I know they look at the admission average after the term is over..that means that course grades from the summer sessions wont count towards it right?
If you mean summer session 2011 then yeah, it wont count towards it.

Just submitted my application! I am so relieved now. Phew!

Did anyone else get an email from the UBC undergraduate admissions office saying that the Change of degree/program application needs additional information to proceed (the online pharmacy application) even when the pharmacy application is already submitted?

I'm not sure if they are just trying to remind me that I also need to fill out the pharmacy application after the change of degree/program form..or something else?:confused:

To the person above:

They are just reminding you because you probably filled out your change of degree a bit later than most. If you've filled it out, you should be okay.

Good luck! :)

my ref letters + pcat scores now say received, if anyones eagerly awaiting confirmation, check now :)

My PCAT score still says "not received." Oh well, maybe tomorrow will change... =/

When did you submit them

When did you submit them

one ref letter was submitted approximately a month ago and the other was just submitted on feb 28th. PCAT i suppose was done back in september.

It may be that they are going by last name (mine starts w/ a B)

nice to meet u all! first time applying to UBC,,,,just wondering if anyone knows wut out of province applicants usually need to get in?? i heard its alot higher than BC applicants :S

I submitted both of my reference letters on the same day. It says received for one and not received for the other...?

Did you send them by mail or in person? If you sent them by mail, I'm guessing that maybe your letters were delivered in separate batches?

I guess these absurdities that we've been seeing may be due to the Faculty's ongoing sorting of all of our documents. I'm hoping that everything's going to look more and more normal as we approach March 15th... =)

hi everyone. new to this forum. if anyone is interested, both my pcat score and references have been received. i wrote the january, 2011 pcat and dropped off my references on Feb 25th in the box. good luck to all the applicants this year :)

what is your last name start with?
thanks

illmatic?! :) Nas fan>?

yes sir! :D


my last name starts with B.

do they usually go by last name when updating

do they usually go by last name when updating

it's quite possible. it seems like at least 2 of us with last names starting with B have updated checklists.

I submitted them in person. I am scared because I had my name on one of the envelopes and not on the other one. Dont ask me why, lol! I dont know what I was thinking. Could that have anything to do with it?

I just checked and found out that both the references AND the pcat were "received"! =) My last name starts with "N," but I'm also re-applying, which may explain why I got the pcat status update earlier.

Actually, I also submitted them in person, and I also didn't put my name on one of them (the other was sent by e-mail from my referee), so you would be okay since your name is on the form itself! =)

Mine are all received now as well :)
last name "L"

hopefully you guys all get interview offers! Good luck and feel free to ask me stuff once you get your invites!

i want


on a related note.. i just checked my status.. last name M.. they have my pcat.. took in august.. but my reference letters havent been received..

each letter was in a stamped envelope (could have put in mailbox and would have sent) and i put them both in a xpresspost envelope with tracking and it was received by them 2 days later.. hopefully they have it

First of all I LOL at the forever alone meme.

Second, I am in first year pharmacy as well now, and would also be available to help you guys.

:thumbup: good luck folks

Hey guys, first time SDN user, long time stalker

I looked at all the past UBC Pharmacy threads, and I think I might have a moderate chance at getting an interview. After getting a scary mark on the PCAT, I'm really working my butt off for a really competitive average.

What worries me though, is whether the 92% admissions average for first year science would also translate to an increased admissions average for UBC pharmacy. Or would the increased seats just cancel it out?

What do you guys think?

My last name is mid-alphabet and as of yesterday everything was checked off. I mailed my references in mid february via xpresspost and they already had my PCAT score from my previous application though.

Note that generally only 1/3 of your first year pharmacy class would consist of students who got in after first year.

Furthermore, with increased seats, they are bound to increase the number of people they invite to interviews as well.

So I think as long as you have an average of around 80%ish, along with a PCAT composite score of 75+, you will have a very high chance of being invited for an interview.

The number of interviews are still the same as before (350 for 224 seats) according to the website. So if you get invited for the interview, you have a VERY good chance of making it in :thumbup:

Edit: Quick question: do you think they will look at the trend of students' academic performance, i.e. a student doing bad in the first couple of semesters but getting straight A's after?

i just consider that statistic the number of legs i need to break. :D no interview, no problem : D>-<

but in all seriousness yeah it does seem like a good chance.. but i bet everyone else thinks that as well so alot more people applied :s

To answer a few of your questions.

They send out approximately 350-400 interviews. Judging from the increased seats and applicants, it'll be 400 this year.

Only med school looks at your last 60 credits on top of your prerequisite GPA and overall GPA whereas Pharmacy only cares about your prerequisite GPA.

Do you think taking Chem223 and Chem235 in the summer is a good idea? The pharmacy website recommends it, and I really like organic chemistry... but my friend warned me not to take it... I heard it is really rushed and super hard...

