    I think it works that way too -- it was on the info slides. I had a friend who got in with an A- as an undergrad (no bachelors) (there's a few of them) so I'm simply

    That's an absolutely jaw-dropping application, Jen!! Here's to hoping you get in (and I'm sure you will). I didn't leave any questions blank either -- only if I already answered what the next...

    It would be good for sure. *cringes* I saw the new posts - HELLO guys - and I'm scared now because I truly think my extracurriculars/supplemental is so average compared to all of you with massive...

    heeey ? Yeah typically mid-late April/early May. And they can keep offering admissions until June! The lesson I learned recently: keep your hands busy and don’t check the SSC all the time

    Ah same!! Mine still says it’s “ready for an evaluation” on the SSC, but my CASPer results were already delivered to UBC. I can’t even enjoy Netflix without squirming in anxiety every now and

    Ack! That sounds like a SUPER long wait! And yeah pre-planning living arrangements is scary when you aren't given a solid decision yet. If you don't mind me asking, where are you coming

    Yeah it helps for sure lol Obviously the CASPer wasn’t healthcare-tailored so that those who don’t have specific clinical experience (like myself) aren’t at a disadvantage. If anything I think...

    Hi xo.ms and welcome!! ☺️ lol I personally think the CASPer was a waste of time — studying for it was pretty much moot considering the questions were written as straightforward and open-ended...
