Who Gets In? The Truths & Myths of How Canadian Universities Make Admission Decisions

Presented by UBC’s Associate Registrar & Director, Student Recruitment and Undergraduate Admissions, Andrew Arida

Grade 11 and 12 grades, self-reporting, personal statements, short answer questions, extra-curricular activities, and applicant interviews; there is a great deal of information that can go into admission decisions. This begs a question: how do Canadian universities use all this information to determine who gets in?  This presentation will provide an overview of the rationales and decision-making process Canadian universities often use to make admission decisions. We will also dispel the myths and rumours that often surround the admission process; expect an interactive and lively discussion!