Ouch. But what if I took Anatomy 390 and 391, Micb 202, Biol 300 and Phyl 301 and got A+, A+, A, A+ and A+ respectively? I did bad in the first 2 years but have been taking these courses to boost up my admissions GPA for pharmacy. My overall average for pharmacy admission is still around 77% after the straight A's streak so I was wondering may they'd realize that I'm more focused in school now and give me a chance lol. Stupid wishful thinking :laugh:

I wish they did, but it's extremely difficult to take that into consideration as there are so many other factors.

For example, some people are in different degree programs and have a much harder schedule which can correlate to a lower mark. Such programs like Science One really gives applicants who are applying a disadvantage in terms of GPA.

But yeah, I think with a 77% GPA you're fine. I'm applying with a 74% PCAT, so I'm really praying here.

I've heard PCAT is not that big of a deal. It's supposed to be 50% GPA, 30% interview, 20% for application and PCAT (coming from the pharmacist I volunteered for who recently graduated from UBC and also from a couple of pharmacy students I know at UBC). So if you had good GPA and application, your PCAT score will not hold you back :)

Haha. I'd love to think that, but I'm still super worried.

Good news is they've finally received my pcat + references.

For anyone that cares, my last name practically resides at the end of the alphabets, so it doesn't seem like they're doing it in alphabetical order.

thanks for reminding me to check. i'm all received too : D

i probably have more to worry about than you anyways.. i went to 3 post secondary institutions.. and the first 2 i failed just about everything XD

i dont know my gpa cuz the place im at is on the 4.3 scale

anyone know if they usually contact the people who write the reference letters

anyone know if they usually contact the people who write the reference letters

Yeah. If anything, they will contact the people who wrote the reference letters as the reference letter's format specifically asks for a number.

Edit: But I think it's random. They may contact successful applicants, applicants who are on the borderline, etc. We really don't know for sure.

Whups. Ignore

Hey guys..

I just read the following: "Students must complete at least 30 credits of coursework by the end of the academic term in which application is made."

Does that mean 30 credits in total? Or 30 credits in the session in which they are applying? I didn't see this at all on the pharmacy site.

30 credits in total.

Sorry if this is a replica of 'instinctz' question, but I am still confused. So this means that when someone is applying, they must have completed at least 30 credits of coursework in any time frame? or does it mean 30 credits within the past 2 semesters (ie: Sept 2010 - Apr 2011)?

you must have completed/or in the process of completing the required 30 at the time of handing in the application.

this is why you need to send an interim transcript if you are from another university/college

for example if i completed the 10 required first year courses (the 30 credits) i could apply..

if i only completed 5 courses but was taking the other 5 in spring (current) semester. they would already know this if you were attending UBC. and they would know this because you sent an interim transcript from other post secondary institution. you have until like june (i think) to get your marks in..

since they already know what you are taking its not hard to just plug in the grades you received real quick..

hope that helps

and to answer your question (ANY time frame) as long as they are equivalent

Yes it helps, thanks for the quick response

Hi everyone,

Does anyone in lower mainland want to form a interview practicing group?

I know the interview offers have not been made yet, but I think it's a good idea to get a head start regardless. We will be facing the interview one day or the other if we are serious about becoming a pharmacist!

I have no experience with MMI format in the past, so I really want to get a feel of how it is with a group of people.

If interested, please PM me or leave a reply and let's try to work something out.

Thanks :)

Same here. So I'm also interested!

Speaking of which, I heard UBC is holding mock interviews on March 19th and 26th from 10am - 1pm, held by the prepharmacy club. I heard it's good practice since actual pharmacy students are conducting the interviews, but you need to sign up as they're only accommodating 60 people altogether.

Well, I went to the pre-pharmacy club website (http://www.prepharmacyubc.blogspot.com/), but it doesn't mention about the mock interviews, so I'm wondering where did you get the news of the mock interviews? How do we sign up for them?

Thanks! =)

Sorry guys, you're too late.

They sent the mock interview invite email only to the members of the pre-pharmacy club, and it is completely filled up now.

Yay, good to see that some of you are interested!

I would love to get started as soon as possible!

Also,,, do you guys know if UBC still doesn't look at the PCAT composition scores?

Well since its just a mock interview...can you guys post the questions here so that we can all discuss it and get a feel for them? Unless its confidential

^ yeah, that would be really helpful.

it seems like a lot of guys are forgetting this is a competition..

if you were to fight someone and you owned a gun and they didn't.. would you give him a gun too so you could fight on equal terms?

not trying to mean.. just keepin' it real

If you think a couple of potential interview questions are going to give you an edge over others, you are kidding yourself.
Maybe you'll get more out of them when everybody else discusses them..? :rolleyes:

I see where you're coming from, but I have to agree with Iqra. There's no considerable advantage to sharing possible interview questions. And each interview is and should be unique in that there are no right or wrong answers, just well executed and thought-out responses.

