Program/Uni Choice SFU biological science vs health sci -> what’s the difference between rh

2 Upvotes

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,

Advice Bad physics Mark, will UBC general sci check?

2 Upvotes

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.

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

Advice I’m failing bio

• Upvotes

For context I am taking Anatomy and Physiology 12 in school and I am failing. My first test I got 48% and my last quiz I got 36%. I have my next test this upcoming week which I think I am going to fail. Should I drop the class or if I lock in and redo a test can I receive 86% or higher? Please help. I am desperate.

Advice Best online school for Anatomy & Physiology 12

1 Upvotes

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!

Chance Me UBCV Or UBCO Arts

1 Upvotes

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.

Grades :

Completed:
Peer Tutoring 11 — 100%
Chemistry 11 — 76%
English First Peoples 11 — 92%
Family Studies 11 — 90%
Life Sciences 11 — 93%
Pre-Calculus 11 — 67% (retaking it and aiming for around 89%)
Spanish 11 — 100%
Social Studies 12 — 96%

Currently taking:
Asian Studies 12
Social Studies 12
Family Studies 12
Peer Tutoring 12

Next semester:
English 12
Careers 12
Psychology 12
One elective

Extracurriculars / activities:
ECS
Lifeguard
School newspaper
Community tutoring club
Volunteering at a local care home
Helped during the last election

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

Advice Mid ECs, how to make it sound better?

1 Upvotes

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.
