on the down side, it's probably another week of waiting. oh well, try to enjoy the sunshine, everyone! I'm personally going out and getting drunk tonight.

Yeah but unfortunately all of the declines have been OOP so it won't affect us!

Sorry for the delay guys!! Extremely extremely happy to report I was accepted off the wait list today! I am IP and this is my second application. Offer is for pg but kelowna is my first choice. Hang in there guys and good luck to everyone still on the wait list!!

Hey guys... been refreshing my e-mail all day until I left the house to play some ball. Just got home and got an acceptance from UBC!

OOP
cGPA 3.88
MCAT 38S
average ECs

completely elated and will be attending!

It just looks like there will be very little movement for the IP waitlist this year. Man, I guess I just got a little too hopeful because of last year's huge movement. Oh well, I guess it's time to plan for next year and beyond. There is no point checking here obsessively anymore. Good luck everyone and may your dreams come true!

With a 90% cGPA, if you redo your MCAT and get 31-33 you're pretty much guaranteed for next cycle. But hopefully you end up getting in this year!

I got an offer to my 2nd choice last week, and accepted, but haven't received anything yet about my 1st choice, even though I believe I am on the waitlist.

Either that or im just grasping at straws to stay hopeful!

Chin up folks! It ain't ovah till its ovah and even when it's over for this year, that's another year you've got to NOT have to give your life over to the rigors of med. Pros and cons, friends.
