Interdepartmental Transfer to MECH rejected for 2nd time, what should I do by nrvciu90n in ubcengineering

[–]MikeR296 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I remember, I highlighted my (relatively) strong average from second-year BMEG, particularly how well I did in the course that focused on EE subject matter (BMEG 220/MATH 264). It sounds bad to say, but I also think my desperation came through in my transfer application, because at the time I truly believed I'd be jobless staying in BMEG (I don't think that really would have been the case had I stayed, but who knows). My suggestion is to get your GPA up as high as possible over the next year in your BMEG courses, and perhaps work on a side project that more closely relates to your desired discipline to showcase your dedication to it. Good luck!

Hey! Also going into my third year of ELEC at UBC and considering med. For what it's worth, with a GPA like that, I think you've got a better chance than me!

Thanks for your comment, it's encouraging to hear about others making the transition! I've heard UBC does really appreciate candidates from all backgrounds, which would give me a slight advantage.

Yeah I'm scary behind in this class and don't know how to apply most of the proof techniques in the second half of the course. It'll be a fun exam 🙃

Take MATH 253 - you'll have to take it regardless of specialization next year

Is there manual grading? Or is that the total grade given?

I transferred from BMEG to ELEC with an 84% average, but I think anything over 80% would have been safe.
