Improving chances for UBC

Hi, I’m an international student with an IB Diploma and I recently applied to the faculty of applied science, mechanical engineering. However, I was rejected because my results weren’t at the competitive standards and ubc was my top priority. However, I am currently serving my national service and have 1 year and a half, so I am thinking of re applying. Any tips on improving my chances for admission? Would taking the SAT help even with the IB Diploma? Would online courses help?

R u a Korean? I have a feeling you’re in the army. You should get higher SAT scores or try ACT.

Nah I’m singaporean. But thanks! Really appreciate it.

Hey f161, is it okay if you share ur ib scores and course choices? I would like to know if I can get a shot at UBC.

If you don’t want to share, I don’t mind. Thanks!

God I thought you were a Korean hahaha
