Rosalina Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 You have a pretty good chance for UBC, especially if you can weave in what you learned from your extracurriculars in that essay portion of the application. I think your grades aren't too bad to apply to UBC. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I applied for College of Arts & Science (Economics) instead of going for Rotman Commerce, could I make it? I'd like St. George campus since i'm international and would like to have a proper downtown toronto experience Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remembering from what my peers who applied at U of T had, I think you have a good chance at U of T. As an aside, downtown Toronto can be quite expensive but you never get bored Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
