Top 4 courses were at a 85% average.
Got early conditional offer to SFU business and only had to maintain a 67% average or so after my last 2 marks came out to get my full offer. This was in 2008.

For those taking IB. I got accepted into Beedie and UBC engineering with 30 IB points and a decent supplemental - with a condition of maintaining at least 24, however I didn't get into Sauder. Meanwhile a friend got into UBC arts with a predicted mark of 36 but a final grade of 22, but they let her in anyway, everyone should just apply anyway even if you are doubting your chances, work hard on the supplemental I guess

Find some literature (this can range from business to fantasy to motivational, etc etc...) and figure out what genre you prefer, then read the fucking hell out of it.
I can attest to the significant impact that reading will have on both your verbal and written English. I've improved more in the last 3.5 yearthan I did for my first 18 years of schooling, and there is only a single thing I can attribute to my improvement: READING! Not only does it improve your vocabulary, it gives you a better idea of sentence structuring which plays a huge role in how effective and persuasive your writing is.
Just my two cents. Best of luck!

Just make sure you don't drop so low that you have to take LPI exam. I dropped below the requirement, and then I had to take the LPI in order to get into my first year english course. (This is for UBC, but probably the same for SFU and other post secondary schools)

reading helps for sure, but I'm not even a reader.
my "secret" was just to "imitate" someone else's writing until I could fully internalize it think of it naturally. like for example, just read a few pages by someone who you think is a good reader. don't read for pleasure or for the information, just study how they write. how they start their sentences, end their paragraphs, use punctuation, connect shit, etc. once you get the structure down just pick and plop words and you're good to go. of course structure is only half of it, you need to analyse and think up the proper content. also last tip, most teachers will prefer flowery writing. in reality it sounds retarded but it shows you can write.
by the way, im not some pompous douche, im just playing around haha. like said earlier, highschool is a joke. but people always find it hilarious/unbelievable when they ask and I tell them I got 100%

Must be easy to get 100% in English when you're taking courses like "Art Foundations", Entrepreneurship and "Film Studies"  | |

Got into UBC Arts with an 80 average, with a very very solid extra-curricular resume to back me up however.
Cut-off was apparently 73 into Arts for 2012, so lower than average.

Sauder was 86 as far as I'm aware. It's always fluctuates within the 86 to 90 range. It's because they introduced the broad-based application system, a mix of extracurricular and academics are required.

Apparently if you apply earlier it gives you a higher chance of getting in, since they have to fill up their class lists. I think for Sauder the admission AVERAGE was 92? There were people who got in with 86 that applied early, had a boatload of EC, etc.

In my opinion, it's quality over quantity. I'd be more focused on writing those supplemental essays on things that are relevant to what you're going into. For example if you want to go into something like kinesiology you can write about how you suffered an injury while working out and the research you did to decrease your downtime ignited an interest in how the human body works.
Unless you're going for business, which is a lot more indepth in terms of admission process, my advice to all those without much EC's is to extend the truth a little, ask some of the alumni from previous years who got into the program you want to get into for the essays they wrote. Just make sure the references you put down are solid and the things that are questionable can be answered.
