Btw, since you're still in high school, I would say try your best to get high marks.... I think many people would agree that getting a decent (not even high) mark in university is much harder than getting 90%+ in HS. I would say it is easier to get accepted to ubc/sfu directly from HS than it is to transfer.

No idea dude, check last year's info. I would assume 94%+ is rather safe. A bit of volunteering here and there isn't hard to get.

Posted via RS Mobile | iirc, minimum means nothing. I remember in 07/08 UBC's minimum was 84 for Sauder but almost everyone I knew who got accepted were 92+ or had lots of extra curriculars and <90

Op, seriously, you're still in HS, so stop worrying about everything in post-secondary right now. just focus on doing well in HS and leave your options open, whether you attend kwantlen or sfu, or whether you want to do account or other discipline.

Guys we have a fucking keener here. Only in hs but already map out his big 4 future. You know the same shits as how every fucking kid wants to be an investment banker. I hope you keep your dreams up and dont let the big dick of truth slap you in the face. 60 volunteer hours and 500 work hours. Lol... nobody gives a shit.
My advice for you, Einstein: keep study hard, get involved and keep your mouth shut. You can forget about your big 4 if you cant even muster 90% in high school.

Posted via RS Mobile | Actually, if I wasn't as stupid in high school and actually spent time figuring out what career path I wanted, I would have done much better in university. Given that, Nikko has a point in that if you can't even get 90% in HS (more likely 95%), it will be hard to meet the minimum GPA threshold for the big4.
Try to get some community involvement as well. Every other kid has some martial arts thing going on. You want to stand out as a candidate. Start a club, join student council, volunteer for big name events or NPO's. To give you an idea... my friend's brother
(gr 11) volunteered throughout the summer with the Vancouver Board of Trade and attended a few conferences they hosted.

Posted via RS Mobile | No idea. It boils down to how you present yourself and whether they find it legitimate. I've been out of HS for quite some time now, but I'm sure many of your peers are involved in some kind of student club. You really have to be outstanding if your marks are only mediocre!

Im actually getting 95% and im taking Geography 12 online now and im getting 96% and then 85% math and 78% is what ill probably get in English. Good chance of getting into Beedie?

u should be fine. I got in with an 86 avg.
I was part of the school bdmt team for 4 years and I coached for 2years.
Joined a few clubs like key club, red cross and some other club.
My essays was just basically talking about the hardships I overcame playing bdmt.
(going thru injuries, losing in the finals , etc )