If we all had the competition mindset, then these forums would not exist and it would be up to you to find information about the universities you apply to. I applaud the idea of working together and sharing possible questions (if not under the contract of confidentiality). It harms no one, and it serves the purpose of these forums.

meee! im interested too :)

I'm third year microbiology, but my goal all along has been pharmacy. I've put my blinders on and I'm confident that I will be in pharmacy school by next year. :)

Oh, nice! By the way, how's MICB 323 going along? ;) For some reason I don't recall having a good time in that class, probably because I keep getting abnormal results and I couldn't explain them... =P I did enjoy shocking bacteria though! XD

hey guys, im just wondering, do u have to declare a major at the end of first year? I dont think i know what I want to do yet..

I know it is early to ask, but where would you all be meeting up? I am thinking to come.

good stuff. Where is good place for everyone?

For me: Burnaby, Coquitlam or Port Coquitlam - Pitt Meadows area is good too. I can always accomodate to the majority's convenience.

Which stations are the best? Lougheed? Metrotown?

It would be nice to get something going before the end of March :)

Metrotown works but like I mentioned before I will not be able to commit before the final exams. My last final is on the 21st :(


My last final is on the 21st also. Physiology! :thumbdown:

I think Metrotown or any place near skytrains works best for me.

Lol same here. Would you believe me if I say I haven't been to lectures since February? :eek:

I can practice any time, now or later

Can I also join the interview practice group? I may be able to join the meetings held during school, as long as they are held at UBC. We can book rooms in Irving or Woodward, or anywhere else.

I'll be open for the meeting sessions after exams as well. Metrotown, UBC, or anywhere nearby is okay with me.

i want to join too!

i'm really hoping the average gpa and pcat score for those entering drops due to the extra 74 applicants being expected (bump).

Did anyone just receive an email saying the UBC enrollment office didn't receive our online pharmacy application?

OH NO!!! You forgot to submit it!!


Lol j/k. Yes I got it today as well. I freaked out at first but then realized I did submit everything and can see the pending application on SSC. So don't worry :thumbup:

Hahaha... I just made a few calls, and it turns out that the email was a mistake. Phewww... I'm soooo paranoid.. haha...

I didn't get one.....

Did everyone else get one?

I did not get one either.

i didnt get one.. hope this isnt the future story of my life XD

Hi guys, I've been following the SDN UBC forum for a long time but just registered now. I'd like to join the interview practice! :)
Last year, MMI was pretty daunting and I think I didn't perform as well as I thought.
UBC, Burnaby, Coquitlam, Vancouver all work for me.

How many people want to join so far? Should we be looking at booking a big room at UBC?

just got an email..

end of may we will get interview invites..

beginning of june we get times..

interviews June 11, 12, 18 and 19

By the end of the first week in July, admission decisions will be sent to all interviewed applicants. We will be making approximately 225 offers of admission.

the email we just received says there will be 350 applicants selected for interview. 225/350 is just over 64%, also factor in the wait list and the chances of waitlisting or being accepted are pretty high if you receive an interview.

Anyone know how many applied this cycle

225 students hopefully lol. But I remember hearing the number 1,000 somewhere :scared:

^ Eeek, I was not expecting that many! :eek:

225 students hopefully lol. But I remember hearing the number 1,000 somewhere :scared:

1000? highly unlikely based on it being at 600ish for a really long time. where did you hear 1000? i doubt they even give that information out yet.

1000? highly unlikely based on it being at 600ish for a really long time. where did you hear 1000? i doubt they even give that information out yet.

I agree, it'll probably not be that high. I think the number will be 600-700 based on last year's numbers, and because there's such a large number of first-year science students this year.

We also have to factor out the applicants who don't even qualify (incomplete application, mistakes, marks too low, etc...). So... maybe the number is around low-mid 600's? Some of them are OOP, and they're competing separately from BC residents for a set amount of seats (maybe 25-50?).

just for kicks.. i wonder what ubc would do if like only 225 total failure/rejects applied.. would they accept them all..? XDD

Hey guys, as a student in the UBC pharmacy program I can tell you the topics of the interviews are kept confidential, and they'll be using the new format adopted last year. If anyone has any general questions let me know.

Also I have some good texts that are very useful for the interviews, as well as required texts for one of the first year lectures and labs. If anyone is interested in picking these up at a discounted rate send me a message!

- Remmington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy 21st Ed.
- Pharmaceutical Care Practice
- Communication Skills in Pharmacy Practice

225 students hopefully lol. But I remember hearing the number 1,000 somewhere :scared:

I would not doubt a 1000 considering UofT change of curric which dramatically reduced the number of applicants there. Which means those students would have applied to Ubc and other schools. So realistically 800 applicants

Hahaha... I just made a few calls, and it turns out that the email was a mistake. Phewww... I'm soooo paranoid.. haha...

Hey guys, long time lurker, first time poster.

Gonna have to admit that it was probably me who caused all this ruckus. While I submitted my pharmacy application, I apparently forgot to submit my ubc admissions one. Margaret must have accidentally sent the email to other applicants. Great way to start this admissions cycle haha.

