Spilling the Tea on my University Degree (My UBC Experience + Advice) | Shania Clarke

[@ShinyStarShy]

For anyone interested in the media studies program, I just posted a video where I talk about my experience!

[@alexfoxcroft8926]

Imagine having UBC as ur safety school...

[@kobeszeto]

Hi, is it possible to make a video on your high school courses, grades, overall averages, extracurriculars etc. I think it will help a lot of high school students wanting to get into UBC. Thanks!

[@ShinyStarShy]

That's a great idea!

[@Apologue]

I started a channel that helps students dream bigger and to make more informed career decisions. I think it would be an awesome resource for students!

[@ShinyStarShy]

@@Apologue i love this idea!!

[@boistop8774]

Yes I’m from Calgary too! 😂 I want to go to UBC so bad 😩😩

[@cadderly3997]

I just saw this video- I'm starting the BMS program at UBC this year!! I'm so excited

[@ShinyStarShy]

You'll have a blast!

[@anshnoorkaur5994]

Can you please tell us about the scholarships you got at UBC and how you got them? I got accepted and am an international student so that is pretty vital for my financial well-being haha

[@123ccjc]

Tea is burning your hands so let's start spilling it! Nice!

[@ShinyStarShy]

real proud of that one

[@hayleyb1580]

I'm hoping to go to UBC next year!

[@brijeshhota9293]

I got into Waterloo. But I wanted to go to UBC for my undergraduate in CS. 😩

[@linzi-yujerry6848]

Waterloo cs is elite tho

[@radhikagomber2956]

PLease make a vedio on how to get into UBC plzz.Loved your energy,subscribed.

[@123ccjc]

Lighting is spot on!! Nice!

[@humairak743]

Hi Shania!! Can you make a video on ubc’s personal profile and how to make the best out of those 250 words? I’m really struggling on those essays right now. Thanks!

[@mandyh.7984]

I'm thinking about transferring to Media Studies at UBC in second year! I would love to hear more about what you think of it :)

[@gabijab8608]

Hey great video! I’m pretty interested in UBC but I live in the US, and I was wondering if there were a few US students and is it harder for international students to get accepted?

[@ShinyStarShy]

There's a lot of US students and a lot of people with dual citizenship. I know a bunch of people from different states who went to UBC and loved it. I don't think it's too hard for international students to get accepted. I think UBC has a pretty high number of how many international students they can accept.

[@meredithgillespie7846]

love this so much!!

[@anniexia2103]

I want to go to UBC for media studies but it seems very hard to get in because it only has 40 seats, would you say you had a strong portfolio?

[@ShinyStarShy]

Hey Annie! I'm actually editing a video talking about the media studies program, so look for that in the coming week! I was in the first round of students going through the program, so my application was a little bit different and I was already at UBC when I got accepted. I'd say that my portfolio was fairly strong. I think that if you show you're serious about media and have some pieces to show for it (whether it's an essay or photos or videos), then you have a fairly good shot!

[@ShinyStarShy]

The video is up now!

[@angelawang125]

Ahh I wanna try for Ubc cheer because I aged out of all-star! How is the team environment? Is tumbling necessary to make the team? :D

[@ShinyStarShy]

angela wang fully recommend trying out!!! It was one of the highlights of my university experience. Tumbling isn't necessary at all! A lot of people on the team didn't have tumbling. If you look up UBC cheer on Facebook, you can find all the tryout information ♥️

[@angelawang125]

Shania Clarke AHH yay tysm!! 💕

[@mylifeinajournal]

Heyy do you think as an International, if I dont have AP or IB, it lower my chances of getting in UBC?

[@gauravsarkar7]

May I check with you which other Universities did you apply for film production in Ontario?

[@ShinyStarShy]

I applied to York and Ryerson

[@gauravsarkar7]

[@faizaali641]

Are there any Muslims there? are they gonna take me ? am I going to be harassed because of my hijab? Is it good for me to go to ubc? Ubc is one of my dream schools and am afraid scared to go there!

[@manavkakkar2847]

Nope. They respect everybody and c everybody is really like there.

[@mariafernandacorralbarrera8397]

Great video!!!! Do you recommend this school for me I am a mexican girl

[@thandiwecroke3430]

I am considering applying to UBC. I'm American, and I wonder how the application process would be different for me.

[@ShinyStarShy]

I'm not too sure what the process is like, since I applied as a domestic student. Check out UBC's prospective students website for more info!

[@sabbysingh4179]

How are trent and unb universities? Are they any good?

[@ShinyStarShy]

Sorry, I'm not too sure how they are! I'm not from BC and UBC was the only university I looked at here

[@ShinyStarShy]

@Tyler Haraf I can't talk too much about the difference in courses since I've never taken a class there, but the UBC campus is 10x bigger and way prettier. Also the cities are just completely different. Vancouver is a much bigger city, whereas Victoria is pretty laid back and a slower pace of life. If you can, I would definitely recommend visiting the campuses to get a feel of what it's like! I did a campus tour of UBC and that completely convinced me to go there

[@Apologue]

Hope you're enjoying UBC so far! I started a channel that helps students dream bigger and to make more informed career decisions. I think it would be an awesome resource for students!

[@nicolasguarnizo9323]

Subbed! :D

[@threads_of_kofo]

Are black students well accepted at UBC?........... Cute mug❤☺

[@ShinyStarShy]

Yes! They have a really wide range of diversity at the school

[@jini2shoes]

there are hardly any black ppl here - a black ubc student

[@oneofthetrasians]

Yeah ubc is a very ethnically diverse school (I think its the most diverse in N. America or Canada) but there isn't a big black population here. That being said I'd say the overall campus culture is still very accepting.
