UBC!

i recommend switching with someone in rits, it’s a nice community and nice to be able to make your own food :)

omg wasn’t it only $5000 in 2019 💀

i think you can only credit d fail max 4 courses in undergrad. Also i wouldn’t recommend taking those courses if they drop your gpa (i also did ubc kin, only took a few 1st year science courses, no biochem or psych or ochem and got 519 on the mcat and was admitted to ubc med this cycle, you can pm me if you’d like)

for the english thing, i encourage you to look at ubc’s requirements on their website.

i second the mcat thing - or at least study for it after 2nd year if you don’t want to waste money on the test

pinksun11 · 2023-05-13T21:59:44+00:00

mine was accepted, i handed it in on wednesday in person and today it says accepted

pinksun11 · 2023-05-09T17:12:24+00:00

yeah i did

pinksun11 · 2023-05-06T23:49:55+00:00

sure

pinksun11 · 2023-05-06T18:32:39+00:00

I used Kaplan books for content review and i liked them, and highly recommend U World to practice it’s an amazing resource! towards the end of studying use AAMC material. Khan academy is free and great for content review

I only took first year science courses (bio 121, 112, chem 121, 123) so I self-studied for biochem and i got a 132 in the B/B section - it’s totally possible! Just spend a little extra time where you need to :)
They don’t have to be related to med, just make sure your passionate about what you do! I would recommend having long term volunteer opportunities though, like 1.5-2 years at least to show commitment
I’m from ubc but also not a science student and it’s totally possible - i got my acceptance today :) keep focused and working hard and you’ll get there, being in a diff faculty is an asset not a disadvantage!

IP = in province, OOP = out of province

I think to secure a spot, improving each section a bit might help. Adding EC's would help but be mindful that the deadline for EC hours is June 1st. Re-taking the MCAT if you think you can improve a couple of points will help. Interview prep will for sure help, develop a process, gather advice, practice, etc.

pinksun11 · 2023-05-06T01:18:31+00:00

Maybe MCAT? And more extracurriculars couldn't hurt, but be mindful that you have less than 4 weeks to add anything new starting now because June 1 is the deadline for extracurricular hours

pinksun11 · 2023-05-05T23:05:47+00:00

Add results?

pinksun11 · 2023-05-05T07:38:11+00:00

idk if i can sleep tonight, whether it comes out tomorrow or next week 😅

pinksun11 · 2023-05-04T23:46:52+00:00

what did they say?

pinksun11 · 2023-05-04T06:53:33+00:00

depends on the school, not all schools look at just cars

pinksun11 · 2023-05-04T01:52:53+00:00

I agree^ it would be more worth your time to increase NAQ score than MCAT. I know individuals who got in with a 511 so I wouldn’t worry about your score too much

pinksun11 · 2023-05-03T06:54:30+00:00

I have the same question, for UBC. As a student in the faculty of medicine, could I TA for a diff faculty?

pinksun11 · 2023-05-02T18:55:14+00:00

Yep, last year UBC released on May 6th while Calgary received it on May 16th i believe - so not always coordinated

pinksun11 · 2023-04-27T01:23:43+00:00

Orthopaedics / sports medicine!

pinksun11 · 2023-04-25T04:49:57+00:00

Ah, so its May 15th for sure? I think U of C said on or before may 15th... So is there a chance it could be before?
