<p>haha well getting in would probably be one of the best birthday presents ever huh?! my descision should come sometime within the next two weeks…if it does and it’s not what i want to hear, i’m going to apply to uvic. i mean, i’ve already gotten in to two schools, western washington university and arizona state, but after university of washington denied me i basically lost all hope and got super paranoid about everything! western and ASU were originally my safeties, but now they’re my targets! i’m not a big fan of ASU, but i did get a scholarship…and i got into the interdisciplinary program at western that i wanted to get into which is cool and all, but to lay it all out plain and clear… i’m not a big fan of america and would really rather leave, haha!</p>
<p>so hopefully i can just play canadian until i can BE canadian…
hopefully starting with 4 years at ubc…
!!!</p>
<p>soo my status no longer says it needs a transript it says this:</p>
<p>Based on the information you have submitted, your application for admission has been temporarily placed on hold. We will review your application again no later than the end of June. In the event that we are able to offer you admission, we will notify you immediately.</p>
<p>AHHHHHH, i am so impatient…and nervous, omggodd there is no wayy i can wait till june.</p>
<p>&& i did some research to check my chances, and the outcomes of those who have had this and the ask ubc said, you usually get this when your above minimum average and below competitive average. well this is for faculty of land and food (which i will transfer) my gpa is 4.1…and the competitive for that faculty is like mid 80’s so thats not my situation…i guess my case of suddenly leaving ucla is just strange for them. <em>fingers crossed</em></p>
<p>Aww, welllll at least it finally changed, so now you do know someeething atleast! And June really isn’t too far away, and June is like the very latest that they’re allowed to tell you. Good luck dude I really hope you make it in!</p>
<p>Hey everybody, I applied to UBC Arts and Commerce. I was accepted to Arts 3 weeks ago. Today my status for Commerce changed to:</p>
<p>“The Sauder School of Business Admissions Committee has reviewed your BCom Supplemental Application along with your academic record. As there are a large number of applicants to this program, we cannot make a decision on your application at this time. The majority of admission decisions will be made prior to the end of May. Please continue to check back here for updated information about the status of your application. If you are admitted, we will notify you immediately.”</p>
<p>Is this some sort of waitlist or what? What does this mean for my chances?</p>
<p>Wow mrmuddy, congratz, are you a us applicant, if so stats? how muh entrance scholarship did you get?</p>
<hr>
<p>&namake, that happened to me too, kind of, i dont know if its a waitlist or hold, but i might have to wait till june…you could call the ubc people and ask or go on the website and see faq or ask ubc…those usually help. i am really nervous about my chances now.</p>
<p>And i don’t feel like these messages that you, yellowapple, and you, nameke, have got are waitlist messages…i feel like you’ve just been put on hold. Because usally waitlisted means that depending on the number of people that decline their admission, you get in. Whereas this seems like you guys are just on the cusp stats wise, like, right on the fence…and depending on what the average turns out to be once they’ve admitted the higher scoring others, you’ll either get in, or you won’t. But hopefully you will! And hey, there’s always the second choice! :D</p>
<p>congratulations. 10 days? you applied 10 days ago? or it said they were revieiwing it and it took 10 days. well congratulations…i hope i see you in the fall too</p>
<p>^ Yeah Holdencaulfield! I have checked this thread everyday to see if you got your news. </p>
<p>I don’t know you of course but you seemed so genuinely in love with UBC, and so happy for everyone else’s success while you waited so anxiously…well, I was really rooting for you and I am genuinely delighted to see you finally got the good news you deserved!</p>
<p>Best of luck to you. Oh, don’t forget to buy yourself a congratulatory souvenir! (got the idea from another thread just now on what to do with acceptances):</p>
<p>I know this might seem like a random question, but i remember you saying how you also applied to UW and were from that area. I got into both uw and ubc and i am so torn between the two. i loved vancouver as a city and the campus at ubc had a beautiful setting and landscape, but the campus at washington was also really beautiful and felt much more campus and college like and even though its around the same size as ubc it felt more together. But then again i feel like vancouver is a much better city than seattle, but then how much time am i really going to be spending in the city compared to the campus? I dont know if anyone can help me but figure this out but if anyone here is familiar with the two, which one is better?</p>
<p>aw starbright, that’s so sweet of you! I really do love this school, absolutely, completely, and totally, in its entirety! i remember visiting and it just felt so RIGHT! like, i could envision myself there and everything! i even TRIED to say to myself like, “okay, tara, you CAN’T like this school too much…you haven’t even visited any of the others that you’ve applied to!” but it just. didn’t. WORK!! oh well haha, now i’m so happy that i get to go to my numero uno!!! :D</p>
<p>also, if any of you have younger siblings who are going to be applying to schools next year, tell your parents to LET THEM VISIT SCHOOLS BEFORE THEY APPLY!! like, beginning of junior year would be a GREAT time to visit because i had decent grades, then bad grades, and i feel like if i hadn’t of visited UBC and fallen in love with it waaay early in like october, my midyear grades would’nt have been so stellar and there’s a good chance that i wouldn’t of gotten in at all! the 3.67 that i scored first semester senior year brought my gpa up to a 3.22 i think it was, and 3.2 miiight be a cutoff of sorts because the person i know who was denied then got in on appeal, he had a 3.17 or something and applied to arts as well so yeah! just a little advice, haha…</p>
<p>anyway, i am toootally getting a sweatshirt by the way. thanks for the suggestion! my spring break starts in a week so my mom and i are going to go hit up whistler and do another ubc visit just so i know forsure forsure that i want to go there. i’m so excited to visit my new home away from home!!!</p>
<p>i really, reeeeeally really really hope that everyone on this board who has yet to hear their decision gets in! i mean, i don’t knowwww any of you but as far as i caaaaaaaan tell, you’re all rather lovely people and you deserve to be thunderbirds!!! :)</p>
