I applied for UBC's applied biology under the faculty of land and food systems. Does anyone know their averages per say? I'm freaking out over my physics mark at the moment...My marks are currently:

Biology 12: 98%
English 12: 95%
Chemistry 12: 88%
Calculus 12: 90%-ish
Physics 12: ...73%
Physics 11: 90%

Gr.12 Course completed (last year): Math 12: 94%

I'm taking both physics courses right now -I didn't take Physics 11 last year because I didn't think I would be required to have them. My last physics 12 unit test really screwed me over because I was so swamped with my chemistry and calculus exams. All of my other marks are fine except for Physics 12, and I'm really worried that they'll look at all my marks from the transcripts in May. Does anyone know the admission averages for this Faculty, and whether or not they will even look at my entire transcript, or just the top 4?

Keep calm and carry on.
You will get in.
They only look at your Top 4.

Thanks for the reply! They look at your top 4 only even in May? Has it always been like this every year? Ever since they implicated the 1st and 2nd round for admissions this year, they said that they were looking at your grade 12 marks sent from the Ministry and they didn't specify whether it was top 4 or all the grade 12 courses we were taking. I'm such a worrier, I can't help but feel nervous about this as I haven't heard from anyone who's been in F of Land and Food Systems.

LFS is a very small faculty, that's why. And yes, it's been the Top 4 marks every year, nothing new.
I'm not sure how first round works with your grade 11 marks, I assume it's all your grade 11 marks, but round 2 should still only be your Top 4.

Ah, okay I see, thank you! With my top four marks (98%, 95%, 94% & 88%), is it safe to say that they're sufficient for this faculty?
