Hello, I wasn’t able to form a realistic expectations for UBCs website alone and wanted some other opinions.
Intended Major: Physics
SAT: 1340 (730 Math/610 English R&W)
SAT II: Plan on taking them in October (Math/Chemistry)
I am taking I.B; my subjects are - the grades next to them are my final year 11 grades
Psychology HL: 7
Physics HL: 7
English A HL: 7
Arabic B HL: 6
Math SL: 7
Chemistry SL: 7
I’m sure those wont b in any way representative of my final IB grade - I expect to get around a 34 or 35 excluding bonus points from TOK etc…
Not sure exactly how to calculate GPA from IB grades, but we were told that a 6 and 7 were approximately equal to a 4.0. I’m not sure how much the class rank counts given that we are an extremely small class (around 18 students) - but I’d rank first if it was necessary to list.
Extracurriculars:
Full year internship at first ever women gym in Saudi Arabia
Cashier at a supermarket
Assistant Martial Arts instructor JKD
Directed a short film that was accepted in a small film festival
Worked as a camp counselor (in film and programming (python)) for a summer
I’ve read a lot of posts about students who were faaaar superior and got rejected so I was starting to get a bit worried and wanted to ask about it. Our school hasn’t really provided much help when it comes to college applications since most students are going to a local Uni so any tips will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
