about me and my channel:
I am currently in my 4th year studying at the University of British Columbia. I study commerce with a concentration in accounting and supply chain. In my free time, I love to work out & play basketball, read, and try new restaurants! I recently rebranded my channel to incorporate lifestyle vlogs and videos relating to my university and corporate life (I am currently employed with a big 4 accounting firm). I hope to shed light on the realities behind attending business school and working in the corporate world. And if you are from a different part of the world, I hope you catch a glimpse of beautiful British Columbia in my videos!

I have my course registration today for eng and this was super useful, thanks
Thank you for this video! This was extremely helpful
this was so helpful! im hoping to work on my public speaking skills as well!
Sheesh this was so complete thanks for the info.
Good luck post school.
Proud of you!
Ahh super insightful! I am a first-year Sauder student looking for some info and this was really informative!
So glad to hear this :)
great advice, very helpful!
Thanks Katrina!!!
My mom and I stumbled across this video while looking for stuff about UBC Sauder (I applied and am still waiting to hear back as of now 🤞🏻). What you had to say was super helpful and I will definitely be back to watch your other Sauder videos! ✨
Best of luck, Julia!
did you get in?
YES IM DOING THE IB AND IM SO NERVOUS ABOUT THE IO NEXT MONTH AAAA
Hey Katrina! I really loved the fact when I saw your Linkedin profile you did the Global SCLM program! I just got admitted and waiting for the exchanges! :D Greetings from Copenhagen Business School :)
That’s amazing! You’re going to have the best time ☺️
@@KatrinaKwong What sounds harder to your ears 1. MBA or 2. Masters Degree in Statistics?
i'm not in sauder (going into arts) but this was still super helpful !! ty !
Glad to hear this!
Heyyy how is it going for you so far??
Totally agree that you shouldn't do "GPA boosters", you'll probably do better on electives you find interesting and you'll probably enjoy it more haha, great video! 👍
Thanks for the comment Ming! Means a lot to hear from you :)
I’m gonna go to Sauder just cuz of this video !!!!!!
XD
Awesome video! I was wondering what the Sauder acceptance rate is annually, I’ve seen 6% and 40%, ranging all over the place. Do you have an estimate?
I have no way of knowing this, unfortunately...sorry about that!
Hi im also Sauder and struggling choosing the 298(early finance) course bc the seats are limited. My average is a A- and im wondering how does Sauder mark their As and how many students or percentage would be in front of my grade, Thanks.
Hey..
Which cource you are doing in saunder!!?
hi kat, can i ask something about masters degrees?
Hi Katrina, how is the co-op at Sauder and do you know what the process is like to join that program?
Personally, I am not too familiar with the program, but I believe there is an application process (must submit a cover letter and resume) and then I think they have one or two rounds of interviews. I'd be happy to invite a guest onto the channel to talk about their co-op experience!
@@KatrinaKwong That sounds great, I'd love to hear someone else's experience, thank you for the info!
Hey
I wanna know
How many marks are needed to get a good amount of schlorship from saunder ...like it mainly depend on 12th or 11th??
Sorry, I don't have information about scholarships. Perhaps you could search the UBC website for specific details!
Hello.. I am really tensed about one thing. What if I don't get accepted :(
Application in ubc starts in October and the deadline in universities in my city is in June.
I will get my 12th standard results in May, so I will have to skip applying in my city, wait till October and apply in ubc but what if I don't get accepted?
Can you please suggest something for that..?
This is a really dumb question, I'm going to Sauder this fall and I'm wondering on avg what is the salary for Sauder grads post grad? Excluding any PMF people.
It really depends on which avenue you pick! Like it could range from 42k to 90k. You would likely make more working in the industry over public practice (btw they don’t teach you this in sauder, you just kinda learn from yourself and those around you).
Heyy ... Really helpful video ....also How is the application process like into sauder ?
It is pretty straight forward. You will need to create an account. You can start through this link: www.sauder.ubc.ca/programs/masters-degrees/ubc-mba/how-to-apply?gclid=Cj0KCQjwlMaGBhD3ARIsAPvWd6i0yNJ1fLi1q7p63i8Sf_P9pDXWgmR3I2YI_-CVcEfVlFqXAsMuLZQaAnKKEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
From there, you should be given guidance within your account or via email! :)
Is there someone by the name of Ani Hosepyan?? I believe she's in administration If so, tell her hi from an old friend.
How are the job opportunities and what are the salaries like?
This question is pretty difficult to answer because within the business faculty, there are different specializations (eg. marketing, accounting, finance, hr) and depending on which concentration you focus on, there are a different number of opportunities. For example, I personally think there are more accounting internship opportunities than investment banking (finance-related) internships. From my knowledge, investment banking jobs would pay more, but it is also much more competitive. For salary expectations overall, I highly recommend checking out Glassdoor to compare industry standards! But all in all, I think business is a safe major to go into because every job out there in the real world is related to business, one way or another. Your knowledge and business expertise will be valuable wherever you end up going :)
did you find sauder's program to be math heavy?
Not at all!
Minimum grade need for Sauder school admission.....
Hi ! Is there any chance that I can go to sauder with the b com degree and specialize in economics? Since economics wasn’t an option in the saucer program.. just asking also , is there enough time to do a part time off campus?
Hi Michelle! You could most certainly do a major in business and minor in economics. That is very possible. Economics falls under the Arts faculty, however I know people that have done both. I think it is possible to do part-time work off campus. It just comes down to how your schedule compacts together in the day and whether you have the energy to manage studying, commuting, and working!
@@KatrinaKwong thank u soo much !!!!
@@KatrinaKwong and also if u do not mind is there any possibility that i could reach someone who did that specific degree( b com - specilize in economics? so i could ask a couple of more qns?) if thats ok?thank you so much in advance .
@@michellesilva7366 Hey, perhaps reach out to my LinkedIn and I can connect you to an individual on that platform :)
@@KatrinaKwong done!
what mark is required to get accepted into sauder?
When I joined the school in 2017, the minimum average was 84%, however the actual entering grade average was mid 90’s. But an 84+ can still get you into the school if you have a strong personal profile (this would include your written statements, extracurricular involvements, and online interview)!
@@KatrinaKwong thanks so much!! do you know if it’s harder to get accepted for students out of province?
@@jasminez4343 I’m not sure about the statistics for this, unfortunately, but from my own experience there’s lot’s of diversity (international students and Canadian students from out of province)!
Hi Katrina! Thank you so much for these informations!! I got admitted to the Faculty of Applied Science this year in UBC, however, I want to study in the business program, so I'm wondering if it is hard for people from applied science to transfer into Sauder for the second year? And did many people transfer like this successfully? Thank you so much!
Hi, thank you for reaching out! I'm not 100% sure about the difficulty level of transferring to the business program, however, I will be inviting a friend to join me on my channel to talk about his transition from the engineering faculty to the business faculty. Stay tuned :)
@@KatrinaKwong Thank you!! Looking forward to your upcoming video!!!
Hi! Episode 3 is now live thanks to your inquiry! Hope you enjoy the video about transferring into Sauder from a different faculty
@@KatrinaKwong Thanks! I'll go check it out!
nice skin kat
