91% going into UBC science. Academic suspension first year in. High school avg going in means shit all other than getting priority, you can still slip in with a good supplemental.

I'm at SFU (Comp Sci) right now. I couldn't get in straight from high school and went to BCIT for 2 years.
I got the diploma at BCIT and my parents pushed me to pursue a degree and so I applied to SFU. I'm pretty much just doing the WQB stuff at SFU and imo my "degree" feels like it isn't really a "degree" in computer science. Mostly all of my courses from BCIT were credited as level 300/400 courses.
If you know what you want to do for your career I would highly suggest trying BCIT. You'll get all the necessary education and hands on experience that University/College doesn't give you. From my experience, it was a lot of work to get through BCIT since it was about 33 hours of just school a week but in the end it was worth it. I could've gotten a job right away but my parents wanted me to get a degree so I'm just doing freelancing work right now while at SFU.
Good luck!

95% entrance into SFU arts, transferred to Business with a 3.45 CGPA, now dropped down to a 3.35. I would be set if it weren't for all of the shitty quantitative courses I have to take for business.
Need to work on getting my CGPA back up, since I want to keep the option of going to law school alive.

Buddy, if ur comin out of highschool, shits alot harder this year since starting this year, they allow electives to be included in your average. They also dropped all provincials for past provincially examinable courses. Gl though man, I'm sure I'll get in. Posted via RS Mobile | |

Thank you everyone, I really appreciate all the comments!
It's the academic-related courses such as calculus, law, etc that are accepted into your average. It's in effect starting from summer 2012, so I'm not sure if that applies to me..

What? No fucking way? If they were accepting psychology and law courses from when I went to highschool, I would have gotten into UBC or even maybe Waterloo haha

I hate how averages are so important...
The supplemental was what got me into UBC. I think the average admission was somewhere between 86-89 for last year. I was borderline 86% (85.5%), but I was still admitted. If you're applying to UBC, try not to underestimate the supp if you're borderline.
By the way, SFU didnt accept me with 85.5%. lol

67% haha
i got accepted to sfu, but not ubc (i only didn't go to SFU because the commute is too far, and i know i'd never go to class, vs 10min from ubc).
so i went to kwantlen got 3.11 GPA and transfered to UBC. my average in university was about 73-76%. I duno, i found university way easier than HS.
the time spent on "school", especially studying and working on assignments/hw etc was way lower in post secondary than in HS.
out of all the schools and certificates and licences i've done in my life, i have to say highschool was the toughest. Don't know why.
I think the system of delivering an education in highschool is highly flawed. there's something wrong with it for sure.

highschool is stupid and doesnt prepare you for shit. I know girls that flirted with their teachers and got into ubc somehow.

Hey thanks again for all the responses. I'm now starting the application process to UBC and SFU, although UBC now requires a mandatory supplemental. The three questions for this year are:
Tell us about an experience, in school or out, that caused you to rethink or change your perspective. What impact has this had on you? (maximum 200 words)
Explain how you responded to a significant challenge that you have encountered and what you learned in the process. (maximum 200 words)
Please include any additional information that you would like the Admissions Committee to consider when reviewing your application. (maximum 100 words)
Did anyone have similar questions to the ones above? If anyone has time on their hands, could you provide a brief description of what you wrote for it? I do appreciate all the replies, and this will help me a ton.
Thanks again!

wow back then the only school I applied to was UBC and that was it. Didn't know UBC was hard to get in.
I got in with three 90s (PHYS CHEM MATH) and one 60s (ENGL), with a provincial scholarship
