【学长亲笔】UBC的Sauder商学院究竟有多难申请

UBC（英属哥伦比亚大学）的Sauder（尚德）商学院是加拿大西部最负盛名的商学院，虽然可以和UBC的Sauder商学院比肩齐名的商学院有若干，例如东部多伦多大学的Rotman商学院，Western大学的Ivey商学院，皇后大学的Smith商学院，麦吉尔大学的Desautels管理学院等，然而由于上述的其它学院都位于加拿大东部，而Sauder是加拿大西部为数不多的名牌商学院，也就造成了Sauder的录取率要明显低于其它著名的商学院。 DreamOffer的创始人 Allen 本科就毕业于Sauder商学院Finance专业。

近年来UBC大学平均录取率是52%，然而Sauder的录取率只有6%。

高中课程平均成绩至少要达到92%。

更重要的是，Sauder的申请过程十分考验申请者的综合能力，不仅需要完成六至七篇申请文书，话题涵盖个人经历、课外活动、领导力、价值观等，更要进行视频面试，远程即时回答考官的问题。

另外，即使进入了Sauder商学院，也不是高枕无忧，因为大一大二学的都是general的课程，等到大三的时候学生才能正式选择Sauder的商科课程。而且并不是所有的同学都可以选择热门的专业，Sauder会根据学生大一大二的GPA来开放选择专业的日期和时间。GPA越高，就越早有资格选择热门专业，例如Finance金融，Accounting会计都是Sauder最受欢迎的专业。

此外，如果大学第一年的平均分低于70%，就会被踢出Sauder，以后也没有办法选择Sauder的课程了。

为什么选择Sauder商学院？

很多人可能会觉得商科所学习的内容比较“水”，而且不同学校所讲述的内容也大同小异。诚然，商学院在所学内容上并无高下，然而不同商学院所能提供的机会则天差地别。

而且不论他人的眼光是什么，商科在加拿大依然是最受欢迎的专业，也是录取要求最高的专业。很多认为商科所学习的内容比较“水”的人只是吃不到葡萄皮说葡萄皮酸罢了。

那为什么这么多优秀的学生对Sauder趋之若鹜呢？

首先，就业机会是Sauder商学院的最大优势。作为加拿大西部的商学院老大，许多大公司，如四大会计事务所，五大银行，SAP，IBM，微软等均与Sauder建立了合作，为Sauder的学生提供众多实习与工作机会。同时Sauder也为学生的职业发展提供了诸多支持，例如专门为商学院学生设立的Career Center会提供一对一的职业规划培训和面试指导等专业服务。

同时，Sauder的毕业生组成了强大的全球校友人脉网，在世界各地都能找到校友资源的加持。值得一提的是，华为公司的副董事长兼首席财务总监孟晚舟就在UBC Sauder读博士。并且华为是Sauder商学院最大的企业赞助商。

最后，Sauder商学院具有众多的国际交流机会（exchange program），可以去美国、欧洲、澳洲交流，也有交流回中国的机会。对清华北大有执念的同学就可以通过Sauder的国际交换项目去中国顶级大学修学分。

什么样的学生可以进入Sauder？

Sauder学院对于高中所学课程要求不算苛刻，需要英语12，英语11，Pre-calculus 12, Pre-calculus 11, 一门英语之外的外语（如中文），以及一门自然科学学科。但如上所言，这些课程的平均分数要达到92%才能有机会被录取。

而且有一门或几门AP成绩，比如AP经济、AP统计学、AP微积分等会显著增加录取的可能性。DreamOffer的创始人Allen当年就以平均分97%进入到了Sauder商学院。

UBC官方明确说明，它们不仅需要考虑学生成绩，还需要学生展示自己的Personal Profile（可理解为“个人综合背景”），以便让学校了解你是一个什么样的“人”。

Personal Profile对于商学院的申请格外重要，Sauder会用面试和文书两个环节了解申请者的个人情况。下面就让大家观摩一下Personal Profile的难度吧！

Personal Profile 问题1

Personal Profile 问题2

申请文书题目和范文1

Explain how you responded to a problem and/or an unfamiliar situation. What did you do, what was the outcome, and what did you learn from the experience? (maximum 200 words)

The stressful experience of working graveyard shifts, dealing with demanding and impolite customers, and failing at cooking at my job at a McDonalds in East Vancouver was one of the greatest challenges that I had to overcome. It was hard to adjust to my new job. I felt powerless when rude customers would loudly complain about their orders, yelling profanities. In the kitchen, I’d often overcook the hamburger patties, and customers would complain. I like to take pride in my work, and these shameful failures drove me to zealously improve my skills. For the next few months, I observed the senior employees, taking note of every small detail in how they worked. I learned to clean the grill and cook patties evenly so they wouldn’t overcook. I overcame my fear of dealing with loud and rude customers by staying calm and calling a manager. Most importantly, I learned to effectively manage my time so I could work graveyard shifts still have time for schoolwork on the weekends. The improvement in my skills and confidence at work showed me the transformative power of taking initiative in bettering yourself. Through my initiative, I have become a veteran employee and a better student.

