UBC undergraduate admissions require Chinese students to have high high school grades, generally ranking in the top 10%-20% of their class with an average score of 85 or higher. Popular majors such as business, engineering, and computer science typically require a score of 90 or higher.
Graduate applicants generally need an undergraduate GPA of 3.3/4.0 or higher. The university will comprehensively evaluate applicants based on their province and curriculum, and recommends providing class ranking and detailed transcripts for fair review.
Language Test Scores (TOEFL/IELTS) and Other Standardized Tests
Language scores are an important indicator for UBC admissions. IELTS requires an overall score of 6.5 with no individual section score below 6.0; TOEFL requires a minimum overall score of 90, with no section score below 22.

If these requirements are not met, applicants can apply for the UBC Vantage One Program. In addition, some majors require SAT, ACT, or GRE scores. It is recommended to plan test dates in advance and allow multiple test attempts to achieve the desired score.
