smilee Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 I've been trying to find out some information on the UBC website about the personal essay that is a part of the application. I don't know if I am just missing something or if I am mistaken in assuming that UBC requires a personal essay. Also, does anyone know offhand if there any other (Canadian) schools that require personal essays as part of the application? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mare Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 McGill requires an autobiographical letter, up to three pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllSmiles Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 So does UBC, also you must send a resume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill E Rubin Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Yeah, UBC asked for two essays. One was about extra-curricular activities, and the other was basically "why dentistry". There were 400 and 500 words if I can remember. I was never asked for a resume, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sloken Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 from the UBC app: What have you done outside of classes and studies? Have you participated in extra-curricular activities? Have you any special interests and hobbies? You answer should provide a brief resume of your employment history, volunteer work and extra-curricular activities. (maximum 400 words) Type in the space provided an essay outlining the reasons you wish to become a dentist, how you first developed this interest and if there is a particular reason you wish to study dentistry at The University of British Columbia. (maximum 500 words) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllSmiles Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Yup, for the first question I basically copied and pasted my academic resume with a few changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
