How are graduate students evaluated? (for next admission cycle)


Recommended Posts

First off, congratulations to everyone who received an interview this year!! If you didn't, don't give up!!

I'm wondering if graduate students could speak on how their GPA was calculated or how their file was evaluated? They haven't identified this on their website, so I'm wondering if it's the same as undergraduate courses (120 credits) but they factor in your graduate courses & thesis in place of perhaps 30 credits?

This is on the website in the FAQ — check out the gpa calculation section. They will include any graduate courses with a grade in your overall GPA calculation. They don’t treat the courses any differently from undergraduate courses. 

UBC will drop your one worst year from the calculation to a maximum of 30 credits. You need to have at least 90 credits I believe to be eligible for the adjustment. But again, it’s  the same regardless of whether you’re a graduate or undergraduate student.

That's what I figured but I couldn't (and still can't) find the paragraph saying that specifically about graduate courses. Thank you for your help!
