Hi! I’m a French prospective student at UBC and i’d like to ask some questions to someone about it. Could I get an email or whatever in order to ask those questions of mine ? :) thanks
UBC is my dream school and I am applying this fall and this was so helpful!!!
Best of luck!!
same here!! goodluck :)
same!! good luck :)
Same man good luck:)
You got this! May the odds be ever in your favor!! 💕
They way that she lowered her voice when talking about partying😅😂😂
I found this super helpful and I'm preparing ahead of time and am going to Highschool next year so this is an amazing guide for going here because this is my dream university. Thanks so much for posting
This was in depth! Thanks!
This is my third year at UBC, and I love it. I've been lucky to be able to live at home in Richmond the whole time, so I haven't lived on campus. I imagine one of the benefits of a shared washroom is that a staff person cleans it, as opposed to the single joined washroom, which you might be expected to clean yourself. On the other hand, the shared washroom would be more likely to be subject to vandalism or sudden messiness.
pls share some info related to phd studies for an international applicant .thanks in advance
this makes me so excited for ubc!! i can not wait to apply this fall, thank you for this video series it’s so so helpful!!
IM GLAD! Unis shouldn't be this scary thing, they should exude excitement and opportunity. Best of luck!
i’ll also apply!! good luck :)
I'm so excited, this is very informative!!! Thanks for the insight, as an international student, this is a great video to understand how Canadian schools are like.
Canada has some great schools! Hope you decide to come
Fellow pegasus fan
Tysm for posting! I'm committing to UBC soon :)
YAYY!!
Thank you for sharing.
I'm so excited to see queens and hopefully not regret my choice 😁
Unfortunately, the series is now over but I'm still posting academic content! Check out my recent vids, I just started my classes at HARVARD!
Queen's is a really fun school! You're definitely going to make tons of memories there!
Very informative video! Thanks a lot. Please make more such videos ❤️
Glad you liked it :)
Hello, I'm Maxwell, a Ghanaian International student from Africa and I intend to have my masters in UBC. I had a CGPA of 3.47 on a scale of 4.0 CGPA, what are my chances of gaining admissions please?
word of advice DO NOT come to engineering if you don't breathe math and physics
HAHA makes sense
Whyy?
I thought I was good at math and physics, but engineering taught me that I am NOT good at them at all
@Nishant Verma honestly it depends on what exactly you're doing in computer science. Both that and engineering are full on math. If your average is below 75 or 70 (from highschool) I wouldn't advise to do it for literally you will be living on logs and functions for those course. Also if you're taking IB courses (I am) then you have a greater chance of success as they teach you ahead of time how to do these things in highschool.
Yes, computer science can be easier, but it involves a lot more of physics (which is also full on math). You do you, if you believe you'll succeed and will study your hardest go for it.
In engineering be aware that over half of your classmates will fail or drop out by the 3rd lol it is super intense (much alike to medical school). Really uou need to focus on math as anything to do with computers, electronics, science and such.. it's sole purpose is math and how to branch off of it.
Good luck 👍
See you all there on campus this fall!
Yess make those friends !!
Great information!
Thanks for watching!!
500th subscriber haha! Congrats!!:)
Thanks for subbing and joining the family :D
This video was super informative and helpful for my sister, she's planning to apply there after finishing high school. Do you have any plans to make a video like this for Grad level students? Would love to see an honest review by a current grad student at ubc!
I don't know a whole lot of people doing their Master's right now, but maybe in the near future, when my contact network gets larger, a vid like that could be possible!
I got accepted IM SO HAPPYYYYY
YOU DESERVE IT
Thaaaanks Nathan I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL 😍
Fellow Moroccan ? Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🎉
CONGRAAATSSS
Omg could you give me some tips please
I’ll be study there, I promise 🥺🇨🇦
Manifesting it for you, bestie
Sounds like so much fun but also very scary... I'm going this fall, hopefully I'll be fine
University is a big change... but you're going to LOVE IT
She is so cute.....she becomes one of the reasons I wanna go to UBC😂💞
Super genuine!
Hi, I'm going to apply to ubc this october and i wanted to check if it was possible to do the first year as a more general year..
I checked on the website and i think its possible to do sciences or more literary subjects right?
Really want to apply to UBC next year but don’t know if the university is expensive and if my grades in school are very good to get accepted
So helpful, thank you!! Does anyone know any acting students at UBC? I'm going to apply but I can't find any students in this field (or just arts in general) from UBC to get an idea of what's like
I don't know anyone in the drama department, but hopefully someone that is in it, will come across your comment 🤞
Hey did you find any students from faculty of arts. I too want to pursue that in ubc.
