Hey everyone, it's getting so close, congrats to elle and iris, so great that we will be seeing you at the end of the month! Hart16 - As for MSP I beleive as students we are all considered low income and should get premium assistance. I had a full time job where my MSP was paid for a couple of years ago and then became low income without any MSP coverage. I applied with the MSP (you can find all the info on their website) for preimum assistance and now I don't pay any monthly fees. It is based on the previous years tax return for proof of low income so if you are high income up till september I think you would have to wait till next year (or even the year after if you made more than 30,000 this year). You can also apply for temporary assistance. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions. I am not sure how it works for students coming to BC for the first time or for those who have never had thier own MSP before (i.e. they were covered by their parents). Kmb - I have a question about the text books. I saw in one of the letters that **** sent out that it is very important that we have our books the first day because we will have readings. When will the upper years be selling their books? I am also hoping to buy my books early to avoid the crazy bookstore line ups! I think a dinner in the next couple of weeks would be great! Lets make it happen! See you soon!

ME!

To everyone on the waitlist in the welcome letter they just sent out it says that if people do not register by july 15 or at least pay their registration deposit that their seat will be given to someone else. Hope that helps!

I'm soooo excited for everyone that has been accepted and for those that are soooo close! Can't wait to see you all in september!:yeah:

iris they said they made it through most of the waitlist last year so your chances are still pretty good, stay positive!

I'm in too! I can't wait to meet all of you in August!

congrats nomnom

Hoping it is soon, the suspense is killing me! Go Canucks Go!

I checked the UBC calender and UBC is closed Good Friday and Easter Monday, so we'll probably hear next week some time.

good luck everyone, all we can do now is wait!

When I called UBC admissions I didn't talk to the woman that was sending out invitations I talked to the admissions advisor. She said that she was told by the woman sending out the invitations that everyone would be notified by today but take this with a grain of salt as it is not direct information from the woman in sending the invitations. She said that if we did not hear any news today that we should contact admissions at the email address that I posted earlier. Hope this helps.

I have a degree from UBC but I am not currently a UBC student.

I got my interview at 10:30 !!!! WOOOHOOOO!! My interview is April 13th at 2. Congrats to everyone else who got an interview, stay postitive to those who haven't yet. I do remember them saying at the info session last year that they don't send out the invites alphabetically.

Yes, they said we would have a yes or no answer.

also, if we haven't heard by monday that we should email them @ [email protected]

Hey, I just talked to admissions, today isn't the last day, she said we would know if it is a yes or no by Monday at the latest and that she is off Fridays so either we will find out today, tommorrow or Monday. Hope that helps!

anyone else nervous?

congrats application!

Thanks so much for the info sanfran! :)

Looking forward to seeing my invite tommorrow!
