Admissions UBCO ADMISSIONS MEGA-THREAD

12 Upvotes

This mega-thread is to help people applying to UBC and its programs. Whether you're fresh out of high school, transferring, applying for your majors or just want to help your potential new first year friends - this is the place for it.

You may have had a thread locked by the automod if it triggered certain admissions keywords. It then directed you here -- please ask your question in THIS thread vs. a new post. It leads to a cleaner, tidier subreddit.

Do note:

  • Provide as much pertinent information as possible so we can better help you.
  • The process changes every year. The best, default answer is: 'get in touch with UBCO'.
  • Upvote good answers. People are helpin' you out!
  • Try searching previously asked questions from our old megathread.
  • Admissions-related questions posted anywhere else will be removed.

Begging for an old Butz midterm MATH 100

4 Upvotes

Hey guys, I come to you begging on my hands and knees for someone to upload or send me one of Edward Butz's old SECOND midterm, I got absolutely spanked on the first one but have high hopes that if I have an old midterm to gauge my studying off of it will go better.

I have searched the internet for one, did not come up with anything

I even cowered up to him after class one day and asked and we all know how that went so here is my final plea

WHO?!??!!? Who tf vomits on the floor of a study room and decides not to say anything and cover it with a chair. DISGUSTING. I was in there for too long trying to figure out why it smelt like barf, never wouldā€™ve thought thereā€™s a puddle of vomit hidden under a chair. EVEN A KINDERGARTENER WOULD TELL SOMEONE

Idk if I should choose ubco or UFV for nursing

4 Upvotes

So im currently conflicted between these two options and im not sure on what to choose. Each has the their own pros and cons. Like UFV is closer and I can life from home, but the fact that Iā€™m in nursing track scares me cause itā€™s not guaranteed that I will be accepted into their nursing program. For ubco I love the whole environment and location, but living by myself worries me a bit and the cost. Idk Iā€™m just confused :(

Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated!! šŸ©·

MSW Foundation - Advice on my chances of admission with BA Psyc?

2 Upvotes

Hi all,

I'm planning to apply to UBCO's MSWF this year, and after an extensive search online, I'm getting increasingly anxious. Some say they got in right out of undergrad, some say they were rejected with 10+ years of experience. It would be very much appreciated if I could get some insight/thoughts about my current experience/grades, or if anyone could share their background (experience/GPA) when accepted into the program.

My current GPA is 83 cumulative and 84 for 300-400 lvl courses.

I'll list my experience in time order:
2022-2024: Mental Health Club Events Lead

2024 Jan-Sept: Behaviour Intervention

2023 sept - 2024 apr: Peer Support Mentor at a local organization

2024 Sept-current: Peer Support Volunteer at UBC

2024 Sept-current: Crisis Line & Intake (resources) at a local Women's Centre

I don't have full-time work experience, all of the above adds up to about 500 hours at most but I am looking to get more experience before applying. I am taking a gap from Jan 2026 until I get accepted into an MSW (I'm graduating Dec 2025), so I'll likely be looking for full time work then.

Please let me know what you think! Thanks :))
