Why UBC medical school
It’s that time again when our office is prepping for the upcoming admissions notifications and as most of you know, on May 15th final decisions including offer letters for our program will go out. Whilst it is always a day of mixed emotions, we will be excited to announce the UBC MD Class of 2017! […]
MED 2016 Class is Full
Orientation for MED 2016 started today. Best wishes to the class of MED 2016 as you start on your path to medicine! Since the class is now finalized, we notified the few remaining applicants on the waitlist. The news was probably not unexpected to most of you. Knowing for sure that no more spots will […]
Waitlist Shortened
We shortened the waitlist today. It may seem like bad timing due to the holiday weekend, but we know that a lot of you have been waiting on this for a while and we wanted to let everyone know as soon as possible. We also thought that having an extra day to be with supportive […]

Receiving Regrets
Unfortunately, regrets happen. Our program is hard to get into and there really just aren’t enough spots for everyone. You can be smart, you can be nice, you can be caring and involved and good at the MCAT – you can be everything we seem to be looking for and still not get in. Please […]
Being Waitlisted
Welcome to the next installment in our series of posts about the offer process. Today we focus on the waitlist. Getting waitlisted means the wait continues, unfortunately. Being in limbo is tough and we sympathize with applicants in this position. After the first round, we try to shorten the length of the offer rounds in […]

Once you stop hyperventilating, you can log into the online application system and read the Acceptance Package Information (there will be a new tab called Offer where you can […]
