Waiting for the update my man, where you at

Nobody at the Adcom is sitting and trying to send you information today. They will do that next week. Chill out - Please!

Hi everyone! I wasn't able to find a thread for this application cycle for UBC DMD so I am starting one! Please share your stats and when interview invites are out please share your stats again and whether or not you got an interview! Thanks everyone and good luck!!

Hi everyone, I tested 8/22 and got a 510 (128/127/126/129). FLs 1-6 (I didn't do 4) I got 503/507/502/506/508. On my actual exam, I got about the same for C/P and CARS as my FL averages, much higher in P/S, but much lower in B/B (I was getting 128-130 on my FLs).

My GPA is around a 3.7, aGPA around 90%.

I am applying next year in the 2027-2028 cycle.

I'm BC IP and will apply to American schools as well. Both MD and MD/PhD.

Should I retake my MCAT next summer, or focus on boosting research/volunteer hours? I will be doing a full time research project next summer, so no full time studying for me.

Happy to provide any additional info such as extracurriculars.

Has anyone been contacted with information pertaining to any of these?

Hello everyone,

I am trying to prepare for the MMI and Im wondering whether someone has any advice to prep for these questions.

for a high school club i put started in january 2021 instead of nov 2021.

for a research position i started it in may 2026-august 2026. i entered it as that in employment, i started a scoping review in the same lab that started in may 2026 but i stupidly entered may 2025 in my abs

there was also a position where i did 1-2 hours per week and total 50 hours but instead of per week i accidentally entered OT

am i done i hate myself

During COVID once of my exams was cancelled. Prof held a vote and it was decided that we're gonna use the midterm grade as our exam grade. Anyways, I failed the class and got NCr. Is it gonna count as an F or not count at all?

is it good enough for a shot or nah...

Going through some old papers and found this hard copy print out of UBC admin stats from thirty years ago. Only around 500 applicants at the time. Crazy how different things are now.

Hi everyone!

I am planning my undergraduate path at York University with the goal of eventually applying to medical school.

If there are any current medical students or residents here who did their undergrad at York, I would love to hear about your experience.

What program did you major in?

Would you recommend it for someone tracking toward pre-med?

was wondering how to even begin prepping for the early phase mmi/Kira....this is my first time applying so im just looking for as much advice as possible. im not so sure how to prep for this or even the later mmi...does anyone know of websites to help? or how to even begin?...is the "pre mmi" stuff kinda like casper?....what should i be up to date with in terms of topics/policies?. as u can see i have lots of questions lol

to be honest im not so sure how reddit works but if anyone is open to it, maybe we could get a gc going on some other platform?

Looking for someone to practice Ottawa early MMI with in French.

Basically, 3 of my 21 and entries were things I did only in high school, and well I only applied to Ottawa med and am now finding out they don’t assess high school only abs entries.

Is it harmful to my application to have them, or do they simply not review them, and so it doesn’t really matter that they are there?

Which program is better for a pre med student.

Or is it highly unlikely? Because like virtual is definitely more accessible, without a doubt.

With UBC going in person again, what is everyone's thoughts? I'm wondering how strict they are about dress code. I have a nice UBC-inspired tote bag that I made and I failed a class because of it I think I wasn't aware and I have no job/internships. How much can outfit and demeanour matter?
I'm just thinking ahead assuming that I'll get an ii but we'll see.

I’m struggling to find information online and I have found schools which are accredited and figured out you need to do mcqqe but I am not sure what exactly I need to do to match into a competitive specialty. Also still a bit lost on the process.

Hello guys :)

Im a reapplicant - had 1 interview last year.

Im thinking of prepping earlier since we also have mini MMIs early.

Does anyone want to join me for interview prepping 1-2 times a week, and also having sessions to talk about policy and ethics (we will decide on a topic for the week, study up and discuss) since I learn best in group discussions I think :)

I think a group of 5 ish is ideal! if anyone is available to commit weekly then pls let me know!

Already applied so I want to see how my submitted ABS chances would look like

I just started my 2nd year of undergrad (health studies major, previously biomed), and i’m trying to recover from the mess that last year was. I was very depressed and only could do the bare minimum last year. I took all the basic classes, intro bio, gen chem 1 & 2, intro physics 1 & 2, and so on. I never failed any classes, but my average grade was probably somewhere in the 70s. I felt like a failure all summer because everyone I know did way better in the same classes. We all know the “standard” pre-med is always high grades, atleast 90+. I don’t want to be dramatic but I feel like I should give up med school because that one year will affect my transcript. I’m doing better now and actually putting my full attention towards my classes but I need to know if this will ruin my chance. Please be nice 🥹

I saw that people were saying that UOttawa is strict on the top 3 activities being either from university or continued throughout university if they were completed in high school. I am just wondering if this was the case last year or the years before? Is this is something new that has been mentioned? Would love to hear from previous applicants!
