UBC 係咪真係咁難入 ？ 都, private, average, public, school

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 ？

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

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.

agreed~ I swear, some of the TA's english might even be at an ESL level... their accents makes their english sound like @!#$##%#$%$%... if the TA's can't speak fluent english, why do the students need to speak fluent english?

You can't expect SFU students to speak fluent English even though they get high marks in their majors. Some of them are still in ESL level...

返到香港, 人地問你讀邊間大學... 如果話sfu... 好小人知 ......

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" )

    Many fresh grads got their first jobs in the US or in Asia,  among them some may relocate back to Canada with a more appealing resume.
