標題: UBC 係咪真係咁難入？ [打印本頁]

作者: imvitasoy 時間: 2012-1-27 07:01 標題: UBC 係咪真係咁難入？

聽講average 90 幾分都入唔到，
又聽講public school 學生的分數會打九折, private 中學就加分,
又聽講，入左去第二年踢出來好多 (high school 90 幾分嘅學生，無可能是也也烏，都頂唔住要踢?) ....
各位前輩，請問係真唔係啊？

佢地有個list, 知道邊間中學啲分有發水. 自然有加減.
私校有專人負責做report, 介紹信...自然好睇好多.

睇你想讀乜, sci 定 art?
舊年Commerce就97才可以在先收list. 最後都要90才入到(要加好多特別社會參與references).
Engineering要94才可以先收, 最低是87.
art就低好多80幾都入到.

大部份第二年kick out是"英文" 分... 海外生.

Easy or hard is relative.

作者: ACC-HE 時間: 2012-1-27 12:02

sounds crazy, but if u're not the 90+ students, do college first, then transfer in afterwards. The GPA requirement is much lower. I don't know why neither.

作者: 快樂牛郎 時間: 2012-1-27 15:38

is 90+ right now = 80+ 10 years ago?

真事, 我外甥生都係97分，剛剛 12 月 Harvard 通知佢 early admission。
97 分使鬼讀UBC 咯，

It is amazing how students can get 97% average these days. I still remember, even the top students in Hong Kong didn't get that high. There could be some grade inflation with the scoring methods here.

My son is 3rd year at UBC, but he is going to graduate in May, 1 year ahead of his buddies. He could be a lawyer when he turns 23

Going into UBC is easy, you can get into Forestry for like 70% average.

If you want to go to Business, you better get over 95%+

As well as agricultural management... They don't need high marks...

作者: tshkc 時間: 2012-1-29 20:09

Last year they didn't accept students with 95% + for Sauder, on the other hand people will 86-88% got it in for some reason. All I can say is, get really high marks + do A LOT of extra-circulars so you can fill the application fully because there are 10 spaces for extra-circulars and another 10 for rewards.

作者: 小叻 時間: 2012-1-30 16:42

UBC is not hard to get in if you know da tricks.
If you wanna get into Science or Arts but your mark is not high enough, then just apply Forestry or Agricultural Science.. admitted at ~70%, then get above 67% on your 1st year at UBC then do internal transfer to Faculty of Art or Science.. But if you want to go to Commerce.. or Econ.. better study at Kwantlen or other colleges where you can get higher marks than at UBC...

i don't know
maybe i am too naive
i just know that I went to a shxt school but it didn't affect me

or maybe it did
maybe i would be making 3 times as much now if i didn't go to a shxt school
so maybe you are right

好多年前請過 d fresh grad, UBC 同 SFU 都分別不大，每間都有好有壞. 要睇個別. 但係D 乜乜 college 物物 college, so far 都未見過d好.

作者: tshkc 時間: 2012-1-30 20:38

"覺得" haha, yea because I know so many more people who deserve to be in UBC than those who were actually accepted, so technically "覺得" applies. Either way, people strive for the higher education at the "so-called" prestigious universities because employers, especially those outside BC "覺得" students that got into UBC is "so-called" superior to the others who didn't get in. A university degree is like the new high school diploma. With the amount of competition out there, trying to get into the "better" university may help boost your competitiveness when you graduate? I don't know, which university you get into definitely isn't the only determinate of how successful you will be.

who knows? maybe i'm the naive one.

Fresh grad 好難作準，人生第一份工作，好多人都係烏下烏下，呢個可以明白+原諒。

不過在下嘅經驗，一般來講，名校學生嘅vision 的確廣闊好多，注意，係“好多"。Fresh grad 可能未睇得出，但是一齊工作一二年後，潛質就會顯示出來。先聲明，在下無講UBC 是名校，亦無講SFU 非名校。不過如果以世界觀來睇，Ivy，berkeley，LSE , oxbridge, 果D 先叫名校。

(當然世事無絕對，又囉 steve jobs 做例？唔使啦啩... ) 唔好用黑布綁住眼睛說話，名校出身，溝女都容易D, 個女仔家長都對你放心D, 真實世界，確是如此. 全世界每年咁多人打生打死為入牛精哈佛，你當佢哋浪得虛名？

Unless you put down some no name college, a computer filter system would not filter you out just because you went to SFU not UBC. and then at the interview, a sharp guy from SFU would always trump a horrible guy from UBC

The companies here are unwilling to invest in fresh graduates, due to high cost of doing businesses here. The best talent just leave the country.

廿年前，sfu 一向都有人知....流口水。
近年sfu 聽講進步不少，商科好叻，有幾叻在下就唔知，不過幾年前，有一次在香港某大機購，聽到兩個阿嬋對話，話個女考入加拿大"最勁" 既大學 Simon Fraser..... 所以話，一定有人知。

(在下無加鹽加醋，真系個嬋的原本說話，"最勁" )

Commerce has always difficult to get in. It's board based admission so even if you have high 90s+ you might not get in if you don't have any extra curricular activities.

I don't know about adjusting marks for public vs private schools though. It's a rumor and I actually it's easier to get higher marks in some private schools because you are paying a very high tuition fee and the school wants the students to "succeed."

A lot of people get kicked out. Usually due to 1. LPI 2. GPA 3. Lack of interest.

Uniform exams are required to prevent "grade inflation" in some high schools.