On a side note, even though I know interviews aren't given out until May, I still consistently check my email and this forum everyday. The next 2 months are going to be hell.:(

Yea I can't remember where I heard it. 750-800 seems like a reasonable guess.

there is only a small quota for out of province applicants, so if it were inflated from 600 to 800, i would not worry as there will just be 200 more OOP applicants competing for those ~25 seats.

edit: Stay Optimistic :D

Hey do they really give only 25 seats for OOP? That's it?

Hey do they really give only 25 seats for OOP? That's it?

well from the UBC Pharmacy FAQs: Do you accept out-of-province applicants?

We do receive a number of applications from students outside the province and they are reviewed. Although we have no quota for the number of out-of-province students we can accept, it usually amounts to a small handful each year, and this number depends upon the quality and quantity of total applications received. If selected for an interview, out-of-province applicants will be expected to travel to UBC at their own expense. They should be aware that this is a necessary part of continuing their application, though it by no means guarantees admission. In the selection of applicants, preference is given to well qualified residents of British Columbia who are Canadian citizens or permanent residents of Canada.
International applicants cannot be accommodated, and should not apply.


I heard the number 10 being tossed around for how many people were accepted out of province but that was before they went up to 225 seats. I said ~25 just as a rough estimate. Even if it is greater than 25, I don't see it being a significant amount higher.

Most of the students in my year are from BC, but there are quite a few from out of province. There are quite a few from Alberta, some from Ontario, and a handful from around Asia. So if you're apprehensive about getting admitted into the program from out of province don't worry too much, if you get accepted to interviews just make sure you're calm, collected and confident and you'll be fine. The MMAs aren't too bad at all.

For any who are nervous about their odds being an OOP, let me try and reassure your fears. I am an OOP, and I was not a straight 95's coming into pharmacy. But I was accepted into UBC pharmacy. A lot of it has to do with your personality. The interview is a huge part of it. Perhaps even more significant then your grades. So don't despair OOPs. :) Plus with the increased admissions this year, your odds of getting in go up.

Additionally, if anyone wants to buy some of the first year pharm books off me, send me a msg I'd be happy to sell them

What do u mean from around ASIA? I thought they didnt accept Internationals? :confused:

I agree. I am all for a little bit of an interprovincial mixture, but last time I checked they pretty bluntly stated that international students need not apply. Considering that the number of pharmacy school seats across Canada is so limited, it actually kind of offends me that any pharmacy program would renege on that position. There is an overabundance of pharmacy schools in the States handing out degrees, so it's not as if there isn't a niche for international students. I sincerely hope that the "handful from around Asia" hold Canadian citizenships.

Well said, Illix! =)

I shall, however, offer another possible interpretation here: Maybe those students Shiim was referring to did come from other provinces/countries, but were living and studying in BC before they became pharmacy students, so they technically would be classified as "BC residents" (ie. not OOP) when they applied.

If this is indeed what the poster was talking about, which I think is a more-than-likely scenario, then we're back to square-one with respect to the possible OOP quota for this year... =/

-

You are correct. No international students are accepted. I think what Shiim meant was that we have a few who were born and/or raised out of country, but who are now Canadian residents.

You are correct. No international students are accepted. I think what Shiim meant was that we have a few who were born and/or raised out of country, but who are now Canadian residents.

90% of the applicants and those that are accepted are Asians. Not being racist or anything but it's the truth. Not exactly multicultural as somebody above stated.

I am sure that is the case, but in the context of this conversation, I don't think we should be defining them as Asian pharmacy students, but Canadian ones, unlike how Shiim worded it.

90% of the applicants and those that are accepted are Asians. Not being racist or anything but it's the truth. Not exactly multicultural as somebody above stated.

We are talking about citizenship here and whether UBC is or is not accepting students who do not hold Canadian citizenship. The relevant proportion of ethnicities in the pharmacy program is completely irrelevant to this conversation because theoretically they all hold Canadian citizenship (or at least they ought to).

I believe that UBC takes that stand on international students because they do not want people to go back to their home countries where they can work near their family. There is a shortage of pharmacists in the rural areas of Canada, and UBC is taking these measures (favoring students from rural hometowns, rejecting international students, increasing seats) to solve this problem. When considering the welfare of patients in the rural areas of Canada, what UBC is doing right now makes logical sense to me.

Although we live in a rich, multicultural society, it is also important that people who apply to this pharmacy program are able to speak fluent, and clear English. This comes at a disadvantage for many international students, but I support the idea that pharmacists who want to train here must first be near-perfect in speaking English without large accents. I know this makes me sound like a @#!%, but patients and doctors depend on pharmacists to be able to pronounce medications, and give clear recommendations. There are hundreds of drug names that all sound nearly the same, and this is where speaking clear English is extremely important. I've read a lot of pharmacy blogs, and a lot of them complain about doctors and other pharmacists who sound unclear over the phone.

