That is awesome, I am free both days. I will message you my phone number so it's easier to contact!
From what I know, you are given a certain scenario and you have to act accordingly. For example, your boyfriend is cheating on his tests and you need to talk to him and convince him not to....You will probably be able to find some examples online 🙂
Yeah I was really confused about that too!! I'm hoping... that it's because there are less applicants this year LOL, so I can get in 😛 but I don't know, that's probably not the case. Although all of my friends who applied (~5) received interviews 🙂
Yes you do have a chance!! I know someone who got in after 1st year science and he had ~73 gpa 🙂
Ohhh I thought you meant like.. get up and physically ACT something out, like drama.
I know about the "what would you do" situation type questions, though.
Phew!
ahh, kinda like me.
i only studied in richmond for 2 years of high school!
for sure, message me. 😀 i set up a group with a couple of my other friends who got interviews!
Yea...i feel like everyone I know got an interview (I only know about 3 ppl who applied though).
btw--I saw that somebody posted for MMI practice tommorow (friday) at UBC --2pm, irving 317
hopefully people who see this can join me or whoever else is planning to come.

awesome! will message you definitely!
I'm from Richmond too! I'll message you as well!
Omg! I literally just left ubc... 🙁 sorryyy. And I'm so dumb, for some reason I thought the Irving meetings were next week, so I missed all of them! Did people show up though? But next week I can definitely meet up on campus after my classes!
Hey everyone,
Long time follower. good luck everyone! I was wondering for out of province applicants, are you guys waiting for interview date confirmation to book flight or hotel ? I am not sure how long it will take them to send those confirmation emails and I don't want to wait until the last minute.

Hey Tigos,
The prices are already getting higher, even three weeks away from the interview date. well, atleast for westjet. I know, sucks! Yeah, I am also looking for hotels fairly near ubc so I won't be anxious about getting their on time on interview day.
Hope those confirmations come soon.

i do worry about that since they will give preference to bc residents+ my application is not that stellar either 🙁. I think I am just taking shot at it. The interview really is something I am counting on.
They should put stats to give people rough idea of how many oop they end up taking each year.
I am from alberta! how about you?

I'm in province.
Average is 75.
PCAT is 88.
ECs. Professional cinematographer, 300 hours+ volunteering at medical library and rehab clinic (maybe even more?), rec hockey. And lots of various one day events.
Crap average. Everything else is not bad I guess.

Im coming to Vancouver on 7th and leaving on 10th
Will stay at Pacific Hostel at UBC
anybody else from Toronto or other OOPs?

I would suggest buying tickets now
cause its gonna get more expensive
and I looked at Itravel20.. but its not that cheap or has hotels at Langley
cheapest is to buy tickets straight from company and Pacific host
Hey, I'll be flying to Vancouver on the same day, and my connecting flight is in Toronto. I'll probably be staying at the same place as you. When's your flight? Maybe we can split a cab!
Ah, that's too bad 🙁 I'm mostly likely going to take an evening flight. Maybe I'll see you at the hotel 😛
If you hear
loud music and just follow the cops and thats where I am 😀but I think its a great idea to live on campus...close to location of interview
maybe we can meet up and exchange ideas....I did same for Toronto interviews

You and 3 friends are watching a 70 yr old man prepare a hot-air balloon. The balloon is ready and the man is holding one of the 5 released anchors ropes that are all 6m long. His 10 yr old grandson is already in the basket. A gust of wind raises the balloon 2m off the ground. The man shouts for help and you and your friends each grab close to the end of one of the other anchor ropes. The balloon raises so high that even though you are holding onto the ropes, you are lifted off the ground to a height of 7m. What would you do in this situation.
What is everyones thought on this question.
What is everyones thought on this question.
Interesting question! I don't think there is one right answer here, but this is what my answer would be. First, I would climb the rope and enter the balloon. Next, I would pull the grandfather into the balloon since he can operate it, and because he would be the most likely to fall off his rope first. Then I would help my 3 friends enter the balloon. Why did I choose this answer? I think its because its what I would honestly try and do if this actually happened. The opposition to this approach would be something like: What if you weren't strong enough to climb the rope? What if the grandfather had already dropped from his rope? etc... I guess these are things the interviewer would be asking.
Another approach would be to drop from the rope and go for help, assuming that no one else was aware of the emergency. Then some kind of aerial rescue would follow? In my opinion, these two answers or any other would be valid as long as you showed that your first priority was the well-being of the 5 members in the scenario. Any other answers?
Thanks for posting this one arora 🙂
Hey fellow applicants, just found the right thread to post in! I hope there are still people looking for practice groups. I'm available in Surrey during the weekends and evenings, and UBC during the day and afternoon.
If I'm not able to join a pre-existing group, I'm hoping to form one to meet semi-regularly over this (and the next) week.

Good luck everyone!

This is from the interview invite email. "The interview question/scenario at each station is 5 minutes in duration with a 2-minute transition period." I thought we get 7 minutes to answer the question but email says only 5.. Does anyone know how much time we get to talk at each station?
I can meet if you're still looking for someone to practice with!

Each station is overall 7 minutes long:
2 minutes to read the prompt and brainstorm/think about an answer.
5 minutes in the interview room giving your answer to the interviewers.
By the way, does anyone have an general idea of what type of questions they'll ask? Will they be mostly medical/pharmacy based questions? Or more general scenarios like the balloon one somebody posted above? I'm wondering if it's worth the time to get familiar with a bunch of Pharmacy/Medical terms before the interview.

Me too!! Surrey on weekends/evenings and UBC during the daytime 🙂
Hi I am from Toronto too and I got a interview invite as well 🙂
I would love to meet up for an interview practice and maybe even meet up at Vancouver if possible.
BTW is Pacific hotel close to UBC campus and what is the UBC hostel?
I still have to book my plane tickets and plan things out! So much to do last minute!
Anyways cheers & good luck to everyone!
If you'd like, I'm also available to practice via skype!
By Pacific Hotel, do you mean Pan Pacific Hotel? It's about an hour away by bus.
This is where you can book rooms from UBC (all of these are pretty much on campus):

I suspect a lower amount of applicants this year.
It's weird because I know a couple people who already got rejected.
I'm in 3rd year of pharmacy so questions/thoughts feel free to shoot them my way.
