Yeah I applied as well. What kind of EC's and averages does everyone have?
Do you think they will hand out more MES this year cause they dropped their presidents scholarship?

I heard that they will be giving out more MES's this year, it says so on the website too but it would have been nice to get that 5k (or whatever the PES amount was).
When does UBC start giving out offers? Does anyone know?

"All applicants will be notified of their status by April 30, 2012."
^That's what it says on the website, so I assume they'll be doing it gradually throughout April.

I also applied; best of luck everyone!

Haha same here! I got 3 pieces of mail from them yesterday and got over-excited when none of them were related to the MES!

Anyone going to the UBC Welcomes You events? I hear they're awesome!

I think UBC is unlike most universities in that their acceptances are quite scattered, as opposed to done in chunks, so I don't think you have much to worry about maex, as long as your average is in the eighties!

Also Hdefinition, I read that they're handing out 80, which is quite a bit, and that they have increased that number from last year's total.

my average is a 92.4 right now, but I heard the Bcom program at UBC is quite competitive from this forum! How long after submitting your documents did you have to wait to be accepted?

Congrats! Yeah I would like to know as well what kind of EC's you had. I had a strong avg and references but absolutely no leadership positions, so that probably puts out of the competition -_-

Does anyone know if you get a UBC scholarship, will it automatically be sent to pay for your tuition.. because I also have other scholarships that need to be used to pay for first year tuition only, anything else I will lose those scholarships. If the UBC scholarships does automatically pay for your tuition, is there a way to prevent that or is that not allowed?

Thank yous
