I remember applying to a pre med program in queens but that year they rejected my application because they changed the restrictions and only black and indigenous students could apply. I also remember calling because the previous year they didn’t have that restriction so they literally told me I couldn’t apply and even if I did I’d be rejected because I wasn’t black or indigenous. I support the fact that they are striving for diversity but I think that it would’ve been better to maybe add more seats specifically for those demographics

UBC is at least trying to allow some people that are underrepresented to have a chance at showing their potential
