Please feel free to ask me ANYTHING in the comment section and I'll try to answer it either here or in a future video! Like anything even if your question is ridiculous
@GachaWolf I actually might cover this in a future video because a few people have asked me! I'd say that choosing a university can boil down to three things: financials, program, and school culture. How expensive a school is and what programs the university excel in can be found online. School culture, however, isn't easy to research and it helps to ask people who've attended that school to attest to something like culture.
@@1yyujin Adjusting was a bit of a challenge, but it's important not to give up at this stage because it's literally just an adjustment period and that's never easy. As time went on, it got a lot easier and a lot more fun. I've made so many amazing memories and met so many cool people. I really loved it; it was actually heartbreaking having to leave early due to COVID... Remember to go easy on yourself! Be patient with your journey! As long as you put yourself out there and get your work done, things should work out :) I wish you the best of luck! First year will be something you'll never forget
I'm packing for jumpstart right now (prepping myself for a week of aggressive small talk) and this was one of the only real advice vids I've seen. THANK YOU!
UBC is my dream school and I hope I get in this fall. Your tips were really good and not just the “go to class” so thanks (update for everyone I was rejected from the UBC Science Program and am now a student at the University of Washington)
Hey Matty! Do you have an idea about the ACTUAL (not the one on the website) fees of Computer Science? They’re a little too high for me so I was wondering about that. Also, any idea about the scholarships available for international students?
Ayy we have the same Ikea chair! Anyways, I want to get into Engineering Physics or Computer Engineering. What do you think would be a safe average and what kind of extracurriculars do you think I may need (ex; how many clubs? what kind of clubs? any competitions? Should I write self-learned stuff like Web development or Arduino?). Thank you
Ikea chairs unite lmfao. Just a warning, I'm a business student so my experience will be different from STEM programs (Probably more weight towards extracurricular than academics) I was also admitted a few years ago so things might've changed since then. For reference, competitive averages for business were around 90%+ (IB at the time was apparently 34+). For involvement, I think it's more important to have major roles in 1 or 2 clubs as opposed to having minor roles in 3+. As long as you can demonstrate your impact quantitatively, it matters less about the type of club but STEM related ones are nice. Mentioning your self-learned stuff is good too but try to find ways to demonstrate (projects, extracurriculars, etc.) it so they dont have to take your word for it. If you can get into like hackathons, I assume that helps cuz employers love that shit lol. I hope this answers some of your questions!
@@mattycxd Hey Matt. I was looking at BUCS recently (Business and Computer Science) and heard that it is direct-entry after being accepted into Sauder from high school. Is this true? If so, what kind of admissions process does Sauder go through? Is there an essay question(s)? Do you get to list your extracurriculars? Do they like particular Extracurriculars such as DECA? Can I write that I am a self-taught programmer? Thank you!
@@ammarsiddiqui4731 It is direct-entry, you are correct! From my time, there's a few essay questions and I believe there's a place to write down your extracurriculars. DECA would be definitely valuable but really anything where you had a direct impact and can speak to it. Bonus points for leadership roles. If you're a self taught programmer, try to list a project that you've undertaken to add to the validity of it. I believe there's also a portion where you have to video tape yourself answering a few questions. Given the things you're talking about, I honestly think you'll have a good shot!
Sooo, I wish to study astronomy at UBC. I am from India and am having a lost of confusion with the moving in, club activities, and the other stuff. I will be applying for September and wanted to know any downfalls if any of the university, as I could not find any. P.S. thanks for the video
Note taken thankss , umm so I'm an international student and want to apply and I want to study computer science for a bachelor in science but also I want to study music too but I don't want to double major , can I take it as a minor or is it not possible for someone who is majoring in science. It would really help if you could give me an advice about it , thanks.
How do you get in first of all, I have one year of hs left since I took a year off for a Rotary Youth Exchange in Taiwan and I want to apply for the Dietetics program at ubc. My grades average 90+ (though I could probably work them a few points higher for my final year). Do I need to stand out in some way? What did your application look like? I know the acceptance rate is around 60% but is there anything I can do to supplement my application?
Id say competitive averages start at around 90+ for commerce but I know people who've gotten in with less than that. It depends on the program you're applying to. Involvment in clubs, organizations, teams, and jobs/volunteering go a long way for your supplemental. I'd say there's a heavier weight on that depending on what program you're applying to as well (business values a good supplemental for example). Seeing as you did rotary youth exchange, that'll look good on an application imo
@@mattycxd seriously? because i have read that ubc is not a party school by a long shot. im not into partying at all, but I would like to experience it once in a while. love ur channel btw!
@@melaniealvarez112 it might not be comparable to some American schools, but every weekend there are parties (especially earlier in the year). For first years, it's mostly the frats or dorm parties. When you turn 19, Koerners and the Pit (on campus bars) or clubbing off-campus are popular options. Some faculties host events too. For instance, Sauder hosts POITS (Piss on it tomorrows Saturday) every other Friday which is a beer garden in the middle of the faculty building.
@@mattycxd thank you sm! and also are the classes as difficult as u of t? Is it depending on the major? But do you think that ubc is as HARD as u of t?

LMAO "IB is so much harder than university"
Hey this was hilarious. I just got into UBC sciences and I rlly needed to here tip number 5!!! Awesome stuff.
Ah. I’ve been stressing about university for a very long time but this...this calmed me down.
"Dont study at IKB" is so on-point. And dont even get me STARTED on "studying" in the LIFE building..
i love this too much and im laughing too much and now im panicking about leaving my city and starting fresh at UBC and im gonna die
YOU GOT THIS DESTINY DUDETTE
@@mattycxd THANKS MATTY CHIEU

I'm happy I could help! I hear AMAZING things about Jump Start every year so I'm confident you're going to have a very memorable time.
Are you headed to UBC this fall?
This has been one of the best uni videos i have watched. Killed it man, great tips!
Thanks for the support! Means a lot

Ah, you waiting until July 15th to hear back to?
DragonChildren18 Nyx nope I’m applying in September.
@@silverdove9911 Same!
esp the last tip! will keep in mind
Can u do tips on course scheduling, first yr tips application process etccc please ?

wow!! thanks for the tips; i'm so nervous to start 1st year at ubc!!!!!!!!
F u
nigahiga
Fleekin those new glasses 👌🏼

@@mattycxd still think you couldve made that a part of your persona
@@imxrmxr I appreciate your confidence LMAO
Dude you are talented in making youtube videos.
This was such a resourceful, but also funny as fuck video !! Thank youuu :)

@@ammarsiddiqui4731 I only applied to UBC and McGill but went to UBC cuz I live in Vancouver

A comparison uw vs ubc vs UofT and is it really worth the amount.
what's the social environment there like, parties, friends, toxicity and all that also is everyone there a sweat at school or are they chill

this was a great fucking video
Note taken thankss , umm so I'm an international student and want to apply and I want to study computer science for a bachelor in science but also I want to study music too but I don't want to double major , can I take it as a minor or is it not possible for someone who is majoring in science. It would really help if you could give me an advice about it , thanks.
funny and ganda ng editing ng wacky face.
This guy is hilarious
Dude you’re funny
Is the teacher staff chill?
Depends! ratemyprof.com is really good for finding out which profs are cool
