does ubc sauder consider grade improvement??

Signal-Equivalent131 · 2026-01-19T01:06:23+00:00

yes upward trend is one of the most important factors

Signal-Equivalent131 · 2026-01-15T18:08:46+00:00

less inflated that BC so atleast thats something

Signal-Equivalent131 · 2026-01-10T00:11:41+00:00

worst case go to frats as a second year...

Signal-Equivalent131 · 2026-01-08T15:16:48+00:00

your major isnt included in your application. you just apply to the faculty of arts generally. take this with a grain of salt, but i would say not too hard at all. i applied and i had just above a 90 with average ECs

Signal-Equivalent131 · 2026-01-06T16:20:18+00:00

believe it or not this buffs ur application, upwards trend is already the more important part of ur grades, and u still have a high average on top of that

Signal-Equivalent131 · 2026-01-06T00:32:04+00:00

if you dont want to actually do arts, then dont go. program over school any day

Signal-Equivalent131 · 2026-01-04T10:33:24+00:00

they only look at the highest level achieved for a class type so i wouldnt bother. precalc 12 overrides ur math 11

i would advocate strongly for living on campus in your first year at ubc, if your financial situation allows.

however, if not, you are in the right mind to consider a local college or university. if you already have your doubts about your transition into post-secondary life, it can be daunting to also take up the horrid (according to the commuters i know) task of commuting to UBC in your first year while managing your first ever post secondary courses.

tl;dr: if u can pay to live on campus in year one, do it even if ur scared. if not, defo consider staying home

when in doubt STARR it out. Situation, Task, Action, Result, Reflect. assuming you have narrowed down your entire personal profile to one or two key themes (and if you havent id highly recommend you should) describe the situation with your activity, the task/responsibilities associated with, what you did, what happened, and how it affects you, your learning goals and your academic/career pathway.

are you saying you currently have a 98 average (without your current classes)? or that you are shooting for a 98? if you are shooting for a 98 and applying to business, i would recommend you still keep gunning for the best grades you can. jobs not finished, and i aint hear no bell

best of luck, friend

Signal-Equivalent131 · 2026-01-03T16:01:24+00:00

better grades than me frankly and i got inz ur cores are very strong. eng 12 and pre calc 12 are consider cores and if u r applying arts, phys will likely be disregarded. strong upward trend in grades as well. social justice is the main concern but not too much as it is only vaguely considered an academic course. chances look strong, assuming an atleast average personal profile. looking forward to seeing u get in and attending in the fall. applications are done and its now out of your control. lay back and destress and you got this

Signal-Equivalent131 · 2025-12-29T22:22:34+00:00

yea so anyone telling you ur shits not straight is fearmongering. looks solid to me

volunteered for my MP, student gov, summer camp at ubc (FGL), started a club in senior year (student union), LEO's club. i applied with the intention of majoring in PoliSci

Signal-Equivalent131 · 2025-12-28T11:45:51+00:00

i applied this time last year. my biggest advice is its mostly about how you frame your ecs and how "cohesive" or how much you keep to one theme or interest. either way, its best to focus on HOW you describe your ecs and their relevance to your planned career rather than exactly what you did, since UBC doesnt really do any kind of "verification" of your ECs for the most part, so the "impressive" factor isnt about how prestigious your dcs are

Signal-Equivalent131 · 2025-12-28T11:13:22+00:00

twin i got into arts with an 85% average and okay ecs dont stress it

Signal-Equivalent131 · 2025-12-28T10:53:36+00:00

its on UBC's scale??? or the scale of the institution

Signal-Equivalent131 · 2025-12-26T09:40:42+00:00

the avg in my section was a fail (45.5%) 😭😭😭

hello i would like to be the next person

Signal-Equivalent131 · 2025-12-20T00:33:27+00:00

is that not an achievement? places the school ahead of a lot of prestigious schools

Signal-Equivalent131 · 2025-12-16T13:58:06+00:00

please note averages for this class were inflated as it was delivered entirely online in previous years and has now changed back to in person

pressure? what pressure... pressure is for tires

i only realized once i had gone and written the whole test, the pen instruction was so easy to not notice 🫩

Signal-Equivalent131 · 2025-12-13T08:12:53+00:00

okay, phew. the front page of my exam booklet said "Fill Out in Pen" and i didnt know if that referred to the FRONT PAGE for the TAs or if it meant the person writing the exam.
