Extra Info About UBC
UBC has a comprehensive approach to admissions - it is not ALL about your marks. Check the first link below to see what they look at, and the second one to watch a pre-recorded admissions info presentation. Note: As of 2022, UBC requires a "proficient" on the grade 12 Literacy Assessment by the end of the grade 12 year! At this point, the Numeracy exam is not taken into account as it is a grade 10 exam.

Extra Info About SFU
For applicants to the Fall (September) 2022 term, SFU will not consider the results of the Grade 12 Literacy Assessment in the admission evaluation process. Applicants to SFU will be evaluated only on their approved grade 11 and approved grade 12 coursework.* SFU has very specific course requirements by program. Check out the faculty you are interested in to see what courses they will look at. |
