I think the reason why the program doesn't (or shouldn't?) reject students is because the students compete against each other in the job market anyways. In other words, the employers make the final selection anyways so there isn't much point in depriving students of the chance to even try.
As for the work experience, it is definately a +1 if you have related work experience (more like +5 in your case, i guess). Marks secure the interview but experience is what seperates the interviewees.

Thanks so much man, definetly some useful advice...
Thing with me is, I actually have a target co-op job that i have in mind already, not to say that the ubc symplicity site doesn't have its decent share of job offerings.
Unlilke most other people i know, i'm actually willing to relocate to different places so long as the company is reputable and can allow me to garner experience that is even more beneficial that what i have already.