Hey, turns out I'm looking to do the exact same course as you at UBC as a year-abroad course. What was your experience in third year?
Thank you
You're most welcomee
I’m around an 85 percentage with volunteering, job experience and community involvement on my personal profile. Is that enough cuz I’m worried about my grades not being good enough. Already go rejected by commerce (which was kinda expected) but I’m really hoping for arts
Rejection is redirection! Don't dwell on it, arts may be even better for you 😊
do a lot of people who live on campus own cars to get around?
Gonna study there soon
You'll love it
Is UBC hard to get in? the acceptance rate is over 50% on the net but I've heard so much on how it's apparently tough to get in (im an international student)
Doesn't matter if you're an international student. If you meet the admission requirements and you're what the school is looking for, you'll have a shot!
@@NathanWu sorry a little late here , how’s the community ? Over at Toronto people are very cut throat
"omg are u Vikram Tapadia from Instagram"
Very helpful vid ty. Please help me! I’ve lived in CA my whole life and was accepted to the UBC and Sciences Po Dual Degree. I hope to attend law school like she said, but in the US. Do you know anything about the program or do u know how helpful this dual degree would b when applying to law school in the US? It’s in my top two choices, I’m hesitating bc I’m afraid I won’t find enough research/internships w such a big school.
If anything a dual degree might set your apart from a competitive applicant pool, so that's a good thing. As for research, it might be tougher because all your classmates may want to do the same, but the benefit of a big school is the connection for internships!
Hi, I have a question: It’s not anything related to admission requirements or the courses they offer but does UBC have certain dress codes that the students there have to follow or do they allow students to wear whatever they want and have whatever hairstyle they want? I’m asking this because I want to be careful in choosing what universities are suitable and safe for me to express myself.
I don't think they have restrictions concerning what you wear
is geography in there? I want to complete my bachelor degree in geography.
me watching this rn after the article came out :eyes:
what do you mean?
that’s my roomie 🥰🥰
awww
I really want to go to ubc but I live in Toronto Ontario. Do you think that the acceptance rate for those that live in another province is lower??
For undergrad programs, it doesn't matter
Also I wanted to ask about intramurals. How do they work like do I find new people to play with once I get there or do I need to come in with a team of friends to play with?
Also how many can I take?
You can sign up as a team or you can sign up as an individual and they will place you in a group.
@@NathanWu how many can I take in a week?
Lol just got the offer yesterday for fall.
Congrats!!!
Love to hear that! Best of luck and enjoy!!
hi! i plan on applying to ubc. im an international student and school dates differ. by september, which according to the website is the start of application, 1st term probably just ended in my school… the last submission would be around january when my 2nd term probably ends. will they accept my 7-11 grades and 12 to follow?
I'm not sure about administration details. Check on the website
u can just provide predicted scores thats what I did :)
is ubc good for computer sciences?
Can you please please do u of a? I just applied🥺
I am bit skeptical as I applied for international award at ubc. As UBC rarely send email but mostly its through SSC that we check everything. But now I am getting mails from ubc directory of International Students Initiative , recruitment team with a tag of caution - NON UBC EMAIL[...] IS it a phisher ?
Could u please help
If you're worried, you should email the school and they'll be able to help you out further. Make sure you don't give any personal information via email as schools will never ask you to do that...
pls provide some infos related to phd study in UBC for international applicant
Is it hard to get into UBC as an international student? And also what are the things i could do rn (im currently in 8th grade) that could maximize my chances of getting in UBC? Thanks!
UBC is one of the most international unis in the world! You're still so young so I wouldn't worry about uni until Grade 9/10. Just enjoy for now!
@@NathanWu great advice , it’s sad that kids so young are worried about this !
Can students who lives in dorm workes while studying?
Is a (Texas GPA scale) 3.6 unweighted and 4.3 weighted GPA good for UBC? I also graduated highschool with an associates of science. I took extra curricular's like HOSA, UIL, Youth and Gov, Track, NHS, the academic sweatshirt, and 200 community service hours.
UBC is looking for well-rounded students and if you think you fit that mold, definitely apply! Admissions don't work like a checklist, the committee looks at your application holistically, so it is difficult to predict if doing ____ and ____ will get you in. Nonetheless, continue developing yourself for the strongest portfolio possible!
I have a question: If I would like to get a psychology degree and go to law school should I take their juris doctor course for law, or just get a bachelor in arts?
The requirements for law school in terms of your undergrad are known to be very flexible. Study something you would enjoy and be able to obtain a high GPA. That would be beneficial for your application to law.
@@NathanWu Thank you so much! Great video by the way.