So, in a way, I believe that there will, sadly, be some (just a little) amount of discrimination against applicants who cannot speak fluent English. However, it is all for the care of the patient.

I have been thinking a lot on that topic, and those are only my opinions.

I think you misunderstood what I was saying. I was supporting UBCs decision not to accept international applicants and questioning why they would ever POTENTIALLY back off on that stance. I don't think it is is discrimination at all to turn away students coming from a different country since there is such limited space in the pharmacy programs across Canada anyway. Obviously Canadian students deserve priority. That being said, I also do understand the rationale behind trying to accept people from rural communities in BC as well, but I don't think this was really intended to become a discussion about UBCs admission policies as a whole or to be a tirade against immigrants who cannot speak English, but merely to correct those who suggested that there were students from outside the country (who do not hold Citizenship) in the pharmacy program.

Whoops, looks like i am replying to all of the points in this conversation backwards.

Well I think it is important to point out, as I have been saying, that this is a question of citizenship. If you are coming from a completely different country (we aren't talking about out of province versus in province students here) and you do, say, a 4 year undergraduate or live here or whatever, but don't get citizenship, then you shouldn't be accepted to the program regardless of the fact that you might be considered a BC resident because you still aren't a Canadian citizen. There is no guarantee that you won't go back to your home country and practice or then later try and gain Canadian citizenship and practice pharmacy in Canada whilst someone who is actually a Canadian citizen when they applied might miss out on that opportunity? All I am saying, is if you aren't a Canadian citizen at the time of application, then I don't think it is fair UBC or any pharm school to accept you.

That being said, I am an OOP applicant so it may be hypocritical of me to suggest that schools not accept non-Canadian students while expecting UBC to give admission to non-UBC students. But I really would appreciate it if all of you in-province applicants would not judge us OOPs or feel threatened by us. I think that the policies of most pharmacy schools throughout the country has kind of given the impression that they give weight to in-province students first, which already probably keeps the number of people who try applying to OOP schools fairly low. But again, I think there is something to be said for allowing Canadian students the chance to apply to multiple schools and have the opportunity to choose which school they believe will suit them the best in the end.

I understand that BC is concerned about maintaining a proportion of pharmacists practicing in rural areas and I am sure that this is a concern in rural areas across the country. I also think that it is important to understand that people do move, not just from rural to urban or vice versa, but from province to province. So while accepting students who were born in a certain province does increase the chances that they will stay there and practice there, we should all remember that LIFE does happen and it is impossible to predict whether circumstances (marriage, family, work, etc.) will cause us to move. So please, don't hate me too much to applying to "your province." We all contribute to the Canadian economy and the country as a whole.

I agree.

However, I just want to clarify here that my original post was to attempt to clarify any confusion some of us had with regards to whether UBC was changing its stance with regards to accepting international students, nothing else. :)

Just to weigh in, I am part of the Class of 2014.

My class is basically 45% caucasians, and 45% asians. and there is prboably 5% east indian, and another 5% misc.

So UBC doesnt acutally accept all asians, its based on competitiveness

No worries, glad to clear everything up. Best thing we can do now is literally forget about pharmacy until after finals and just focus on our classes :p

That sounds a little bit more accurate to me. I would also like to point out that there is a high population of non-caucasian students at my school too. It's not just UBC. It's just the way things are in major cities. No big deal.

Thanks for sharing this, it makes me feel better because i am not asian. what about the ratio of males to females?

I'd say it is pretty close to 50:50. Maybe a few more males than females, but not by much

It seems like UBC really takes a look at everyones apps closely and choose who they really want to have in their schools. I like how they make that much effort into getting to know the applicants on paper and then inviting those 350 to the interview. Schools such as UofT dont really know their applicants aside from the PCAT and GPA before the interview. I like that about UBC :)

This. UBC, from my research, definitely takes first plate at giving everyone a shot to shine in several different areas. There are some schools that don't even interview, and some schools pretty much only look at your transcript. Or at least that is the way it seems.

Yeah, and this system UBC's using weeds out the ones who only want to use pharmacy as a stepping-stone to med school.

It's true, if you make it to the interviews you have basically shown that you have the academics to make it into and through the program. The interviews are set up to figure out which of those applicants will excel as pharmacists. They look more at communication, how you deal with real life issues, and how you approach sensitive situations. It loos more for individuals who can communicate with others...it may be all well and great to memorize the CPS and everything about every market approved drug, but if you can't interact well face to face with a real person...they may choose in favor of someone who has less knowledge, but more interpersonal skills.

PS...first year books are still for sale :D

Except I still know people in pharmacy who only want to get to med. So their system isn't as fool proof as people say it is.

