Hey, I am currently going to be attending the U of C for the first time this fall as I am enrolled in Biological Sciences. However, I never really wanted to limit myself to Calgary as I have wanted to go away for post-secondary to one of the best universities in North America (especially Canada). Due to running out of time to apply and some finanical obstacles I had to register into U of C. For the record, I am pretty excited for Calgary and think it is a really good university.
Even though university hasn't started up yet, I have started researching some of the best universities in Canada for Science and UBC is supposedly the second best in Canada (behind U of T).
The question that I have is if anyone has gone through a transferring process before and how it works. It is my first year at U of C (I am not even 18 yet lol) so I know very little on how this works. As of now, I am sold on this university and just wan't some advice on how about I should go with this and if someone knows what type of marks would I need? Also, is there a difference between UBC Okanagon and UBC Vancouver and is one easier to get in than the other?
I am also not sure if I should ask the U of C counsellors as they will probably try to convince me to stay in Calgary (they need to make money
) Has anyone on this board gone through a process of transferring through post-secondaries and can help me on how I should go about this? The reason why I am asking at this time is because when the time comes, I really don't want to miss out on the opportunity because I missed a small course or something that was a necessity.
Thanks for the help in advance!
PS: I am ready to enjoy U of C aswell as I have already joined in a couple of clubs and am really looking to get involved and have fun.
