The marks put on the SFU site are general guidelines. For instance if this is a strong year (which it likely will be) then the admission cut off will be a lot higher than the ones put on the guideline.

I know university is glamorized in this society but you might want to invest your time more wisely by doing something else instead. First and second year university courses are generally designed to weed out people who cannot handle university level studies (there are 500 students in one lecture hall in an UBC economics course for example - although this is quite excessive even considering university class sizes). These people end up going to college and end up transferring back to university.

I'm guessing applied sciences = engineering? I have relatively no interest in science so forgive my ignorance if that's not what you're going into but nonetheless I suggest you strongly research what BCIT can provide for you.

As for transferring between faculties in a university, it can be done. All you have to do is take the courses required for the faculty you want to get into with sufficient grades and it should be done.

IMO don't worry about supplementary unless if you're borderline or going into business. Time spent worry about supplementary can be used to study instead :P

Also go check out bctransferguide.ca and see if that can help you out.
