I know UBC lowered the english mark to 75%(final mark) to be exempt from taking LPI this year; anybody know if SFU is still up at 80% or if it's lowered as well?

just a question from a college student. Is it possible to just redo grade 12 courses via adult ed so i can transfer into arts rather than going through 1-2 years of college to transfer into arts? I plan to take bio chem.. so arts > science
will universities care if they see my marks from college and not take my high grade 12 marks?

^ depends on how many credits you have, and which university you are going to. UBC and SFU has different limits on the amount of college credits you have.

i think the limit for ubc is like 3 courses (which should be 9 credits) or maybe it was 12. my friend stopped taking langara courses after 9 credits because he wants to use his high school grades to apply to ubc. they consider you officially a post secondary student after that--which disqualifies you from applying with grade 12 grades

For those who have applied to UBC, just out of curiosity what are your averages? I have a 84% avg, and I want to get into Arts..

^ Make sure you submit your broad based admissions. 84 isn't really there yet.

Also called "Supplemental Applications". It's in SSC, under Admissions. You put in your School Service, School Activity, Community Service, Community Activity, and Employment.

I put in 3 activities, the only thing is I have no clue if the activities I wrote are strong or not. =.=

The personal profile is basically the supplemental part of the application. I applied for engineering with 89.5%-91% average; way better than my 1st term. My average for term one was 87.5% (the mark I submitted for SFU), but will update once my second term marks are confirmed.
Since admittance is based on 2nd term grades, you still have roughly three weeks to boost that 84% to at least an A average.
Good luck!

I got a question, whats a "Letter of Professional reference"?
Do I need to get it from a prof or something? I was never really close to any of my profs to ask them for one.
I need two of those for my application.  | |

There are different types of reference letters: letter of professional reference and letter of academic reference. Professional is usually job related, such as from a manager who you worked for recently. Academic is just that - a prof.

hmmm what if i failed one course... (fucking stats LOL) and i am going to have 10 credits by the end of this semester. (4 because of science). I am thinking about taking adult ed and just take grade 12 courses for SFU, will my failed stats course overshadow my application?

Yes I did, although the email did not state whether I got accepted into my first or second choice. I'm not too concerned though, because "early admittance" is only conditional.
Edit: sorry my average is actually 88.5%, not 87.5%. The cutoff average for engineering is 88, so I was confused why I still got the conditional offer.

I've heard through the grapevine that some of the college transfer students that are considered to be "New" and not "Re-Admissions" have been receiving acceptance letters to Sauder.
I applied as a re-admission to Science to which mine says they received my interim transcript and they have everything they need until the final transcript arrives.

On the SSC it doesn't say that they've received my interim transcript from Langara yet.
The deadline was today; does it take a while to update the status?

I don't think it matters on when they received it, as long as it is post dated before the deadline

So I pretty much sealed myself an entrance scholarship (at least 91% average)! Problem is, I don't know if I need to maintain my average of above 91% until final because I have doubts about my ability to do so. Does anyone know how it works? SFU btw.
Thanks
