Post-Secondary Information: RichNet

According this this comm is 85% and ubc is all low to mid 80's. Not sure if the site is trustworthy.

On the sfu site com is 78% but that seems pretty low haha

Contemporary arts or liberal arts? Because contemporary arts (acting, dance, singing), on that site, appears to be 78. From your post, I sort of had the feeling you were aiming for liberal arts, so I may be wrong. But yeah, it's about 80% for arts at SFU.

Admission averages fluctuate every year and semester. It's determined by the amount of people applying and the average they're bringing in....so only use what you find online as a guideline, especially for UBC.

Generally, I'd say high 80s to low 90s is safe for UBC. Keep in mind that they have included a supplementary as part of their application process. Last year, my friend got into UBC Kin with 83%, so it does play a major role.

As for SFU, 84-85% is generally a high enough for admission. From the past, science, health science and education required a percent or two higher though.

The good thing about SFU is that they post admission cutoffs, not averages (even though that's what it says).

PS: It's funny how I'm the one who originally created this thread, and now giving advice on it :fullofwin:

WHATTT 83% UBC KIN?
what did he have on his supp
im worried i wont get into kin with a 88-90

Fuck my marks this first term are horrific. If i can boost all my marks up to the 80s in this second term, is there still the slightest chance of hope of making it into ubc/sfu? Do they really care that much about 1st term?

not sure about sfu, but i know that for ubc, you submit only your second term marks

they re look at your marks after, but 2nd term is the most important

Hows yours lol Im trying to aim for a 88 avg in 2nd term but its harder with mid term. All of it is easy though lol

I have everything already except geo

Eng: 75
Econ:91
History: 86 could go higher after oral marks
Geo: 82 - 86 depends how i did on test today.

:badpokerface:


Also how does early admission work if i recieve a offer in Jan what does it mean.

my top 5 courses were about 93%

LOL im in much worse shape than you.

Eng-75
Law- 90
Bio- 70
Math- 65

:okay:

Probably has something to do with me not trying really. Didnt realize how important this shit is till pretty much 2 weeks ago. Now i might regret not trying if this really does affect my application.

is law easy i might take it online during winter break and try to get a 90 lol

im currently at

eng-87
history-88
bio-84
economics-91

i recommend english online
the marks are super inflated, class avg is around 90%
i never got higher then 75% in class for english, but this year in online im getting high 80s :fullofwin:

going to try and get history and bio up to the 90s for term 2

2nd term marks is your key to admission. Final average must not drop below 70%

After receiving my early admission last year, I realized that it doesn't mean shit. There's really no benefit except for your ego, because in the end everyone ends up in the same position. Conditional offers are confirmed when the school receives your transcript from the ministry.

Anyways, try and enjoy your last year of high school because it's honestly so fucking easy. My unbelievably high average of 93% during 2nd term did not translate for shit on how I'm doing in University. Going on academic probation (GPA < 2.0) next semester LOL

So if you get a conditional offer and maintain a avg above 70% you will get in :fullofwin:

No, because the conditional offer is based on the grades you self-reported (unreliable).

When they receive your second term marks from the ministry, they will send an email to you that you have been admitted, and must maintain a final average of 70%.

Point is, conditional offer is bullshit.

So your telling me term 1 is useless :( and they only look at term 2. I always thought it was combined marks of term 1 and 2 that really counted.

If you can absorb lots of information quickly and won't get tired of reading through an entire textbook over the winter break, it'll be a breeze... much like any other course.

My average was 91 going into UBC Commerce (sauder), and I also got accepted from SFU. If you want arts, basically a mid 70s is all you really need for sfu, and about a low 80 for ubc. Keep in mind that you have to write a supplemental application for all UBC faculties, business at SFU, and UBC starting this year will look at your grade 11 marks. My friends in sciences all have high 80s, low 90s. If you guys want actual statistics based on acceptance rates, and averages for various institutions, PM me your email and I'll send you an excel spreadsheet, since I don't know if I'm openly allowed to publish things like that.

Students permanently to be admitted based on Grade 11 marksThe Ubyssey

This is not true, UBC recieved all my marks and you don't choose what you submit, everything on your transcript is automatically forwarded to UBC if you tick the box in the provincial exam result page. The only time where you can manually choose whether to submit or not, is if you are taking an online course, at which point if you missed the deadline set by your online institution where they automatically forward your marks, then you will have to manually fill it out yourself. (This happened to me for VLN and Surrey Connect)

Considering the averages now, mid 70s won't be enough for SFU arts, nor will low 80 be enough for UBC arts.

Don't worry if you screwed up Term 1, it is not as important as term 2. Try your best on your second term because that's what they'll most likely look at..

I disagree...


You submit your application with your term 1 marks so if you have less than decent term 1 marks, that's what the admissions officers are goint to see when they start to weed out students. Term 2 marks come out in June, and by then, most students will have already received their conditional acceptances.

Doing well in term 2 will do wonders for you in the long run, but doing shitty in term 1 is the loss of a strong lead you won't be able to gain back.

For SFU, term 1 marks are self-reported so they don't mean anything. A friend added an extra percent or two on each of his courses just to meet the entrance scholarship requirements, but of course...that offer was revoked in the end. Just saying that it's not reliable.

Don't they check in april to see if u bullshitted term one marks lol
