Fuck me.

I wouldn't bother applying. You need like 70 something to even get considered. But that's just with my circle of friends.
Take a shot.. It doesn't really hurt I guess.
Good luck

Unless you started your own business, competed in the Olympics, built houses in sub-Saharan Africa, can speak 5 languages, travelled the world and are generally a very interesting person I wouldn't apply.

That is too low I think. Why do you want to be in Sauder anyways? It's a trap. 
You can always victory lap your worst courses in a local college to a 80-90 average and then reapply. They would really be wowed by that. Being good all the time is not as equally appreciated as being bad and having the mentality to get back up.

Originally Posted by GGnoRE If you want to transfer to Sauder, then the workload will be intense. Much harder than getting into Sauder straight from highschool.

I don't want to discourage you, but please be prepared to work your ass off. Good luck. | Frankly speaking, I wouldn't apply for a transfer this year with 55~60% grades and I would strongly advise you to step up for game from now on. I know marks are not everything about university but GPA that low will do close to nothing for you in the end. Grades determine your chances for internships, professional grad schools, full-time employment etc.. Perhaps Sauder is not the problem you should be thinking about right now.

Yeah, if you wanted to get into Sauder why are you slacking? Boggles the mind.

I have an interview tomorrow for a startup but realized I have no dress clothes at my dorm with me. Interview is in Gastown though, so I'm just going to go full hipster and hope it works out.  | |

^ haha I find startup companies are a little less formal about clothing because they are usually a much smaller team but I don't know about "full hipster". Do you mean as close to semi-casual as possible?

No I really meant I have nothing I could consider semi-casual. No shirts, cardigans, or blazers. Might have to stop in at H&M and pick up a blazer and then return it..

You might send the interviewers the wrong message by showing up in casual clothing. First impressions play a huge role in interviews and under-dressing might hurt you in that aspect. Clothes aside, good luck with the interview.

UBC sauder "All attempts at core courses are used in the calculation of your core average." | Like others have said, I wouldn't even both with the application. Even if you're in Sauder, you need to maintain a minimum of 65% within your core courses to stay in, so if your avgs are already lower than that, I highly doubt they'll even look at your application twice. I know they said they'll use all attempts at core courses to calculate your average, but I guess you can try to cheat the system but taking those core courses and all transfer courses at a different college, work your ass off, and don't submit a transcript from your old college with the low grades on it. I doubt they'll check at every college to see if you've attended

I'm actually on academic probation right now, based on my first term average which is 51% thanks to me epic failing PSYC101 by A LOT So I'm really trying to hone in on my grades this term. Quote:

If they want you, chances are they'll hire you if you do well in the interview.
i.e. I got hired at Toyota wearing black skinny jeans and a trenchcoat, full blown hipster.

At a midterm review lecture for POLI100 and man the TA is a joke. Prof told us 2-3 sentences on short answer is more than enough. TA said she'd mark tougher because "some people write much more than 3 sentences and raise the bar higher so we have to mark harder."
Seriously, what the fuck? The moment she said that, half the lecture hall stood up and left.

Interview went well, since the founder of the startup is a student too she didn't really dress up either. Pulled a "okay, now you interview me" which I usually hate doing but we had a good discussion.
And for people that took Psych 208, has Dr. Wehr lectured about cancer before? He was saying so many dumb things about it today, including "cancer is technically the native state of the cell so we should all have it" and "Genetically modified foods often use the genetic material from viruses which means we're giving ourselves the virus by eating them which causes cancer."  | |
