Looking to get into a business school like SAUDER, can anyone recommend me extracurricular? Thanks!

Hi there friends!

I'd love to support anybody who's looking for application help in the coming fall or in general looking for advice. I just graduated and am looking to give back to this community.

This year, I was accepted to every program I applied to, mainly in Business program at UBC, Queens, and Ivey @ Western + smaller ones. My grades weren't high, but my extracurricular profile and essays were really good, making up for it.

DM if you're interested! Especially with personal profile stuff.

Hi guys!!! I feel so lost about writing the personal profile for ubc 🫩🫩🫩. I want to start drafting it now since it’s summer and I have so much free time, but I’m genuinely lost and don’t know where to start…I feel like a loser who has zero accomplishments or anything that would make me stand out 😿😿😿 and my ecs aren’t anything special. The ones I can name on the top of my head are piano for 5/6 years,swimming for about 5 years when I was younger, Chinese school for 4 years when I was younger, concert band since grade 6, community and leadership at school since grade 10. I had a part time job for 7 months at a bubble tea store until the owner it, and I’ve worked at my parents restaurant in the past during holidays. In September, I will begin volunteering at a hospital hopefully a few times a week. I keep seeing posts about people who started non profits, won major awards and insane community involvement, and it makes me feel like a chud who does nothing with their life. Any advice from current ubc students or people who have gone through the application process would be greatly appreciated 🥹🥹🥹💕💕

Does stuff like chinese school since first grade, martial arts for 8 years, piano for 4 years matter if I have nothing to show for it or should I still include stuff like that in personal profile cause like I did it but I don't have any relevant rewards besides participation certificates to show for it. Do have a couple awards from chinese school but they're either like small ones or from middle school

I am accepted to both and accepted my uvic offer and I paid and everything. But I was debating going to uofa heavily and losing the money to uvic. What school will be better overall, I know uofa is ranked higher for eng? And I was considering EE or maybe Chem E if I went to uofa.

Im seeing a bunch of people talk about NIDES, SIDES, EBUS, and potentially SAIL. Ive never done an online course so im honestly a bit lost. Im looking for the easiest and fastest one.

Which is the best online school to take Social Studies 12?

hi i'm thinking of applying to ubc next fall, so i was preparing what i should write for the personal profile this summer. i know you have to not just write about ur accomplishments but your struggles and what makes you unique and all that so, would it be a good idea if i wrote about how i struggled with change, and an example of that was when i moved schools in grade 8 and then grade 11, something to do with those experiences or is that just stupid and shows ubc that im not good w stress or making friends plzzz help

I’ve received about $16000 in scholarships for my first year and $6000 are Cheques which I think I can deposit into my bank account and keep it for myself if I want.

Tuition is around $7000 and I kind of want to live on campus which is around $18000. That’ll be $25000 in total. Should I do it and try to pay the remaining fees off student loans or live at home? If I live at home, I would be keeping the $6000 to myself and all tuition costs will be covered by my $10000 scholarship (if that makes sense). However, I’ve heard a lot of great experiences with housing (I won’t have a roommate but a shared washroom) and it seems like it’d be worth it? Idk tho please help!

Does studentaidbc cover housing fees if I have that many scholarships already?

Should I wait until September to take English 12 at my school with the teacher I like, or should I take it this summer through online school? Are there any downsides to taking English 12 online instead of in person? I know BC universities don't usually care, but what about universities in other provinces? I'm just making sure that taking it online won't affect my admissions.

Hi upcoming grade 12’s I am recently graduated (class of 2026) and I want to help improve your University applications. I’m offering a few free first reviews to build experience, if you want, I can give you feedback on yours as I know how tough it can be.
My credentials is :

I went to a super public highschool with no AP/IB classes. However I still got accepted into really competitive programs (most first round).
(Uoft Eng/Comp Sci, Waterloo Eng, UBC Eng).

I didn’t have any stem extra curricular and while my grades were good I think my personal profile helped open the door.
Let me know I am happy to help:)

My girlfriend’s brother was showing me his Physics 12 final exam last night and I was astonished at how easy it was. Just straight application of equations with minimal manipulation of variables and almost no conceptual questions. He said the class average was around 88%. Mind you, he attends a school in the VSB district so I dont know if it’s a district or school wide thing.

The questions were literally like how much force does an electron moving at 5m/s experience in a 3T magnetic field, etc.

I graduated back in 2018 and I feel like even then, the questions were way more difficult.