I am in this class as well and I would have to disagree with the stats...its more like 65% asian....30% caucasian and like 5% indian...majority of the cacasians are from outside the mainland as well.....but people should not be concerned about getting in or not getting in based on race

So it seems like two people are interested in forming a interview practice group so far:

anyone else?

p.s. thanks for clearing up my question about pcat composition! :)

I would be interested as well if these are still happening

Wow, that's a lot of people! hahaha....
We're going to have to find a big enough room to hold all of us... which is why I would like to suggest UBC, where we can hold meetings in the small study rooms in Irving, Woodward, etc...

But I also hope we find a place closer to a skytrain station, since most of us don't really like the idea of traveling to UBC...

Any ideas on how we're going to run these sessions?

well i won't be participating b/c im all the way in toronto, but here's a suggestion:

you could have it sort of like a bell-ringer. So have half of you act as interviewers and the other half as applicants. The interviewers sit at a desk and at that desk is the scenario. Each applicant has 2 mins to read the scenario then 7 mins to discuss. Then they move to the next station. The interviewers should ask probing questions also.

Then when every applicant has been through the stations, you switch. If you look online there are MANY practice scenarios, so you can print those out and put then on index cards. There would definitely be enough so that each set of people gets different scenarios.

could anyone please list the UBC classes required for the U of T pharmacy program? I know many have applied to both universities

GO CANUCKS (bump)

I'm in this class too and I agree both the stats and not worrying about race. Acceptance to the program is based on your overall admission score (PCAT, GPA, and interview scores).

did they send out emails for interviews? some of my friends were sent emails that they were declined, I did not receive one yet. :s

I can't imagine that anyone has received any emails for interviews as second semester grades have still not been submitted in most cases. I am pretty sure that what has always been said is that interviews offers will be sent in mid-late May.

If people have received e-mails indicating that they were declined, I would suspect that they did not submit a complete application.

no, i had 4 friends get declined. the email said their pcat was not sufficient even though they got over 65 percentile. i believe two of them were in the 70s.

edit: nvm they had something incomplete with their applications.

I'm interested in the mock interviews as well, I can make it anywhere in lower mainland and pretty much anytime as well.

I'm free to meet whenever and wherever

Thanks

Omg, canucks won!!:soexcited:

Fewfff...close one...UBC please accept me so that I can be closer to Canucks!!!

Hey guys,
I wanna join your interview prep too.
Lemme know when and where you guys are meeting up.
I'm free during afternoons any day.

Hey you guys. The interview prep seems like a cool idea, email me at daisy.li.20@gmail.com if you guys need a volunteer for it?

hey does anyone know how many OOPs UBC accepted last year?

when are we going to see if we get the interview invite? is it around May 20?

In recent years it seems that it could be anywhere from mid-May to early-June

How do we know if UBC has received our final transcript?

they will update it on SSC,

I am wondering what is others SSC statues right now?

Still waiting for final transcripts, but my institution still hasn't even posted my final grades for this term yet, so that makes sense for me anyway.

P.S. Everyone should just take a deep breath and get ready for a loooooong wait. The interview invites might come out sometime this month, then interviews in June, but the time between now and when they finally announce their decisions in July passes SO SLOWLY. I stressed myself out way too much about it last year. So relax and just let things happen. =)

Waiting for the interview invites is killing me!

they will update it on SSC,

I am wondering what is others SSC statues right now?

What does SSC stand for?

^ I think Student Services Centre..? The status on mine is that 'my application is ready for evaluation'.

What does the SSC status say when the final transcript is received?

@Irqa

This is what mine says: "Your supplemental application is currently under review by the Faculty/School. We will notify you by email as soon as the faculty has made their decision."

@Farmasy

They'll say something along the lines of "We received your final transcript". Just relax; these guys have gone through thousands of applications, and they most likely won't screw things up. They'll probably email you when there's a problem.

@Pharmpig...Did you submit your final transcript?
Edit: I just checked my status and it says the same.

@Pharmpig...Did you submit your final transcript?
Edit: I just checked my status and it says the same.

Here's what the FAQ in the Faculty of Pharmacy website says:
"If I am currently at UBC or UBC-Okanagan, do I need to send my transcripts again?

No, Enrolment Services will have your transcripts. But please be sure to submit an online Application for Re-Admission/Change of Program (available on the SSC)."

So... I'm sure they have my transcript. If you're OOP, I think it's a different matter.

my status is the same!

Weird, I am OOP and the list I previously had of what documents transcript-wise had been received and were still needed is gone and I also have the "Your supplemental application is currently under review by the Faculty/School. We will notify you by email as soon as the faculty has made their decision" status on the SSC. My final grades were literally posted on the 9th and printed and mailed on the 10th, so I am shocked that there could possibly be such fast turn around because I thought that my transcript was just being sent by regular mail and assumed it would take enrolment services at least a few days to process my transcript. Thoughts anyone? Should I call and double check that this confirms their receipt of my transcripts?

holy! ubc scared me the other day XD

they sent me this email saying update on your application to UBC

I thought it was to say i got rejected already from pharmacy

but instead i was rejected from my second choice.. sciences.. because i took too many credits at capilano :s

so much for back up plan XD

According to my records, interview invites went out on May 17th last year... which was a Monday. Will we be so lucky to see some tomorrow or sometime this week?

