Offers 2021 – Round 5 Sent & Waitlist Shortened

By Admissions on Jun 18, 2021 We sent the fifth round of offers today; congratulations to everyone who received an offer! The deadline for this round is Wednesday, June 23 at 12:00 p.m. (noon) PDT, and we will send the next round sometime after this deadline. The waitlist was shortened today. Although it’s never easy to receive disappointing news, we hope that being informed of the final decision on their application will help applicants who are no longer on the waitlist move on to their future plans. Waitlisted applicants who did not receive an application status update today are still on the waitlist. While there is a chance that a position will open up in the class, it is best for these applicants to think about their future plans as well. Permalink | No Comments

2021/2022 Application Cycle Open

By Admissions on Jun 08, 2021

The UBC MD Undergraduate Program Application is now OPEN! The application will close September 15, 2021 at 12:00 PM (noon) Pacific Time. The early application deadline is August 3, 2021 at 12:00 PM (noon) Pacific Time.

Early Application Deadline Explanation

Applicants who submit all required documents and fees by August 3, 2021 at 12:00 PM (noon) Pacific Time and who are invited to interview, will receive their interview invitations a day early. We inform applicants whether or not they have met the early deadline, so it can be a good way to receive confirmation that your application is complete in terms of the items that are required by the September 15 application deadline. If you find out that something is missing from your application (like a transcript that never arrived, or your proof of BC residency), you would hopefully have enough time to submit the missing item in time for the regular application deadline. Meeting the early deadline does not give you extra points or any other advantages in how your application is evaluated.

Northern and Rural Virtual Panel Interviews

By Admissions on Jun 02, 2021

For the 2021-2022 application cycle, applicants who complete the Northern and Rural Training Section (NRTS) of the application and who successfully qualify for an MMI interview may be invited to participate in a virtual Northern and Rural Panel Interview. This panel interview will be an additional opportunity for applicants to express their interest in rural medicine, highlight their rural experiences and connections and speak to their suitability for the northern and rural seats in the MD Undergraduate Program. These 20-minute virtual panel interviews are currently scheduled to take place the weekend after the MMI Interviews.
