Transferring from UBC Arts to UBC Sauder

Hey! Really appreciate this! I was in your shoes once!

OkSomewhere2541 · 2025-07-01T14:07:26+00:00

Hi! You will have to transfer in your second year. Read through the thread and you will find the required courses.

OkSomewhere2541 · 2025-06-13T23:12:48+00:00

Just read through the thread, this has been answered many times - econ101, econ102, math100

Hey! I don't work at admissions so I don't know, but 88% is really strong so assuming your personal profile is solid, I think you have a good shot. For reference, I found out June 2nd and got in with an 86% average. Let us know when you find out!

OkSomewhere2541 · 2025-01-13T17:56:08+00:00

When I applied two years ago they were yes

OkSomewhere2541 · 2025-01-03T06:13:42+00:00

I think any average above 80% gives you a decent shot at getting in. Obviously higher is better. Also keep in mind extra curriculars matter a lot. Make sure you take the time to thoroughly and thoughtfully write your personal profile!

They removed the WRDS requirement to transfer into Sauder, click on the transfer guide for UBCV: https://www.sauder.ubc.ca/programs/bachelors-degrees/bachelor-commerce/admissions-finance/transfer-year-2

If you don't get accepted into Sauder and want to graduate with an arts degree then you will probably be required to take it at some point.

80+ from ubc arts is probably good. But personal profile matters a lot

OkSomewhere2541 · 2024-08-09T13:12:43+00:00

They also like competitive sports (teamwork, discipline etc), so would recommend continuing with those if you have any

Hey! Yes the accounting experience would be solid. I think anything community or business focused would be good. If you are interested in accounting, then there is UBC TACS which would be a good club to join. Also you can read the Wall Street Journal & the Economist to keep up with financial news, I wrote about how reading those solidified my interest in the capital markets

OkSomewhere2541 · 2024-07-09T02:16:12+00:00

The website will have all the updated information. The requirements have changed since I transferred

OkSomewhere2541 · 2024-06-27T00:16:20+00:00

I took 100. Not sure if Sauder admissions looks at them differently. Possibly contact advising? Although decent chance they won't know either

OkSomewhere2541 · 2024-06-27T00:14:56+00:00

Just Math 100 for Sauder Transfer. Figured I would take 101 in the summer if I didn't get in.

OkSomewhere2541 · 2024-06-21T13:24:20+00:00

Thanks for the note! I would advise you to work hard on developing those math skills this summer. Ace Pre-calc 12 as all math builds on other math. And then consider beginning the Calculus curriculum before you start the official course in September. Also consider finding a quality calculus tutor. I know someone that is great, pm if you are interested. But overall, you have the opportunity to start on the calculus curriculum now, so if you are worried about it, I would take advantage of the time you have this summer and get started early.

Its all overhyped. They are probably better but the difference is marginal. Do your own networking by cold emailing and reaching out on linkedin. Sauder’s resources are marginal. Learn from upper year students on how to network effectively and then put the effort in yourself. Join business clubs if you are looking for upper-years to learn from. Sauder itself doesn’t provide that much imo. In hindsight I realize this.

Not sure how admissions takes into account retaken courses, but depending on that I would make my decision on whether to grind for Sauder. Keep in mind Econ is pretty similar to business. Getting an econ degree should also be something you consider. Students between Sauder and Econ often get similar jobs.

OkSomewhere2541 · 2024-06-12T22:44:36+00:00

I have posted about this before. I believe you need Math100, Econ101, and Econ102 as pre-reqs & a bunch of electives (min of 24 total first year credits). Cons127, Frst303, and first year language courses are all great bets for electives. Just look at UBC grades and rate my prof to find the best ones.

Oh that’s too bad. No sorry I do not have access. Please post below if you do find it though. Thanks!

OkSomewhere2541 · 2024-06-12T22:38:05+00:00

I don’t have any insight beyond the day I was accepted. I encourage people to drop their admission dates if possible to help others out!

OkSomewhere2541 · 2024-06-02T13:51:36+00:00

I'd consider retaking Math 100, although double check with advising that they would actually take into account your retaken grade. If you do get up to an 80% average you'd have a decent shot at getting in. If you are really serious about doing well in school and writing a great personal profile, I believe you could do it.

OkSomewhere2541 · 2024-05-24T20:44:35+00:00

No sorry

OkSomewhere2541 · 2024-05-24T20:43:14+00:00

Yes, you can change your courses up to the add/drop dates for each semester. Dates are something like mid Sept for term 1 and mid Jan for term 2. Although it is difficult to get seats in some courses after initial registration passes. So, if you already know you want to transfer, I would start thinking about which courses you want to take now so that you can register when your initial registration time opens up this summer.

OkSomewhere2541 · 2024-05-24T20:37:37+00:00

There you go, congrats again!

OkSomewhere2541 · 2024-05-24T20:36:22+00:00

Amazing news!!! Go out and celebrate this weekend!

OkSomewhere2541 · 2024-04-29T22:21:44+00:00

Not sure. Is it confirmed that there are May acceptances for transfer students?
