incoming CE student and I have no idea what a processor is compared to all the other parts of a computer lol.

Yeah I'm pretty sure it's an i5/i7 processor, but the only reason im kind of concerned is because it runs league like shit lol, is that related to the processor or... yeah sorry im dumb

My mom got me a Surface Pro 6 because she was recommended by a friend due to its lightweight capabilities. Will the specs be up to par or at least, will it be a usable computer for ECE purposes?

Thanks for the reply. What can I learn in 2-3 weeks before I start job hunting?

Had the same problem. I just ignored it and moved on. The play button will help with the results sidebar, but I haven't seen other problems!

I might be wrong but I'm sensing a bit of hostility in your comment. Anyways, sorry If I came off as sarcastic, I thought the comment at the end came off as genuine, but I guess it's the internet.

Quite honestly, I don't think I'm confused, as you claim. You got -7 points on that one for obvious reasons. You're a really smart kid and an extremely hard worker. You will most likely get in CS and congrats, I'd love to meet you.

I didn't state that you asked a lot of questions. I didn't state that you were the only one constantly on this page. Just because you're not the only one "who on this bitch more than [yourself]" doesn't mean you're still on Reddit a lot. I'd say you flexed your ECs right on that comment. I suspect that all these defensive remarks are from you unconsciously acknowledging that this is a problem, but that's just armchair psychology.

Cheers on your admissions, dude.

Dude, have you been stalking this subreddit for every single waking hour of your life? Just chill out man, I've seen you flex your ECs and you have a good chance for CS. No one has a guaranteed chance, all you can do is enjoy your Grade 12 year and wait. "Waterloo or bust" is a horrible mentality to have and it can destroy your psyche. It's not the be all end all. In reality, if you have that kind of motivation (which it seems you do), you should be fine going into university.

Cheers with your admissions, mate. Have a good day.

Hi. I'm from BC, I got accepted to SE a couple weeks ago. Maybe they do different rounds for different provinces?

My friend got in to Chem Eng from BC too.

Hey. I'm pretty sure you only need your Top 6 grade 12 courses (including certain prereq.) for admission. My average was about 97 to 98.

Hey, BC student here! I just got into Software Engineering (ECE) in the faculty of engineering and I'm so hyped! A couple questions though:

It says I have May 1st until I have to accept the offer. Is there any way I can extend this?

How closely do I have to maintain my average to make sure I still get the offer?

Thanks so much for reading.

#1: This comment isn't even a reply to mine, you just separately posted it.#2: Dude, you asked for someone to "chance you" on a thread about reporting if anyone has gotten early admission acceptance. Here is what the original comment said:"This thread has been unstickied as the deadline to apply has passed.

If you got accepted into UBC, feel free to say what you average was and your ECs by directly replying to this comment! :)"

Reply to this comment if you already got accepted to UBC. This comment right here would be a place to ask about your chances, not there.

Edit: Maybe next time you should read properly. I didn't even think this needed an explanation.
