    Just to make sure for the transfer process. If I take Langara College on September 2022 for 2 years program then continue to UBC for the next 2 years, is it possible to enter UBC on September 2024? With 2+2 program, is it still possible to do job internship? Lastly, if you can achive GPA over 3.5 in Langara then it should be "safe" for transfer to UBC? Many thanks 🙂

    Hi, I was wondering when you applied for UBC did you put anything down for your second program choice? Or did you only put arts as your first choice? I'm trying to apply for 2nd year and I'm not sure if I should be adding a second program choice because most of the offered programs are science, music, sauder, or fine arts. I feel like by adding a second program choice it'll up my chances of getting in, but at the same time I don't want to actually go into any of those programs, I only want to get into the Arts program.
    June Edit: I got in!

    • @sofiewong
      @sofiewong  2 роки тому

      I dont fully recall. If theres an option to only put one choice I probably did that.. but if you have to choose two- I think that I would have just put Arts and fine arts as my second because I knew I didn't mee the requirements to apply for another faculty.

    Thank you for sharing! Do you recommend people transferring at Yr 2 or yr 3? Any differences between them? Best.

    • @sofiewong
      @sofiewong  Рік тому +1

      I would say year 2 is the most common! There's not a huge difference but if you transfer into year 3 at UBC, most people are in their last years of their degree and are in upper level classes. If you transfer at year 2 you have more time to meet people and take classes/electives outside your degree.

However, on the bc transfer guide website when I entered the course from my school it says “Exempt CPSC 121,” does this mean that I don’t have to take CPSC 121 at UBC and it will meet the degree requirement due to the fact that I’d be exempt from it?

      On the BC transfer guide website it states for excemption : "waiving of a prerequisite or required course for students who have proven they have comparable learning. The student may be required to replace the exempted course with an alternate."

    • @sofiewong
      @sofiewong  2 роки тому

      I would say it depends if you plan to do grad school. On one hand if you are trying to get into UBC and solely do you undergrad. Then I would suggest doing the easier GPA boosters at Langara to ensure admissions since that is your end goal. However, if you plan to apply to grad school/ masters or any program past your undergrad that is competitive, then having those gpa boosters in UBC might be beneficial. It may be different for each program but some grad school programs only look at your last 60 credits. So if you left all your harder classes to the end your grades may suffer. Another thing to note is some grad programs also only consider your grades in programs within your faculty (ie. not electives) So it just depends on your end goal!

    Thankyou for explaining the whole process with so much of clarity.
    I had few queries.
    1. For how long after completing by Associates Degree, my credits are valid for transfer.
    Since I'm planning to work, and get a PR amd after that transfer my credits to UBC.
    2. If I start from Jan intake for a 2 year program at Langara. Can I transfer all of my credits (transferable Credits).
    Or there might be an issue since I'm starting from Jan intake.

    • @sofiewong
      @sofiewong  3 роки тому

      Hi! Thanks so much for watching. You can transfer all your credits from the January intake as long as they translate into a full year into UBC. So if you are doing two years starting in the January intake at Langara you would need to complete the two years and apply for the following September intake. For example, if you started in January 2021 and finished your 2-year program in January 2022, you would be fine to apply for September 2022 into your third year at UBC. In my case, I did 1 full year plus one more semester so that is why when I transferred into second year I lost a semester of credits.

      I can't speak for SFU necessarily. However, I preferred the campus environment of UBC over SFU. I think it really depends on the program you are transferring into as well as what you are hoping to get out of your time during post-secondary. I think that UBC really provides a great campus lifestyle and an abundance of resources for their students and it's just a beautiful place to spend your time as well!
