Amber Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 How many points did you/your friend receive, for what program, what campus and what year (how many years ago)! Thanks 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Economist Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 I applied to UBC, but I still haven't sent them my grades. I got my diploma with 42/45, applied for the Vancouver campus and chose sciences. I don't know though if you are looking only for people who have been accepted Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandwich Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 My friend got into UBC to do Sciences (in Vancouver, like you said) with 34 points. Plus she got some crazy large IB scholarship. They love them their IB students something crazy at UBC The irony is that 34 points is too low to get onto many UK science courses and you wouldn't ever get a scholarship even if you got 45 haha. So the moral of the story is go to Canada haha. She really enjoys it there 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Wong Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 oh my gosh, isn't the standards going way up for the 2013 grads? My friend told me that the cutoffs for regulars will be 93-95%?I don't know what they'd be in IB terms though...I'm really hoping I will get into UBC science or UBC sauder Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amber Posted February 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 People with low 30s for sciences have gotten rejected in the past year or so, so I'm not sure Things were definatley easier like 3 years ago. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lois-lyhz Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Would it be easier if I'm applying for history subjects??! I'm gonna graduate in 2013 and I don't want to get into crappy unis! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amber Posted February 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 I would say, take the courses that lead you to the career/field of your choice. There are requirements, like for UBC you need a certain amount of science courses.Do you guys think that someone with a 33 will get in? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vandalism Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 I know two Canadian IB seniors who applied for science (Fall 2012 term at Vancouver) and got in with 36-38/42 points. I have around 36; got accepted to arts and am still waiting for a reply from commerce.In the past two years I've heard of kids with as low as 26 points who got accepted to UBC arts. Whether UBC loves IB students or they happened to have really strong EC's and essays - I don't know, but I think 33 is pretty safe. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emma :) Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 I'm only doing partial IB now but I'm still able to use those credits for some first year classes (in French,English,History,Philosophy and Bio) and I was accepted to the Vancouver campus I was accepted to Science but I'm thinking I will go to McGill instead Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
precious22 Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 I'm a former IB student and now studying in UBC Okanagan, which is the smaller campus, and for first year students, it's better to start with smaller university, to get used to university life.Well, my IB score wasn't that good. I only got 26 points, but I got in the faculty of Science. UBC is the most well known university for IB student. They acknowledge IB students more than any other students.

Beni Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 How easy/difficult is it for an international student to be accepted into UBC to do an engineering course? I will be doing my exams next year and I am quite sure I can secure at least a 34 score with a 6 in physics HL and hopefully at least a 5 in maths HL.And does anyone know what the costs per year in terms of living + course fees and so on will be compared to an equivalent UK course?

Is that a lot for an equivalent curse elsewhere? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
