vicpremed Posted July 28, 2018 Report Share Posted July 28, 2018 Hi guys, I'm new to this forum and the UBC application process and could really use some advice. I'm trying to work on the non-academic section of the application and can't figure out how to differentiate activities that show my Capacity to Work with Others versus other activities I've participated in. Does anyone have any examples of what I should be including in this section? Am I able to include the same activity in different sections? Thanks!

BoardManGetsPaid Posted July 28, 2018 Report Share Posted July 28, 2018 Do you have any activities where you worked with individuals apart from your peers? Like people from different cultures, age groups, socioeconomic backgrounds, etc? Those activities are great for Capacity to Work with Others And you’re not allowed to put the same activity twice. best of luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicpremed Posted July 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2018 Thanks for the reply! Yes, I have lots of experience working with people with different backgrounds and age groups, however, most of that experience comes from paid work and I didn't think that you could post any employment activities in the non-academic section. Is that true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellow daisy Posted July 28, 2018 Report Share Posted July 28, 2018 Yes paid work should be under employment section, non-paid work is in the NAQ section Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InstantRamen Posted July 28, 2018 Report Share Posted July 28, 2018 Sometimes I found that the activities I participated in could fit multiple sections. When this happened, I strategically placed them in sections that maximized my ability to have the most entries. My GPA was >90%, for context, so I may have very well shit the bed in the NAQ and not actually know what I'm talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
