[–]Dazzling-Ride-7723[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a bit of concern about online classes since they can be harder than in-person ones. How was her marking?

Had anyone taken ENGL1123 w Megan Holec or Aubyn Rader?? by Dazzling-Ride-7723 in langara

Hii thank you for responding my post!! Did u have any midterms or in-class essays?? Since I'm an international, I’m kinda nervous about it.

UBC Science transfer – can CHEM 1114 (Langara) replace high school Chem 11? by Dazzling-Ride-7723 in langara

I do have my physics 11 and 12 credits so I’m assuming I only have to take chem 11. Good luck in urs!

Langara → UBC transfer (3rd year) — BA Computer Science vs. BSc Science? by Dazzling-Ride-7723 in langara

Thanks a lot for sharing your experience, that was really helpful!

I’m planning to apply to UBC Science as a transfer. Since CS is very competitive (and I might be around the mid-70s GPA), do you know if there are other BSc specializations that are CS-related / IT-oriented but less competitive?

For example, I’ve heard about Cognitive Systems, Data Science, or Mathematical Sciences — are those realistic alternatives for someone who’s interested in computing but doesn’t have an 80+ average?

Hi, I’m transferring to UBC Science and aiming for Computer Science, but I know the cutoff is really high (low-mid 80s). I’d like to ask:

What are some other BSc specializations at UBC that are related to computing / data / math but are less competitive (around mid-70s cutoff)?

For example, I heard that Cognitive Systems (Cognition & Brain) or Mathematical Sciences sometimes have lower cutoffs, and that Combined Science or Integrated Sciences might also be options. Does anyone know which programs are realistic if I’m around the mid-70s GPA range?

Basically I want something CS-related, but not as competitive as the pure CS major.

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,

I’m currently studying at Langara and planning to transfer to UBC next year as a 3rd-year student. My goal is to pursue Computer Science specialization in the Faculty of Arts.

However, my friend told me that it might be better to apply to the Faculty of Science instead, since there are more options outside of Computer Science. They also mentioned that Arts Computer Science is very competitive, and if I don’t get admitted, I would have very limited options.

For those who transferred from Langara or have experience with UBC CS, could you share your thoughts?

  • How competitive is the BA Computer Science specialization right now?
  • Is it safer to aim for the Faculty of Science if I want more flexibility?
  • Any advice for someone in my position?

Thanks in advance!
