发布时间：Date: 2023-02-20 返回新鲜资讯Back to News

To address common pain points for UBC undergraduates in graduate applications—such as insufficient core competitiveness, unclear direction, and difficulties with cross-disciplinary applications—CheersYou（清柚教育） has compiled a detailed collection of successful graduate application cases from UBC students. Organized by three major undergraduate categories—business, STEM, and humanities/social sciences—the collection offers in-depth analysis of application strategies for students from diverse backgrounds, including marketing, finance, computer science, and design. It serves as a highly practical planning reference for students and parents preparing for graduate school.

These real-life cases not only demonstrate the admission possibilities for students with varying GPAs and standardized test scores but also highlight successful cross-disciplinary applications into media, business analytics, and business-related fields. By sharing the stories of multiple UBC students who secured offers from top universities worldwide such as HKU, UCL, Columbia, and JHU, CheersYou（清柚教育） aims to help parents and students bridge the information gap, precisely identify graduate school directions, and support students in realizing their dreams of attending their ideal institutions.