Did anyone get thier rejection letters yet? do they come at the same time as the invites?

I would assume that they would come at the same time as interview invites. Do you know of anyone who has gotten a rejection yet?

Ya~~ We should all receive invitation or rejection letter in the afternoon if the department follows the time frame as last years.. GL everyone ! :)

nervousness is setting in, kind of like game seven canucks vs blackhawks

Are we given a time/date for our interview or do we choose?

the last email margaret sent out said:

At the end of May, applicants will be notified, VIA E-MAIL, whether or not they are invited for the interview process. Please check your e-mail regularly at this time, as timing is critical.

So maybe they won't send the emails out today since it is mid-May.

nervousness is setting in, kind of like game seven canucks vs blackhawks

OMG yes. lol

Whoever receives an invite or rejection, pls let us know. I am way too nervous !

Got my invite! Good luck to all!!!

Did any OOPs get invites?

I got an invite as an OOP and I'm pretty sure my friend did too. Such a relief as it had me quite worried.. : )

What time did you receive your email if you are IP

It was 8:48 am for me at least.


To all of us who got interviews.

225/350 chance doesn't seem bad at all!

How many people do you think come off the waitlist on average?

In response to Gladd:

I think around 3-5 ish get in per year.

Congrats on the interview!

Has anyone decided on which dates they are planning to do their interview?

I got interview toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo :))))

Thank you

Wow! I really thought it would be more than that.

I heard UofT gets like 20-30 but I guess that partially because they have Waterloo right there?


I think I'm just gonna say any of the 4 days. I'd prefer an afternoon one though, but morning is doable too.

Is there a better date to do the interview? I don't know what to respond with!

Have rejection emails been sent out yet?

And were all the invited sent out this morning? (I assume so)

Have some friends still waiting... they haven't heard anything.

Got my invitation too !!! :D !! Anyone wants to get together and work on the interview together ? !! Didn't someone try to organize a study group? !

Hi guys, I got an invite as well!

As for the interview group I've tried to set up before, I've been trying to contact some current pharmacy students who went through the interview practice to see if they could help out with the prep, but haven't gotten any positive response,, sorry about going mia!

Thanks for taking the initiative to get another one going!

Hey Guys,

It seems Saturday 3:00 to 5:30 at Vancouver Downtown Public Library is the most popular choice....everyone but NL and HN can make it. I wonder if we should start 10 minutes early just so that NL and HN can join the discussion and share their opinions?

I mean...there is no way we can have a prep group for 18 people....so I am thinking that we should split into two groups based on availabilities and maybe have a mock interview at the end together.

Anyone who got their invitation is welcome to drop in of course!

I am looking forward to meet you guys!

I would like to join as well:
Bandaidrx@hotmail.com

However I can't make it on Saturday, is anyone up for something on sunday afternoon?

Hi all!:)

hi! i'd also love to join in this saturday. where exactly is everyone meeting?

Hey, is there anyone like me here? -- I got the interview twice in the past 2 years, got rejected twice, and have the interview again this year...

any pitiful rejected souls like me still lurking on this forum after 3 years?

I got the invite for an interview! COngratulations to the rest of you that got an interview as well!

I know I should be focusing on the interview right now, but I heard a rumor that UBC pharmacy is going to raise tuition to cover the cost for the new pharmacy building?! Did anyone else hear that? Don't pharmacy students already pay $10,000 a year just for tuition (not including books, student fees,etc)? That is almost 2x the amount for a normal BSc. already!

im interested in coming for the practice as well...

Don't let that get you down! I got in last year after my 3rd time applying :) Third time's the charm? They're accepting more students this year, and your previous interview experience will definitely come in handy! Best of luck to all of you!

I'm currently paying $679.41 for a 3 credit course. I'm not sure how much non-pharmacy students pay, but I know this is, unfortunately, definitely more.

That's about $76 more per credit than students in general science :(

I think the first year tuition... including all the second year courses a lot of people have done is 8-9k.

Which isn't bad considering UofT pays around 14k and their tuition is also getting increased this year.

I'm just in my first year... I really couldn't wait to get into pharmacy!!! Of course, I'll be at a disadvantage to students who applied after their second year; they can take some courses in advance, and they pay less per credit for each course they take.

Anybody likes to practice in UBCO for interview?

Are we meeting at the library that's on west Georgia?

Is anyone free to have a practice session on Monday, the Victoria day? I couldn't make it to today's due to work.. Anyone free, gimme a shout!

Hey everyone, although I am not an applicant to UBC, I would like to say good luck to all of you applying this year for pharmacy! I know you guys are awesome. :cool:

Are we meeting at the library that's on west Georgia?

