UBCV Or UBCO Arts
I’ve started hearing more and more of my friends talk about applying to university, and honestly it’s making me pretty nervous .
I’m hoping some current UBC students, applicants, or people familiar with uBC admissions can give me an honest opinion.
I’m hoping to apply for Arts at both UBC Vancouver and UBC Okanagan. My eventual goal is law school, so I’m mainly looking for an Arts degree that will set me up well for that.

Helped during the last election
I know UBC looks at more than just grades and that the personal profile is important, so I’m also planning to put a lot of effort into that.
What I’d really appreciate help with:
What do you think my UBC Vancouver Arts chances look like?
What about UBC Okanagan Arts?
If I get around 89% in Pre-Calc 11 on my retake, how much does that improve my academic profile?
Roughly what admission average do you think UBC would be looking at for me?
Is there anything in my course selection that could hurt me?
For anyone who has actually applied to UBC Arts recently what was your average and did you get in?
I’m not looking for sugarcoating.
If my chances are questionable, I’d rather hear that now and know what I should improve.
Feel free to ask me any questions about my grades/courses if you need more info
