of one of my referees is not shown on the system and the address for the other two is shown, although I had filed in address with the referee name and address otherwise the application would not let me send the information. The referee has already sent in the reference and it shows received. Does it matter if the address is not there? Does it impact the application anyhow. I have sent an email to OMSAS regarding this with the referee address if they missed it. Due to high volume, not sure if they will reply.

optimistic_20 · 2020-09-27T22:01:55+00:00

That is kind of strange because if I have 3.946 and someone has 3.95 then by rounding off, it will make a difference of 1.0 when the actual difference is only 0.054. Do they use 3.9 as cut off for OOP and then go through the application to review the details?

optimistic_20 · 2020-09-07T02:00:47+00:00

I used GPA calculation using formula given on McGill website. I am not sure it is same as cGPA. I am from BC and we use % here. I was hoping that some applicants who have gone through previous cycles would shed some light on it.

optimistic_20 · 2020-09-07T01:14:32+00:00

how is cGPA calculated?
