<p>accepted at UBC...</p>
<p>congratulations sp...thats great news...</p>
<p>thanks....well i really dont plan on attending. Waiting for a year and applying to princeton...u know my plan :p</p>
<p>i know...but its still good to be acknowledged..,</p>
<p>UBC is a great school, however i was always under the impression that it was easy to gain admission i have 3 friends from school allof whom had a SAT of 1000-11000 and low Gpas one had a 2.7, all got in.</p>
<p>yeah same from my school. I really feel that I deserve better. well anyway...I got the presidential entrance scholarshio ($4K)...so if i dont stay home during my gap year, il just go to UBC</p>
<p>its easier for international students to get in, thats why, but 2.7/1000 is quite low in my opinion.</p>
<p>UBC is one of the toughest schools to gain admission for canadians. in terms of incoming high school student grade averages:</p>
<p>2003 queens mcgill ubc
2004 mcgil queens ubc</p>
<p>i<code>m really curious as to why it</code>s easeir for intel`s to get in?</p>
<p>sorry my mistake</p>
<p>2002 Montreal, Queens, UBC, McGill, Toronto
2003 McGill, Queens, Montreal, UBC, Toronto</p>
<p>canadian schools want diversity and tuition from the international students, thats why its relatively easier.</p>
<p>Guess what I just found out today:</p>
<p>"Based on a review of your interim grades, you do not qualify for admission."</p>
<p>Goddamn it!</p>
<p>Wow, that's odd. Your stats were better than mine. Hm.</p>
<p>Anyway...anyone else going to UBC this fall? Or am I the only one?</p>
<p>Well, at least Simon Fraser accepted me...for the time being, that is. </p>
<p>I'll probably transfer to UBC for my sophomore year. I wonder if you're planning to stay there for the full four years, wolfstarslasher?</p>
<p>going ubc this fall.. international.</p>
<p>yah, I am from Vancouver, UBC is great! but a bit competitive, and i think it's really easy to apply for scholarships in here, not sure though..</p>
<p>prethumous: I plan to graduate from UBC, which will probably only take me 3 years, since I have enough AP credit to make up a whole year. I don't know if they'll let me do that, but I'm going to try :).</p>
<p>melon: i think you're considered for all scholarships automatically, which makes it easy. Though some your school has to nominate you for.</p>
<p>are there any other intels who will be attending ubc this fall?</p>

<p>Not quite. </p>
<p>The campus IS within the city proper, but is admittedly situated on a secluded peninsula a dozen or so kilometres away from the city centre. (If mapquest.ca can be trusted.)</p>
<p>As for buses: there's #4 to Powell, #17 to Downtown, and the speedy (i.e. Express) #99 to Broadway/Commercial Drive, to name only the most prominent.</p>
