    Hi! I have accepted an offer from UBCO for fall of 2018. I would love to connect with some other inbound students. I did not see a topic for the Okanagan campus, so I thought I would start one up! I will be new to the area, so it would be wonderful to know some great people when I get there. Please feel free to contact me here or via PM. I would be thrilled to chat with currently attending students as well. Thank you!

    I have not heard from UBC-V. However, i was not invited to interview, so I am quite sure I am unofficially rejected.

    I don't know how many people from our interview cohort check out GC, but I want to let you know that it was an absolute pleasure meeting all of you! You are such a brilliant, pleasant, lovely group. I did not meet a person I didn't like. Honestly, I am flattered to be considered alongside you. Anyways, I check out GC pretty frequently, so if I hear anything, I'll update here. Also, I am around for questions, concerns, and general chatting. Feel free to message here or DM me. ?

    Ugh! It sounds so frustrating and draining to be on pins and needles for that long. I'm rooting for you!

    I agree. I think emails after the fact can show a strong desire to improve and may even benefit you the next application cycle, if you follow through. I personally contacted my POIs before my rejections, but there is potential harm that could have been done. I really weighed the pros and cons before I emailed, and knew I was okay with all scenarios before I sent my inquiries. In fact, it is likely the professors that responded felt the inquiry showed a strong interest in their work and the program, where the ones that did not may have felt my email was impatient or bothersome.

    Actually, I had not received my formal rejection notices when I e-mailed. I knew I was not likely getting in because I didn't receive an interview invite on the first one and the second one I had no idea if I was still under consideration after my interview(they gave us a time frame for when we would receive our acceptance or rejection notice and it had passed by over a week). I crafted a short, polite inquiry email and did not follow up if they didn't answer (almost everyone did). All emails were to POIs I had previously engaged with.

    I contacted the POIs from schools I had not heard from. It was a very positive experience. Mostly, they gave me feedback as to why I was not being selected and possible improvements I could make for next year (if I reapply). One gave me very detailed review of my application and general advice for both applications and scholarships. Last year, after interviews, I also contacted a POI. She let me know that I was on a short list, but that offers had gone out. For the most part, I think professors understand how important and stressful this experience is and don't mind an inquiry or two (at least in my limited experience).

    I'm sorry to hear that. I am expecting to get mine soon. I did not receive an interview invite, so I know I will not be attending. For me, this is 50% of the places I have applied this year. So, I know the feeling of disappointment. Hang in there!

    Has anyone heard from UBC's Vancouver campus?

    Has anyone received an official interview invite for UBC's Vancouver campus?
  12. FluffyPancakes
    That is wonderful! Good luck!!!

    Official invites are going out for UBCO.
  14. FluffyPancakes
    Could the person that heard from UBCO let me know if it was an interview with your PI or an official interview weekend invite by the school? Just wondering if official invites are already out.
  15. FluffyPancakes
    I would like to know, too. I haven't heard a peep from UBC or UBC-O. I am getting pretty nervous.
  16. FluffyPancakes
    That happened to me last year. I would ask if you can resubmit. It may have been an error on the school's part. For me, the portal showed all of my letters in, but one did not show as submitted to them. The school contacted me and then I contacted my professor and she resubmitted the reference. I was offered admission at the school.

    Me too! I only applied to a couple of schools this year and everything I've read says invites should be going out this week. I am obsessively refreshing the results page, but terrified to see that they have already been sent. I feel anxious all of the time. Not knowing if it is safe to keep imagining a life with my dream career in it is so stressful. Sometimes, I convince myself that checking my email every two minutes and browsing forums all day will not change the outcome of my circumstance, but then I realize that is stupid.

    Me too! I am feeling very anxious that I haven't heard anything unofficially from a POI or officially from the school.
  19. FluffyPancakes
    Have many people heard something from their POI about interviews?
  20. FluffyPancakes
    Has anyone received their official interview weekend invite to UBC or UBC Okanagan? O.O
  21. FluffyPancakes
    If anyone has heard from UBC and/or UBC Okanagan, please let me know. Thank you!!
  22. FluffyPancakes
    Thank you! I wouldn't want to distract myself with an "out" fabric. The shame. Yeah, there isn't really moment safe from worry during the application process. What is the SDN forum?
  23. FluffyPancakes
    Your idea sounds much more epic than mine. Perhaps you could write a song about waiting forever for grad school decisions.
  24. FluffyPancakes
    I feel exactly the same. I have been trying to keep myself occupied by cleaning (I may have taken a small, gross vacation from keeping my house in order while finishing my applications). However, that doesn't keep the obsessive thoughts away. I have one eye on my phone all day at work. I am thinking about learning to sew to keep my hands busy (so I stop pressing refresh buttons).

    I've seen a couple of posts from people about University of British Columbia, Okanagan (UBCO) clinical psychology MA program, but I still haven't heard anything myself. Has anyone been accepted or rejected off of the wait-list? Is anyone else waiting to hear back?
