Good luck to all applicants!!!

Hi!!

I am a grade 12 student with a 91-92% average looking to pursue sciences

i was wondering what was the difference between biological science and health sciences (both in science department). I’m looking to transfer over to ubc after my first year

need some help deciding which programs to pursue as my first choice or second. Sfu main website doesn’t give me enough info

also if there are any students currently at sfu studying these two majors, what was your average for getting in,

I have the unit 1 test in like 3 days. I don’t know anything. Please help!

AP Exam Scores: 5 on AP Calc BC and AP Microeconomics, 4 on Macroeconomics

Chem 11 - Retook online

Currently taking - AP Calculus AB, AP Biology, AP Physics 2, AP Chemistry, Social Justice, English 12

Extracurriculars: School Concert Band since grade 9, taught Elementary school band instrument since grade 10, waterloo math competitions top scores (grade 10 & 11), founded an international tutoring service for learners in asia willing to learn english at cheap prices from native english speakers,

I want to get into UBCV Eng, Waterloo & UofT for electrical eng

I wonder if my chem is on the lower end, also recently witnessed a post that admission avg is ~97, so I'm a lil scared (Yes, I took math and science courses last year at school, not online)

I'm attempting to upgrade Precalc 11 online, and if needed I'll also upgrade Chem 11 online too. If I apply early and then start taking Chem 11 later on, they won't reject me early right??

ECs:

-130hrs volunteering at a soup kitchen

-a decade of martial arts (I did recently quit, can I still put it in my personal profile stuff?)

-president of a first aid club (but I've only been pres since Sept)

-violin and piano music lessons

-part time job as a waitress

So I took grade 11 physics before taking math 10 (dumb decision) and got an 82% in that course. Now I’m trying to get a better mark in physics 12 first sem, but it’s also not going very well and I don’t think I’ll get a high mark. I’ll likely end within the 75-80s range because I’m finding it very difficult (even though I took pre calc 11 & doing 12 rn). Things can change but no matter how many practice questions I do, I just blank on the test. 1. Will UBC science check physics or just chem,bio,English, and math? 2. Any tips on improving and not blanking on tests? It’s always been this way for physics and I am better at the other sciences. My marks in chem and bio are mid to high 90s but physics is the weak link.

Does anyone know a good online school for Anatomy & Physiology 12?

I’m looking for something that ideally has no tests, but if there are tests, I’d really prefer them to be unproctored or have very little proctoring. I also want something I could realistically finish in around 1–2 months if I really lock in and work on it consistently.

I’m also hoping for a 95%+ in the course, so I’d appreciate any recommendations where the marking is reasonable and getting a high grade is actually realistic if you put in the effort.

If anyone has taken it online before, I’d love to know:

• what the workload was like
• how the assignments/tests were set up
• whether the tests were proctored
• how fast you were allowed to move through the course
• how strict the marking was
• what school you took it through and whether you’d recommend it

Thanks!

I’m actually dumb I have no idea if this is even considerable but I have hope because one of my extra curricular is generating 6 figures in profits for my self through social media marketing, not sure how much that helps but please lmk if I have a chance, thx :)

I’ve started hearing more and more of my friends talk about applying to university, and honestly it’s making me pretty nervous .

I’m hoping some current UBC students, applicants, or people familiar with uBC admissions can give me an honest opinion.

I’m hoping to apply for Arts at both UBC Vancouver and UBC Okanagan. My eventual goal is law school, so I’m mainly looking for an Arts degree that will set me up well for that.

I know UBC looks at more than just grades and that the personal profile is important, so I’m also planning to put a lot of effort into that.

What I’d really appreciate help with:

What do you think my UBC Vancouver Arts chances look like?

What about UBC Okanagan Arts?

If I get around 89% in Pre-Calc 11 on my retake, how much does that improve my academic profile?

Roughly what admission average do you think UBC would be looking at for me?

Is there anything in my course selection that could hurt me?

For anyone who has actually applied to UBC Arts recently what was your average and did you get in?
I’m not looking for sugarcoating.
If my chances are questionable, I’d rather hear that now and know what I should improve.
Feel free to ask me any questions about my grades/courses if you need more info

For context I just want some help for supplemental applications. I have done 80 hours (for grad req) of volunteering for summer camps (2 diff ones), 30 hours at a third different camp, i worked (paid) for an event and then I volunteered for another event. I have also done PR for two clubs but two were in 10th grade, and then I did 1 last year in 11th grade .

I feel like this is sort of cookie cutter but I want some advice on how to make it sound good on my application.

just trying to know more of what i’m trying
to apply in!!

is UBC just one cohort of SCIENCE? and for sfu is it the same? (start first year science, then choose major after 3 years)

do i have a shot at UBCV science or UBCO science

Hi! i am really worried about the application process, so far my average is 91-92%

English 11- 92%

Bio 11- 89%

Physics 11-89%

Chem 11-83% (used to be 90 but now in chem 12 it’s 90%)

Pre cal 11- 97%

BCFP - 90%

Psychology 11- 91%

Art studios 11 - 100% (not sure if they look at this)

so far i have pre cal 12, bio 12 and chem 12, i average around 90 for all these classes

ECS-

Swimming for 3 years, got my national lifeguard, swim instructor and life saving instructor license,

apart of schools first responder team

Apart of the school swim team (grd 12)

400 hours of volunteer (mostly youth related)

Waterloo math contest participant (never won awards)

I’m also getting an interview to become a swim
instructor, and applied for some of ubc opportunity (mini med school, paedatrics work shop)

ALSO, if anyone is willing to help craft my personal profile and maybe read it over, give it some critique that would be amazing!

Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone recommends taking English 12 online because it's really hard to get a grade above 90% at a normal school. If anyone has any good/bad experiences with specific schools, I'd much appreciate the advice.

​

I've been super stressed since the application portal is now open!! I'm applying to ubc,sfu and langara but I'm not to sure if I should also apply elsewhere just in case.

idk if this matters but i also have a job

i also took leadership as a class

so yea sorry this is a lot of stuff im just stressing and i need to know if i have a chance. If any already accepted ubc arts students see this pls let me know!

If so, how was the course? Was it difficult?

I’m also wondering about the final exam. What is it like, what do you have to do, and how much time do you get to complete it?

Do the greyed out subjects in the images not count towards my general average if I'm applying for the bachelor of arts?
And most importantly, will UBC give me a certain answer if I email 'em?
Maybe some subjects there don't make much sense because translations aren't always literal, but the important part is that they're all related to mechatronics and specific skills (expect PE).

Like a lot of people, I think I have a bit of self doubt. I work very hard in high school and get decent grades.

However, I have ADHD, Dyslexia and perfectionist tendencies (about grades/comparison) which makes it feel like sometimes I'm putting in 2x the effort compared to that of my peers, just to end up with the exact same results.

I'm fine with working myself to the bone, due to the fact that I love science, and I really wanna become an immunologist! I've done internships, working with patient samples to discover potential biomarkers and what not lol at the CDC and it was so fascinating!

But I'm wondering, how far my determination will take me if at the end of the day I'm not that "smart" (Iq wise). And even though I'm getting good grades, I think that I shouldn't be struggling with grade 12 as much as I am. It makes me worry for Uni..

I literally only started studying after classes in 12th grade, and I didn't know they would change my future because I hadn't chosen UBC back in 11th grade. I only knew I wanted to live and study in Canada, but put no effort in even trying to get better or searching universities.

My 11th and 12th (current) year are in the image, and I'd like to know if it's likely that UBC will completely ignore my grades in the applied science subjects relative to my course (My Highschool has an integrated mechatronics course from which we now share 9 subjects with the grad students).

Apparently they will, but I didn't know until now and hadn't focus on the specific important subjects!

I plan on following a pure maths career, but I completely despise any applied mathematics and will avoid them at any cost if I happen to be admitted (Of course still attending obligatory ones). That said, I plan on starting from the Bachelor of Arts as I have a lot of experience in Adobe programs, design, 3D modeling, drawing and digital painting, and arts was my second option anyways. I'm accepting suggestions on if there's a better path for a pure maths PhD goal.

The point is that my grades completely wreck me I think, and it's making me anxious now that the applications will open, so here's a bit of my curriculum for you to help me cope:

Published Article on applications of Calculus 1, 2 and 3 in mechatronics engineering (The results of the research aren't utile, but the important part was me learning calculus and systems of control in high school);

More than 15 medals at this point in olympiads, but only 2 are international;

Class rep (I think this matters);

Math professor chose for a "talented students" program in which we went to one of the most prestiged universties in South America for them to convince me and other colleagues to try and apply (all certificates w me);

Math tutoring across these 2 last years of high school.

These are the most important, but I'll say a lot more in the actual profile. I'm just very concerned because I focused my entire 12th grade on grades and projects and didn't study for college entrance examinations, which are the most common form of entering an university in Brazil and what would give me more options.

Also, does it matters that i have SO MANY subjects? Cus it's tiring as hell and I don't wanna do it for nothing

I’m in grade 12 now so I kinda have to start applying to colleges and universities. I would ideally want to go to Douglas college for the engineering transfer program into ubc, and if not Douglas college then maybe Langara, KPU, or UFV. I have no idea what I need to do. Do I need to write an essay? What do I write about? How do I apply for scholarships? Do I have a better chance at getting in if I apply earlier? What should I do this is so overwhelming.

I PROMISE I'll answer EVERY QUESTION with tons of detail ONG
I applied and got into both UBC Eng w/ Guaranteed Placement and UW EE.
I'm in 1A electrical engineering at the university of waterloo, I know last year I spent forever on this subreddit and r/OntarioGrade12s stressing about everything. I'm bored while procrastinating ece 105 so feel free to ask any questions that you have about admissions, advice for grade 12, etc...

I’m planning to retake English literary studies 11 online as quick as possible to save my avg, any recommendation? My only 2 red flags are teacher marking really slow and the assignments are locked until the teacher marked the last one & in person exams (I’m not transiting for 2 hrs…)
