We hope you are enjoying your summer.
As we are fast approaching the August 15th early application deadline we would like to remind you:
Transcripts, supporting document, and CareCard documents receipt statuses are updated within 48 hours as they are received by our office. Please keep in mind there is a one day delay between when transcripts arrive at our mailing address and when they make it to our physical location. It is also important to enter the institution(s) on the transcript page so we can update the transcript as it arrives in our office. Please do not contact our office for the status of your documentation(s). You can check the status by logging onto the online application system.
Remember to release your MCAT scores using the AAMC ThX system. UBC is not part of the AMCAS system. Applications with missing MCAT scores will be made ineligible. MCAT scores will be uploaded 2-3 times a week.
For those who plan to or have already submitted an application for the early submission deadline please make sure all your supporting documents which include application fees, all transcripts, proof of BC residency (if applicable), and proof of name change (if applicable) are received by the Admissions Office by August 15 12pm PDT. As a reminder, applicants who meet the early deadline and who are invited for an interview will receive their interview invitation letter and will be able to book an interview one day earlier than applicants who have submitted after this deadline.
Note: WES/ICES evaluations and MCAT scores do not have to be received by August 15 to meet the early deadline but both must arrive by October 1.
We also recommend you read our help guide before starting on your application as it provides helpful guidance about how to include information in your application.
We wish you all the best!
