Graduation from a university-preparatory program at a senior secondary school: 

• Upper Middle School Report of Grades.
• Huikao or Academic proficiency test results provided by China Qualifications Verification (CQV).
• Gaokao examinations results provided by CQV. UBC expects students to achieve  a minimum provincial Tier 1 university cut-off score.
• If you are not writing the Gaokao, you must submit one or more of the following standardized examination results: SAT, ACT, or three or more Advanced Placement exam results in three or more distinct subjects. Competitive results must be achieved in these examinations.

Admission average calculated on final year academic courses/exams:

• Grades required for admission will vary by program, but based on the China grading scale, the minimum average needed to fall within the competitive range is approximately 84% (where the minimum pass grade is 60%).

DEGREE-SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS (China)

下面为个人简述的基本要求:Tell us about yourself

The Personal Profile gives you the opportunity to tell UBC about the things that are important to you, your significant achievements, what you’ve learned from your experiences, and the challenges that you’ve overcome.

This information – along with your academic achievements – will be used to determine your admissibility to UBC and your eligibility for entrance scholarships and awards.

There is no separate application for entrance scholarships and awards so the Personal Profile is the only opportunity for you to tell UBC about yourself.

Preparing for the Personal Profile

• Because each of the questions in the Personal Profile requires short essay answers (anywhere from 50 to 200 words), you’ll want to brainstorm some ideas before you start your online application.
• Don’t just provide a list of accomplishments without taking the time to reflect on what you have learned from them, and what you want to continue learning at UBC.
• When writing your responses, be specific. Use details to substantiate and elaborate on your answers.
• Focus on what you want to say and be true to who you are. Don’t provide the answers you think UBC wants to hear. We are interested in your unique voice.

Questions to ask yourself before you begin writing

The following questions can help you reflect on your experiences and accomplishments, and may help you shape your Personal Profile answers.

• What are the qualities you think make for a successful university student? How have you demonstrated such qualities in the past?
• Think about your first-choice UBC degree. What kinds of activities, accomplishments, and insights – learned in or outside of the classroom – do you think would be relevant to this degree?
• Think about your accomplishments and activities. What have you learned from these experiences? When have you taken on a leadership role? What do you excel in at school or outside of school? What do you enjoy learning in school? Or what do you enjoy doing outside of school that has influenced what you want to learn?
• Think about the role others have played in your accomplishments and experiences.
• Think about how your favourite teacher would describe you. Why would your teacher describe you this way? Be specific. Try to incorporate this information into your responses.
• Think about two or three adjectives that best describe you. For each, provide some evidence of why they describe. Be specific. Try to incorporate this information into your responses.
