Why the waitlist

Congratulations to the Class of 2024 on the offers of admission that are coming to each of you. The hard work you have applied to your studies and the effort you have put into your applications has paid off.

While many students receive a clear offer of admission, there are some who remain in a state of limbo and are offered a spot on the waitlist. To understand more about how the waitlist works and what you should be doing, please click on the brief here.  

Year 12 | Update Naviance 

All Year 12 students have been instructed to update their Naviance account indicating all of the universities they are applying to and the outcome of your applications (acceptance, conditional acceptance, deferred, waitlisted, denied). When you have submitted an application, please use the edit function (pencil icon) in Naviance to mark it as “submitted” and include the faculty or program to which you have applied.

For our office to best support students, it's important that we know decision outcomes, especially now that offers from the most selective Canadian university programs will begin to roll out.

UBC | How to keep your offer of admission

Offers of admission are conditional. You must complete your offer of admission requirements and send your final grades by the given deadline.

Through July and August, we review these to ensure you:

• complete your high school diploma*

• complete the degree-specific course requirements

• maintain the level of academic standing upon which your offer was made

Changes to applicants’ level of academic standing are reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

Grade changes, that if presented on final grades, may cause UBC to re-evaluate your application for admission

Canada

• Your final average on all academic courses that you have taken in Grade 11 and Grade 12 has fallen by 2% or more.

• Your final average in Grade 11 and Grade 12 courses in subjects related to your chosen degree has fallen by 4% or more.

• For Vancouver campus only: Your final grades in Grade 12 English and Grade 11 English are below 70%. If final grades fall below this minimum requirement, the offer of admission will be revoked.

• For Vancouver campus only: For competitive degrees with course requirements for Grade 12 English or Math (Pre-Calculus 12 for BC students), we will re-evaluate your offer of admission if your final grades have fallen below 80%.

IB Diploma

• Your final IB Diploma score has fallen by 4 points or more.

• Your IB scores have fallen 3 points or more on any given course.

• You score 2 or lower in any given IB subject.

• Your final IB scores in Math or English have fallen below 4.

• You have not completed the IB diploma.

Maintaining offer of admission requirements

To maintain your offer of admission at UBC, you must complete your high school diploma, fulfill degree-specific course requirements, and sustain the academic standing on which your offer was based. Changes to your academic standing are reviewed individually. 

Impact of grade changes on admission

Grade changes can lead to UBC re-evaluating your application for admission, particularly if there's a significant drop in your final average or grades in subjects related to your chosen degree. For Vancouver campus, there are specific grade threshold requirements for English and math courses that, if not met, may result in the revocation or re-evaluation of your offer of admission.

Admission re-evaluation criteria for Canada and IB Diploma

For Canadian applicants, specific criteria are set for final average and grades in English and math courses that, if not met, may lead to the revocation or re-evaluation of an admission offer. Similarly, for IB Diploma applicants, falling scores or failure to complete the diploma can result in the re-evaluation or withdrawal of the admission offer.
