CHANGED FOR STUDENTS GRADUATING IN JUNE 2019 AND LATER.

• THESE ADMISSIONS CHANGES ARE A REFLECTION OF THE CHANGES IN B.C.’S

GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS AND CURRICULUM

• BEFORE: ADMISSION WAS BASED ON ENGLISH 12 + 3 ACAD. GRADE 12

COURSES (DEPENDING ON FACULTY). THIS WAS A SMALL SNAPSHOT OF A STUDENT’S PERFORMANCE AND ABILITIES.

• NOW: STUDENT PERFORMANCE IS VIEWED FROM A BROADER PERSPECTIVE

(NOT JUST FOUR GRADE 12 COURSES), TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION GRADE 11 AND 12 COURSES (STARTING IN 2019 FOR UBC; IN 2020 FOR SFU)

UBC

• A MORE HOLISTIC, BROAD VIEW OF STUDENTS’ PERFORMANCE, INCLUDING COURSES TAKEN IN BOTH

GRADE 11 & 12

• UBC CONSIDERS BREADTH, RIGOUR, AND RELEVANCY OF COURSES, AS WELL AS GRADES IN ALL

ACADEMIC COURSES, WITH A PARTICULAR FOCUS ON SUBJECTS RELATED TO A STUDENT’S INTENDED AREA OF STUDY AT UBC

• ADMISSION IS BASED ON:
• 1. CORE ACADEMIC AVERAGE (DEGREE-SPECIFIC PREREQUISITE COURSES)
• 2. OVERALL ACADEMIC AVERAGE (ALL ACADEMIC GRADE 11/12 COURSES, NOT INCLUDING ADST, P.E….
• 3. PERSONAL PROFILE:
• 5 TO 7 QUESTIONS WHERE STUDENTS REFLECT ON PAST EXPERIENCES, ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND CHALLENGES
• OPPORTUNITY FOR STUDENTS TO TELL MORE ABOUT RELEVANT LIFE EXPERIENCES THAT WILL STRENGTHEN THEIR APPLIC.
• NOT ABOUT SIMPLY LISTING ACTIVITIES, BUT BEING ABLE TO EXPLAIN WHAT YOU’VE LEARNED FROM YOUR EXPERIENCES
• SAMPLE QUESTION: “EXPLAIN HOW YOU HAVE RESPONDED TO A SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGE THAT YOU HAVE

ENCOUNTERED, AND WHAT YOU LEARNED IN THE PROCESS.”
