| UBC application question
So, here's the deal. My counselor told me not to do my supp. app. because my grades were good enough. I applied for sciences and applied sciences, and I know both of those are optional.
My average will be about 94%, if not higher. Should I be worried that I didn't do them, because I am rightfully freaking out right now!
Thanks.

You should be fine. Although it never hurts to spend the extra few minutes to fill out the broad based admissions stuff. I thought you were required to fill that out....maybe that was just when i applied.

how hard is it to do supp. app.?
if you are really worried...just do them.
with 94% average...consider yourself in.

if you can manage 94% avg, i don't see how you cannot manage a half ass supp package
say "Because I can."

They were due by midnight of the 15th :/
I'm going to go ask them in person and see if I can have an extra day, it's freaking me out, haha.
Yeah, and at the end of my calculus class, I have a chance to redo Math 12 in 4 weeks, should bring my average up to 96%.

94 is more than enough, i agree with the counselor.
but just to let you know high school grades aren't a good indicator of how well you'll do in undergrad.

I wouldn't even bother anymore.. you should have done it anyway regardless prior to the deadline, but now that its passed, there is no point. You are pretty much set to get in anyway though so no need to freak out =)

94%? Don't waste your time going into sciences!!! Applied sciences all the way since there's a job after! If you're planning to become a doctor or a dentist, you can still get in from applied sciences :P

as a guy about to graduate from engineering, take my word, run away unless u want to take 6 courses a term and be in a room with 100 guys and approx. 10 girls if ur lucky. if you know for sure that's your life long dream is to be an engineer then sure by all means as you'll probably enjoy your time in engineering, but if you were like me and not so sure and you went into engineering cuz you think life after engineering is awesome, don't do it.

Wow I didn't get in Engineering with an 86 average!
Anyone know what this message is? It's on my application status.
"Based on the information you have submitted, your application for admission has been temporarily placed on hold. We will review your application again no later than the end of June. In the event that we are able to offer you admission, we will notify you immediately."
Will I get in? I got accepted to UBC Okanagan even though I didn't apply lol, not sure wtf that's all about.

means u didn't make it in the first round (or the concurrent round)
they do several reviews and take "the best choice" out of the applicants, and if they have space they look at the pile again and pick the "best choice" out of those remaining
with 86 avg u will probably be able to get into engineering, as they do take a whole bunch of ppl (and they know that a HUGE number of people drop out/kicked out after the first year)
i was in engineering before for 3 years then i got booted. lol.