Nathan Wu and the range of high GPA ? Is it (3.5-4) or (2.5-4), could you please ....?
tina yonjan 3.5-4 is generally considered a high/competitive gpa
Can you please do The University of Alberta. I will really appreciate it
Unfortunately, the series has ended, at least for now. I am posting new videos weekly and I hope that you are enjoying them as much as you did this series!
People are actually interested going there 😭
@@somejinggg Did you say that as a good thing orrrrr?
Is architecture good at that school?
I’m currently in year 10 and I want to study in UBC real bad. I want to study medical, do you recommend studying medical in UBC, is it good ?
They have a great medical school!
I'm taking my A level exams next year and I don't know what subjects do I need to pick😐 I want to do architecture in UBC and I'm a little bit confused about the choice of subjects! I need help 🙂
I'm also taking my a level exams next year and i also wanna do architecture in UBC. The subjects i picked for my a levels are Math, Physics and Chemistry.
Those seem like great choices!
I really want to go ubc! From jp
manifesting it for you!!
My grade 11 wasnt the best and It didnt work to my full potential. For my senior year I will do everything I can to get the highest I can hopefully getting Straight A’s my senior year. Do you think I still have a chance? Even tho my grade 11 was not the best.
I commend you on that positive attitude. I, for sure, think you have a chance! What's done is done; you can't change your Grade 11 marks, but you can still work hard and kill your senior year! Good luck!
Nathan Wu Thank you very much, Its summer right now and I feel super motivated lol. Hopefully in a few months I can give you a positive update!
how did it go!!
@@hansmorales4802 did you get in???
@@Valoramichelle nope:( I went to Uoft:)
What courses did Ashley take on her first year?
Kimdly share with me your club on persons with intellectual disabilities and what you do. I think I am interested
Thanks
How is the quality of education at ubc? There’re lots of students, is it really competitive there? (eg. mark deflation, low gpa, etc.)
UBC is one of the best universities in Canada and in the world! It is a very large school, so yes, your classes will be very full. If you go to a reputable university, expect that it will be competitive and that the academics will challenge you.
Hey there! Will there also be a video on the UBC Okanagan campus? Thanks!
I don't think so, unfortunately. But the experience at both campuses are very similar. The main difference is that the Vancouver campus is larger.
UBC Okanagan is more of a cozy type of campus. Buildings are constantly being built every year, but everything is close to each other so it makes it super quick to get to different lectures located in different buildings :- )
Is UBC a religious school? I’m interested in applying for UBC, but I honestly haven’t found the answer to this question anywhere.. 😅
Nope its not
well i am coming to ubco.
I'm currently studying in an American high school, and i I am a Canadian citizen. My unweighted gpa for junior year is 4. 0 and my weighted gpa is 4.7, I have a overall gpa of 4.44, what are my chances of getting into UBC? (I'm doing early consideration btw) thankyou!
Because you're currently in the American education system, I would suggest you to take a look at this page: you.ubc.ca/applying-ubc/requirements/international-high-schools/#basic
Hey! Im in your same situation, and I just got accepted with an unweighted 3.89 GPA, but I had a variety of extracurriculars - music, volunteer, deca, colorguard, and a job. I am sure you will be fine!
@@oliviacunningham4551 congrats and thank you!!!
@@oliviacunningham4551hey Olivia!!! I got accepted too!!!🎉
@@hannawang9484 omg that’s awesome!!!!! Also, If you’re looking for a roommate, I am too... my insta is @/oliviaccunningham :)
I'm actually thinking about applying for UBC next year. How's it the course load like, obviously you wouldn't know for every program but on average?
I would expect a heavy course load. You're at a top university and the work will reflect that!
@@NathanWu I was thinking that it would a lot, but good to know what the course load is like. Thank you!!
Is a UBC a good school to get a job from? I plan on being an international student from the US, so being able to get a job after graduation would be needed for me to keep my visa.
Hello! I'm like you and I have the same question
Do you know any whatsapp/telegram group where people who are applying can talk with each other?
@@ikaru5089 Nope.
Does anyone know how much it would be to go to ubc overall??
Depends if you're paying domestic or international tuition
do you know if they offer full scholarships??
Full scholarships are very rare in Canada... I would recommend you to do your own research though
Hello can I ask if UBC has an athletics team and hockey team as well
YES THEY DO! Highly recommend getting involved :)
How much is the cost of doing bachelor in computer science in UBC for international student? Can u help me ?
Probably around 40k
how old do you need to be to go to ubc from high school?
Most students enter post-secondary studies at 18 years of age
Sorry to bother in somehow . I wanted to know how much is tuiton fees cost per year In UbC as an international student ?
Thanks waiting for further answer
It depends on which programm you're choosing
For specific information like that, I would recommend looking on the official UBC website.
