-Community service since 2010 (500 hours)

<p>I’ve taken 11 AP courses (each with 4’s and 5’s:
-World History

<p>Also, what is the supplementary application that everyone keeps on talking about for applying undergraduate to UBC? </p>

<p>Any help and opinions would be greatly appreciated regarding on getting accepted into UBC, my primary choice of schools. If possible, could anyone with insight please tell me how I will look for University of Toronto St. George and McGill University? </p>

<p>Thanks!!</p>

<p>I’m not sure what the new supplementary application is, but I think you’re pretty much a shoo-in to those schools, as long as you keep your grades up. Good luck!</p>

<p>You’re a shoo-in to either school. UBC does lay the smack down on American grades, but you’ll be fine.</p>

<p>To answer your question about the supplemental application, that’s the small essays you have to write and submit (it’s abnormal in Canada, which is why it’s noted on the application).</p>

<p>Thanks for the reassurance. I received my acceptance last Friday!</p>
