UBC Chinese Heritage VS non heritage
 
So i went in for a placement interview to see what chinese course I will be put into, they put me in heritage just because I am chinese? I am a cbc, cant read or write a word of chinese, I dont speak mandarin at all and I can only understand the basics of all basics. Anyways I am just wondering what the difference in difficulty is between beginner chinese heritage vs non heritage? The student who was interviewed beside was speaking fluent mandarin to the interviewer beside me and got put in the same class as me wtf?

Don't they conduct tests to see if you can read?

I was actually surprised when I went in cause I thought they would or atleast dig deeper. Before we went into the interview we had to fill out a short questionare asking basic questions like, are you parents chinese, do u speak chinese, how long are u in canada for etc?...the interview was 5 min and he basically read over my questionaire and put me in heritage because my parents are chinese lol....guess im effed for this course
