There are quite a few pieces of information from UBC that may be of interest to you. I will try to organize them in a logical fashion. Feel free to contact me, or any of the academic advisors from UBC for more details and/or information.Applying to UBC:
- General admission's application requirements: High school graduation; English 12 + 3 grade 12 courses (provincially examinable courses). Please note: program-specific requirements would be beyond this basic set of requirements.
- Admission average: would be calculated based on English 12 and the three grade 12 examinable courses. The courses UBC will look at differ from faculty to faculty.
- Broad Based Application: some programs use broad based admission, in which supplementary info about activities and achievements outside of the classroom is used in addition to academics to select qualified applicants. Broad based application is mandatory for some programs (e.g. Sauder School of Business, the school of performing arts) and optional for others (e.g. Faculty of Science, Faculty of Engineering, Faculty of Human Kinetics).

- English Language Admission Requirements (this is different from 1st year English proficiency requirements): you must have studied three years in a Canadian school OR meet the admission standard through an English proficiency tests (e.g. TOEFL), OR receive 70% or above from your English 12 PROVINCIAL EXAM to apply to UBC.
- 1st Year English Requirements: Almost all first year programs require 6 credits (= 2 courses) of first-year English. In order to take these courses, you must either achieve 75% in English 12 (blended mark OR school mark) OR obtain a level 5 from the LPI.
- For those of you who are confused about the difference between admission English requirements and first-year English requirements, go to this former entry for a more detailed explanation: Click Here
- Applying to UBC: can be done online (click here). Be sure you have your biographical information, 2 program choices, and your provincial examination number (PEN) ready.
- Choosing your program: priority would be given to students who have a specific program as their first choice - be mindful when you are declaring your 1st and 2nd choice.
- After you have submitted your application, you should receive an e-mail acknowledging that your application has been received. In the e-mail, you will be given a temporary UBC student number, as well as detailed directions to access UBC's student information system called the SSC.