So do those of you who practiced want to share anything?

well the interviews are about 3 weeks away, I want to organize practice sessions with those who are interested. I think we should meet up regularly several times in the upcoming weeks to practice more often so we will be better prepared.

If you are interested drop me an email at dyang89@hotmail.com

forget the practice sessions, the secret to the interview is to wear a white suit for guys, and a miniskirt paired with platform shoes for girls... maybe add a low-cut V-neck

it shows confidence and an essential understanding that the substance of your words is more important than the content of your wardrobe

i wish i knew this information sooner.. i'm here to help you guys so you dont make the same mistake that i have

Hey guys did they send out the interview schedule email already?
I'm here freaking out because maybe they didn't receive my reply :scared:

Hey guys did they send out the interview schedule email already?
I'm here freaking out because maybe they didn't receive my reply :scared:

if they are following last years schedule.. which so far they have been really close.. we should have it end of the month (was may 29 last year i think)

it appears that they are 1 week earlier than usual this year with regards to invitations and the interviews themselves

i believe this is to allow them more time to process everything because of the larger number of applicants and positions available

so, if this were the case, and assuming that it was sent out on the 29th last year, then they should have sent the emails yesterday (monday)

but i guess they need more time, i'll give them until wednesday

So, I just got my interview time e-mail. Interesting addition to the interviews this year, I must say.

Soooo...how does everyone feel about the new acting station :eek:?

Soooo...how does everyone feel about the new acting station :eek:?
I think it's cool but it's making me nervous at the same time. It would've been better if the actor himself/herself assessed us instead of someone else sitting there keeping an eye on our interaction with the actor.

Soooo...how does everyone feel about the new acting station :eek:?

I personally think it'll be fun! Of course, keeping a serious tone in mind, but it's always fun to role play

Are the times we're receiving these emails any indication of our rankings?

I got mine at 3:22 PM.

Edit: I'd assume it's by last name -- because I'm pretty close to the end of the alphabets.

Do we have to reply to the interview time email?

I highly doubt what time you recieved your emial indicates your ranking. I recieved mine at 1:04 which doesnt mean anything. My last name starts within the first 10 alphabets so that may have something to do with it. Or maybe because i requested the first weekend interview?

Yeah. I have a late alphabet last name.

But got my email at 1:20.

But I'm on the first weekend. So I'm assuming it goes by interview date?

745am @_@

















:mad:

Haha ouch!

I requested anytime in the afternoon just cause I'm not a morning person, but I know a lot of people who are.

^ 745 <-- that was EXACTLY what i feared, that's why i also requested afternoon

if it were up to me, i would prefer an interview at around 10pm

When's everyone's interview time? Mine is at 9:25 am on Sunday, June 19. I hope I'm not at a huge disadvantage for interviewing on the last day possible. Eeek! Is anyone else freaked out about the "acting" station?!

Do you guys know anyone who has rejected the invitation to the interviews?

there are actually 3 weeks of interviews, the 11/12, 18/19, and 25/26

there is a much higher rate of acceptance for applicants with their interviews on the 3rd week

respond to the interview time email and reject the interview and say that it turns out that you cannot make it to either time
on the first week of interviews, they will email you again and offer you the 25/26 interview dates

good luck

Thanks for the comic relief. I actually believed you until I read the later posts!

Anyone on the waitlist?

Is there going to be another prep session this Saturday?

oh sorry, forgot to mention that you can also skip your interview, and after the 2nd week of interviews, they will offer you the 3rd week interview

not only is the acceptance rate higher, there is also no acting station on this week

i seriously wonder if it's a bad idea to reveal my secrets here, i just don't want to have an unfair advantage

see you guys on the 25/26th!

i highly recommend not prepping because they can tell when you have prepped, it's better to go cold turkey so that they can sense the genuineness of your responses

thanks for the notice bro, i emailed them and just waiting for a reply now.

Anybody wanna meet up tomorrow to practice?

does anyone know what the break down for acceptance is after the interview?Like, what is the weight of the interview and the pcat?

thanks for the notice bro, i emailed them and just waiting for a reply now.

Farm is all joking.There is no third week for interview.They wont change your date first and second give you hard time and say it is your problem if you can not make it.

You are a good man, good sir. But not to worry, the sarcasm in Optimist's post is laid on pretty thick. He is well aware of the situation.

Anyone in the burnaby-ish area want to meet up for some practice? Shoot me an email (endlessflight at gmail dot com) :D

does anyone know when they release offers after the interviews??

I think it's about 9-10 days after the last interview date. At least that's what I remember from the e-mail from Margaret confirming the interview times.

Does anyone know approx. how many applicants there were this year?

Or like a general average of past years?

I think it's about 9-10 days after the last interview date. At least that's what I remember from the e-mail from Margaret confirming the interview times.

Mine was actually quite a bit sooner than that....more like 5 days after the last interview. But I'm sure it varies a bit from year to year, and this was of course prior to the last increase in class size. Could be sooner than 9-10 days though :)
