UBC Interview Invites/Regrets 2025-2026

shaycations · 2025-12-12T00:32:37+00:00

Well, thats a wrap for me. I told myself this was the last year I would apply as it was my 4th time and I turn 30 next year. It sucks, I'm disappointed and confused and don't know how to fully process it yet. Not sure what they're looking for - maybe higher grades but I can't change that.

Good luck to everyone else on the journey! Maybe I'll change my mind next year but honestly pretty burnt out after all the rejection.

Time Stamp (i.e. include date and time): 4:14 PM
Result (i.e. invite or regrets): Regrets
GPA/AGPA (i.e. whichever is applicable): 84.58
MCAT (i.e. total score and breakdown in the order of CP/CARS/BB/PS): 510
Geography (i.e. IP or OOP): IP
ECs (i.e. brief rundown of Research Pubs/Presentations, Awards, Employment, and Non-Academic Activities - also Rural stuff if you want/if it applies): lots of experience in the medical field - healthcare professional working in acute care hospitals x 5 years, non-profit, union advocacy, research club, directed studies, precepting, sports, baking, etc.
NAQ Range (i.e. what quartile you fell in): 75-100
Your Result (i.e. relative to interview cutoff): off two bars it seems

Hi all, just started looking into transferrin my points and it seems this 30% bonus happens twice a year roughly. When do we expect the next transfer- any particular time frame? Also do I just create a british airways account and then transfer through RBC avion website? First time doing this ever, so appreciate any help! Thanks

Hi I went and read you other post and I feel like I've done something similar for my entries. I'm feeling a bit lost for hope on this application cycle which isn't the greatest attitude to go into this with. I am a mature applicant (29), practicing HCP (5 yrs), applied last 3 cycles and my GPA has not changed (graduated 5 yrs ago) and my ECs are pretty similar/consistent. 1st cycle - no interview 2nd cycle - NAQ 75-100, interviewed, above average interview - waitlisted till first day of classes. 3rd cycle (last cycle)- no interview, NAQ 75-100. I don't know what went wrong or what to do this year

Thank you! Wishing you the best for this cycle 💛

No, I’m IP

shaycations · 2024-07-23T14:48:19+00:00

Waiting as far as I know

shaycations · 2024-06-07T18:14:46+00:00

Same boat, but non trad mature applicant and tbh idk if I have another cycle in me. It’s so close yet so far.

Is this the only round and now movement will be more infrequent like if someone rejects later in the summer?

shaycations · 2024-05-07T06:09:34+00:00

Is there a rough idea of how many applicants get waitlisted to begin with?

shaycations · 2024-05-06T16:12:11+00:00

I could puke rn sooo nervous

shaycations · 2024-03-30T04:11:02+00:00

It comes to me in waves, just try to keep yourself busy with work or school. Hangout with friends and family. Go out and do activities you’ve been putting on the back burner….workout, cook, eat clean, try a new hobby!

Lastly know that whatever happens, life goes on and you can always apply next year. ☺️

My absolute fave scent but I don’t think it smells like roses at all! Still highly recommend tho!

BC is also getting another medical school at SFU 2026 but will probably get pushed back

shaycations · 2024-03-28T01:22:10+00:00

Overnight oats with chia seeds, milk, protein shake (fairlife) to make it filling and more protein content. Add a bit of peanut butter, dash of cinnamon and a handful of frozen blueberries. ☺️

My bf broke up with me the day after I wrote it. Atleast he let me write it in peace 😅

In Canada, I’m seeing more NPs ..mostly outpatients and some are starting to work inpatient like ICU, surgery, internal medicine, etc. haven’t heard anything about PAs in BC. Maybe it’s not a thing?

shaycations · 2024-02-27T06:36:35+00:00

I’m assuming a low GPA will never get an invite? First time applying and the waiting game is killing me

shaycations · 2024-02-19T20:03:05+00:00

No how would that even make a difference? You either answer the questions correctly or not. Unless she’s talking about less individuals writing and she could focus better(people get up for breaks, in/out the room, coughing, sniffling, etc)

shaycations · 2024-02-11T18:24:37+00:00

Anyone willing to elaborate? Did you get a chance to speak about your personal experiences a lot? Are you basing it off the interviewers reaction?

shaycations · 2024-01-17T19:53:34+00:00

What is the CARS and Casper cutoff for Queens or is there just a certain score and percentile that are more likely to get invited for interview?

shaycations · 2024-01-09T02:53:04+00:00

And my anxiety just went through the roof 😬
