  What average is required for admission?

  Historically, we have required an average in the low 80's. But every year is different! There are many factors to consider, such as course availability, number of seats, number of applicants and other factors. For a competitive average, we generally recommend hitting at least the high 80s to increase your chances of getting into UBC Computer Science. To ensure you’re at a good academic standing, develop good study habits, and learn to organize your time! Essentially, do your best.
