If you can't hack MRC, then what makes you think you can do a real university?

I don't think you are allowed to not inform them of you going to MRC. I think if you lie or "forget" to tell them you can be expelled due to academic dishonesty.

Best to call them and ask though.

No you can't just not tell them, well you can, but if they find out you are gone for good. And that goes for all Universities Im pretty sure.

Stuck with your grades...there's no way your gonna "hide" the MRC grades if it's already on your transcript under your name.

Nope, they hold you to what you have done.

Why would they let someone start over when they have thousands of applicants with better grades from college and high school applying?

Good luck with applying to UBC, I'm registered at UBC right now as a visiting student for an international internship and if you actually do apply to them and get in, prepare yourself for the most bureaucratic crap ever. The administration (regarding finances in any case) seems horribly incompetent from all the mistakes I've had to deal with. Nice campus though, even though I only spent like a week living at a rez building, haha.

But I think that yeah, you have to give them the full listing of your academic history; the application itself should say it's mandatory to fill out your entire history I think.

UBC is tough to get into it. Let alone if your grades were only good enough to get you into MRC. And you'll have a hard time getting them to ignore poor performance in MRC. UBC might be a little out of reach I think, realistically. I would try for U of C if you're looking to go to a University...

Driving a BMW doesn't = good grades haha. Seriously though, if school isn't your thing, stop wasting your time and go into some form of skilled labour. Good pay, honest living, good hours, and we always need more people for that.

I agree, But if I were you id take a skilled trade till ur 21 than
apply, less credentials needed or requirements. This is what im doing, make good money, save some than apply later on so im basically working and ugrading than "going back to school". =D

You can apply any where you want.

Based on the fact that you already have MRC doesn't mean they won't accept you:

They only reason you may want to have them look at your MRC is if you want to use MRC classes for transferable credit:

Otherwise, for the most part, they'll look at your highschool transcripts. ie, if you want to get into Science: they look at your HS since you don't have any prior science from MRC:

I'm currently applying for UofC. I sent them my transcripts for highschool and Sait. Whether or not I sent my Sait is actually irrelevant for credit. But since I aced my Sait program, it looks better for application, since they will look at the grades.

apparently you only need a 2.0gpa to get into UBC. My friend at sait just got accepted into UBC with a 2.0gpa for his Mgmt major.
He said himself that he was confused n kept on asking his counselors if it was really only a 2.0gpa to get in, his counselor said that since he's an out of town student he only needs a 2.0.
something along those lines.

but i was confused, UofL requires a 3.0gpa to get in. 0_o?

That is weird. I've heard competitive average for UBC Business faculty is ridiculously high. But you know, in truth, you don't know til you try. Maybe I take back this morning's post, can't hurt to at least give it a shot. Worse comes to worse, you spent an application fee but gained valuable knowledge.
