It’s official. Daughter’s first application is in. BCom at Uvic app is in the books

Hey guys I'm from Manitoba and i'm in my grade 12 year, I really want to move to vancouver, and start a new life.

I'm going to apply for applied bio, and arts. I would prefer applied bio, but arts would be my backup as I am well versed and would be able to study something arts gladly.

Arts I would do something like philosophy, or sociology

My gr 11 avg was ~91.8%, with ELA, History, and advanced Chem being my highest @~96%. While Pre cal was at 82% and my AP bio was at 88%, being my lowest.

My gr 12 avg will probably be ~91% too,

Pre cal - 82%

English - 94%

Physics - 93%

Chemistry - 92%

Canadian Law - 94%

(I took my senior bio in grade 11)

(With arts, not sure how it would look when I only have 2 arts related courses on my schedule)

I have some references in mind as I played club volleyball for numerous years at a very competitive level, I also run cross country and am one of the captains of the team. I have worked in a restaurant for a year so far, and i'm sure one of my managers wouldn't mind vouching for me as well as a coach from my volleyball career. I have perhaps some teachers who I could use as references as well.

Clearly, my extracurriculars are pretty average and I have volunteered perhaps twice.

I mean... I could join some sort of club at my school right now, but I'm not sure how authentic that is.

in the future I would like to go into med or law...

I have also applied to the u of manitoba, and probably will apply u of winnipeg as backups… maybe even uvic

Let me know what you think, I have been writing my personal profile, will probably submit by Monday or so.
I’m focusing kinda on my experiences, my background, and what’s the positive outcome that’s come out of it kinda.

Hi everyone! BC student in grade 12 right now and wanted to see my chances for UBC and other Canadian universities. Any and all feedback is appreciated and please share any advice, questions, or comments.

I'm in 1A electrical engineering at the university of waterloo, I know last year I spent forever on this subreddit and r/OntarioGrade12s stressing about everything. I'm bored while procrastinating ece 105 so feel free to ask any questions that you have about admissions, advice for grade 12, etc...

​

For ec's

I co- founded a women's fitness club

I volunteer with adapted swimmers at my local community center

I work as a swim instructor teaching preschool levels

I'm a partnerships coordinator for a non profit

I was a camp leader for grade eights entering highschool

I’m in grade 12 now so I kinda have to start applying to colleges and universities. I would ideally want to go to Douglas college for the engineering transfer program into ubc, and if not Douglas college then maybe Langara, KPU, or UFV. I have no idea what I need to do. Do I need to write an essay? What do I write about? How do I apply for scholarships? Do I have a better chance at getting in if I apply earlier? What should I do this is so overwhelming.

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
