You can use ms word. Click on the word count and it will show other counts like character count with and without spaces

I was asked to upload the Statement of Purpose as a pdf file so no word count was indicated.

Please house, regarding the SOP requested by UBC with 3000 characters, is it with or without spaces?

Hello, please can you drop the SOP questions here.

I haven't gotten the mail yet. So, I can be preparing my answers ahead. Thanks

Nabeeq:
Yes, your referee can do that for you.

Hello, please does that mean the referee will fill the form online and not write letter?

This are the messages I received cos I couldn't attach my transcript and reference before the deadline to UBC. I know I missed this opportunity cos of covid but I won't miss that of 2021. Will keep following the group.



Thank you for applying to the MCF Scholarship at UBC. You have submitted an incomplete package as your personal information, notably, your citizenship and date of birth were not filled in. You also were not able to provide all of your supporting documents before our deadline.

 

While recognize that this could have been a mistake, please note that we need complete and accurate applications before our deadline.  As a result, we cannot accept your application. Please note that this decision is final and we will not accept any additional submissions.

Fill their details online (3 refs), UBC will contact them(I think).

So I am a little confused with the whole fee waiver issue for MasterCard scholarship applicants at UBC.

From what it seems, as I’ve seen this issue happening to other applicants too, the application fee wasn’t waived via the link they shared with me. And I just found out about this today. Considering their MCF office takes a hot minute to respond, and it’s now holiday season, I feel compelled to pay the application fee so as my references can have ample time to submit their part(s).

I’m just wondering whether paying the application fee would in one way or another put a red flag to my application considering this scholarship is oriented towards the economically disadvantaged — of which I am. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Please house, what are the likely other information that I can put at the dialogue box requesting for other additional information you feel would be of importance to the Admission Committee?

It won't have any effect in your application because not all MCF applicants requested for the fee waiver and not all MCF scholars did not pay for the application fee. Thank you

Did you indicate your interest in the fee waiver?

Who is applying for Food science at UBC?
Please, how did you answer the question on Funding?

I just filled in the Mastercard Foundation Scholarship as source of funding

Anything you feel the admission committee should know about you or your background or any other information you feel might aid your application.

Hi,

The people having issues with the fee waiver applied to the wrong program.

There are two different Master's programs for same course at UBC. There's one taking place in Vancouver and the one for Okanagan. If you mistakenly chose the one for Okanagan, you will NOT see the place to apply the fee waiver.

If you go ahead and pay, you've paid for the wrong program which isn't supported by MasterCard. It's the Vancouver one that is supported.

Let me know how it goes.

I noticed that in the email confirming submission of application, it's advised to apply for housing even before getting an offer since the housing is competitive. Do we (MCF applicants) need to apply? There is a $50 application fee.

I also noticed the same thing in the email sent to me. I think it is better to hold on since the scholarship covers accommodation expenses and we are not supposed to pay for it if we get the scholarship.

Guys, I just applied to Data Science at the UBC and my referees say they have not been contacted... I submitted yesterday. Anybody with the same issue?
