If you are wondering about your transcript or other document status, please read the following notes:
1. UBC Transcripts– As long as you have marked the box on the Other Information page to authorize us to access your UBC transcript electronically, you can consider your UBC transcript received by the deadline even if your UBC transcript status says “Not Received.” We may not finish updating these transcript statues until after the application deadline.
2. Transcripts carried forward from your 2014/2015 file– As long as you have marked the box on the Additional Information page asking us to transfer your transcripts to your new file, you can consider your carried-forward transcripts received by the deadline even if the status for these transcripts says “Not Received.” We may not finish updating these transcript statuses until after the application deadline. You must submit a new copy of any transcript that has changed since you last submitted it.
3. Other Transcripts– We normally update transcript statuses within 24 hours of the transcript arriving at our physical location. There is an approximate one-day delay between our mailing address and our physical location, but transcripts are on time if they arrive at the mailing address by the deadline. At least one entry for each institution must be started on the Transcripts page of the application in order for us to update the status of your transcript.
4. BC Residency– As long as you have uploaded a scan/photo of your BC Care Card or BC Services Card by the August 17 or September 15 deadline, you can consider your proof of residency to be received on time, even if your BC residency status says “Not Received.” We may not change your proof of BC residency status until we evaluate your file in the fall. As a reminder, proof of BC residency will not be carried forward to your new file.
5. MCAT – Please complete the MCAT page of your application and release your scores to us using the THx system. UBC is not part of the AMCAS system. We are currently updating MCAT scores twice per week.
