Hey! Congrats on UBC! I was also recently accepted into the Ph.D. program in Geography there. It was my top choice and I will most likely be attending. Did you get an official acceptance letter from the university? I received one from the department, but nothing official. Would love to connect, PM'd you!

Got acceptance from UIUC geography program 2 weeks ago! Anybody heard back from UBC, LSU or SFU ?
