From reading past forums does anyone know what day last year the first round of acceptances went out?

[Hayleerose13]

Last year the first wave of acceptances went out may 7th!

Last year they were a bit later, May 7th!

Yeah and the year before they were April 30th I think. Hopefully, they got a lot of complaints last year so they will do it on time this year.

Thanks everyone for your help answering all my questions ?

I would say one more thing to take into account for admission offers is that the due date for transcripts for in progress courses is June 15th. So potentially offers will need to wait until everyone submits their final grades.

I know I'm waiting for my school to post mine so I can submit my final grades.

I'm pretty sure everyone will get conditional offers since for most schools grades aren't due until the first or second week of May. As long as you submit your final transcripts before the deadline, even after you're accepted, you should be fine.

Just like @Jentheaspiringnurse mentioned, the offers would be out last week of April or first week of May! I believe the deadline to accept those conditional offers would be June 15th as well ? When I spoke to UBC about my classes in progress, they simply told me to send those transcripts in when marks come out at the end of the semester!

Seconded ^^ this is what I know about, too.

So yes expect conditional offers to be sent out around late April/early May and just send in your completed grades end-sem.

Does anyone know - if you’re still in progress in a course, like myself in working on the A&P, would we have less of a chance, or do they not consider this in acceptance/rejection unless you don’t finish it by June 15?

Good question!

I'm not completely sure of course, but in my experience I don't think you'll have less of a chance! I.e. when I transferred from SFU to UBC FNH in first year, they still offered me a conditional acceptance (I was only required to make sure they got my final grades/full transcripts once they were released).
