Ubc admission requirements

Hi everyone, I really want to apply to UBC for next year as I’m taking a gap year. I want to apply for the commerce course however I did not take maths a level. However I got an 7 (A) in GCSE (considering I was the first year to take the new hard ones). I took business, English lit and psychology at a levels and got A* psychology, A business and B in English. How important is the A level maths and do you think I can apply without it? Thanks

I’m not an expert but I could tell you what I think. Commerce is getting really competitive at UBC ( if you are applying to sauder), I would def think that they would at least require AS math if you’re doing IAL. Do email them though and ask the admissions office.

Thanks! What’s IAL?

Hi, I go to UBC Vancouver and I did A-levels. Feel free to message me if you have any questions about UBC.

As for your question, I think your AS level grades would matter more than you GCSEs. So if your AS level grades are better, you might have a solid chance of getting in. Your A level predictions should be strong as well. And as the other reply says, your personal profile matters almost as much as your grades! Try to show them how well-rounded you are. Good luck

International Advanced Level,, ( outside the UK ). Go on UBC’s website and view their entry requirements for your course

Hey OMG354,

I'm doing the IALs actually. Now there's a thing: I didn't do GCSE levels (O levels). I belonged to my country's national curriculum back in 10th grade. My marks aren't bad though. UBC says they require chem, physics, bio etc at GCSE level. The public exam I sat in my nat curriculum is equivalent to the British O levels, and I did those courses. Can I still apply?

Since they are equivalent to GCSEs I’d definitely apply. Check out other Canadian unis like McGill and UofT

Hey, Inkfigment, I'm new around here, could you help me out a bit?

I really want to apply to UBC in january 2021. Want to study either math or chemistry (i.e. bachelor of science degree)

I'm taking A levels this november: Math, Physics & Chemistry. I was wondering, is 3 A levels enough? I was thinking of doing further maths too, but that'll probably put some stress. I have science fair and math olympiad experience, so Math and Chem are kinda okay for me. I'm confident I'll get A* in math and A in chem. But I'm worried 'bout physics.

Do I stand a chance at UBC (any campus) with A*AA in math, physics, chem? And is it worth taking further maths?

Hey bro, I' m curious did you get accepted cause im in exactly the same situation as you were same grades but applied for bsc in comp sci, so did u get accepted or any response? If so pls give some tips on increasing my chances of getting accepted

When you finish sixth form do you have to go university in the Uk if you wanna study at UBC?