Appreciate that thanks . I’ll search further on their website .
@@dramanediarra4574 if you have not looked up the tuition. It's anywhere from 30,000 to 50,000 canadian dollars. For international students.
@@kimchou4422 per year i believe
Does UBC and other Canadian unis take SATs or ACTs from the US?
Nope! We're lucky in that way
@@NathanWu oh :/ that doesn't help me tho lol bc my grades, specifically in math, aren't good enough for most prestigious schools like ubc so i thought my SATs could help me :(
but yeah u guys are lucky bc y'all do have to take tests like the SAT and stuff. thx for the reply btw
I’m from Florida and I was thinking about going to UBC, but that means moving very far from my home
Florida has the nicest weather thoo
@@NathanWu Ik that’s why it’s a really hard decision for me
Please review university of Calgary
I'm so sorry, but the series is over for now. I've been posting back to school and some personal life content though! Hope you're enjoying the new vids :)
Do they have basketball games
is UBC a good choice for computer science engineering??
UBC has a reputable engineering school
Considering UBC for a masters as an international student, should be interesting
UBC is a great place to do a Masters due to its strong international reputation and diverse student population!
@@NathanWu Yeah, just hope taking a year or 2 out of education doesn't hurt my chance. Got to get together £27K for all the costs
Can you take a tour on the campus if you’re not student at ubc?
I wouldn't see why not. Walking around the campus and going inside buildings should be fine as long as you're not disturbing any teaching or studying. It's important for you to get a feel for the school!
Is 9th grade in school considered high school ? And after 12th I wanna study in UBC in architecture so can you give me tips on improving my grades so I can do good on my 10th and 12th boards?
Yup, in Canada, high school is grades 9-12. UBC has a great architecture program. You def want to be studying hard, but also make sure you're developing your portfolio
hi hi :D fall 2021 incoming student here! ubc only looks at your 11&12 grades (or equivalent if ur an international student) so dont sweat too much abt 9th grade!
can anyone tell me how the pschology professors are like?
I’m a freshman in HS and I wanna go here so bad. Does anyone have any advice?
Keep your grades up and stay involved with your ECs!
@@NathanWu thank you so much 😄😄❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Does ubc has coop programme
I would like to know the bachelor in engineering programmes that are offered at british columbia university
Check out their website: engineering.ubc.ca/
@@NathanWu Thanks
@@NathanWu thanks
@@NathanWu Am in need of university which offers bachelor in mechanical engineering ,which is the best in Canada??
What is the requirement of UBC for an international student..SAT or Ielts?
Canada doesn't require SATs, but IELTS might be needed if you're from a non-english speaking country.
@@NathanWu Thanks 😊
Are there any international students here that can help me...I just need to ask some questions
If you scroll through the comments you should find some :)
So the description says a 4.0 GPA, is that absolutely neccessary, or do good results in GCE exams cover that up.
They are giving you the stats for the most competitive application. The higher the GPA and the better the GCE results are, the better chances you have in getting in. It may not be necessary, but it will give you a considerable advantage.
@@NathanWu oh ok thank you!
How is it now with covid? Could you please explain in video if possible!
I believe UBC will be in-person this Fall 2021
@@NathanWu okay thank you!
for early bird applicants, does ubc check your grade 11 grades mostly?
With any school, early acceptance relies heavily on your Grade 11 marks, so make sure you're working hard during that time. I got early acceptance programs at the University of Toronto and University of Waterloo, so it's definitely something to aim for.
Is ubc closed these days?
I think certain buildings are... I would check the UBC website for more accurate information though!
Do your grades in grade 9 and 10 matter?
The question I get asked 3884743 times... AHA! The answer is: no... BUT Gr9 and 10 is foundational for science, math, and English. If you slack off, you may have a very difficult time in the later years. Also, high school learning/testing is very different from elementary so use those early years to experiment study techniques & time management. I have a video on how to take notes & study if you're interested!
Are students marked based on a curve?
Possibly in some very difficult courses - and that happens at every school
ubc is my dream school but I'm not from canada :(
UBC has lots of international students. Don't let where you're from deter you from applying!
How much is the tuition for nursing?
Which university is best for mbbs Medical purpose
In Canada, the MD degree replaces the MBBS. UBC, UofT, and McGill all have very reputable medical schools.
What about fees for MD programs for international student
Yo, could you do University of Alberta?
2022
Exciting!
how difficult is it to switch to a major outside of your program?
Depends on the program. Keep in mind that you may not have the pre-reqs to change... so do your research! But if you are truly unhappy with your program, then I would suggest finding something that better suits you
Scholarship are available at UBC
Yessir
Hii sis can you send me ubc email id i want to do nursing in ubc ??