Describe what you've learned about yourself as a leader and team member through your past experiences. Provide specific examples. What skills will you further develop and/or address in the near future and how? (maximum 200 words)

To me, a leader is a pillar of support that helps bring out the best in their team and can be relied upon to help. The Air Cadet Field Training Exercise I went on a few years ago was a defining moment for me to showcase those traits. My teammates for the shelter-building activity were Sea Cadets who didn’t have our survival training and knowledge. As the only Air Cadet, I knew I would have to be the leader. I taught them the basic structure of a lean-to, the type of shelter we were building, and delegated the task of tying up the tarp to the Sea Cadets after they told me they could tie knots well. When one of them worried about running out of twine because he messed up a knot, I reassured him that we would have enough. Seeing my team members’ faces go from confusion to confidence made me feel like my guidance had made a difference, although I worried I had sounded unconfident at times. I realized the importance of being more verbally assertive when leading a team. Now, I am working on the right balance of assertiveness to not seem unconfident or too authoritative.

Explain how you responded to a problem and/or an unfamiliar situation. What did you do, what was the outcome, and what did you learn from the experience? (maximum 200 words)

Ever since I was a child, teachers, relatives, and other adults would always describe me as mature and trustworthy, citing my serious and honest demeanor, cautious and responsible approach to life, and my logical and deliberate personality. I would always be the one to caution my friends about things like jaywalking to catch the bus or throwing rocks during elementary school games.

One of my most proud moments was during my volunteering session with SFU Summer Camps. I was volunteering at Under the Sea, an aquatic camp, and every few days, other camps would come to the pool. With close to a hundred campers in the pool, the instructors were always on edge about safety, especially since a camper had been injured just a few days ago. Determined to prevent any injury from happening, I was active in reminding campers to follow the rules, clearing campers away from the diving boards when other people were diving, explaining the rules to the ESL campers that didn’t understand them, and putting away unused pool toys. At my volunteer evaluation, I was elated when my instructor, Feliepe, praised my attention to safety, telling me that he “really trusted my judgement” and thought I brought a “mature outlook” to volunteering. Feliepe was very serious about his job as a camp instructor, and I was touched that he considered me somebody he could confidently trust with the campers. The proud validation I felt that day helped me find myself and better understand my own personality.

What is important to you? And why？(maximum 250 words)

I have always valued the freedom to do what I want. I have always liked RPG and sandbox games because of their extensive freedom of self-expression, and I only started enjoying piano once I finished the exams and was allowed to play whatever I wanted. So, when I had to make a difficult choice between academic advancement and the freedom to learn whatever I wanted, I chose the latter. When I was in grade 10, I could have graduated early in grade 11, since I had almost all the necessary credits. My parents pressured me to graduate early because they had both entered university early. I labored over the decision and finally decided I didn’t want to graduate early. I felt like I wasn’t ready for post-secondary, as I was still exploring my passions and didn’t know what I wanted to major in. In the next two years, I was able to take courses for subjects I wanted to experience – chemistry, biology, law, accounting, and economics – instead of what was required. I was able to pursue extracurricular activities, such as a part-time job, summer volunteering, and driving lessons. Above all, I discovered a genuine interest in biology, chemistry, and business. I doubt I would have been able to do all this if I had graduated early. My decision to follow what was important to me – the freedom to learn what I wanted – allowed me to enrich my life, become a more mature and worldly person, and discover my genuine interests.

Tell us more about ONE or TWO activities listed above that are most important to you. Please explain the role you played and what you learned in the process. You will be asked for a reference who can speak to your response. (maximum 350 words)

My volunteer experience at SFU Summer Camps and my job at McDonald’s were two activities integral to the development of my teamwork and collaboration skills.

I have volunteered at SFU for two consecutive summers. I was responsible for keeping campers entertained and participating in camp activities, following safety guidelines to ensure camper safety, and being a trustworthy role model. It was an important experience in breaking out of my comfort zone and working with an age group I wasn’t familiar with. I had always thought of myself as being bad at working with kids. In an attempt to improve, I partnered up with another volunteer to lead a circle game. I suggested to my partner that we attend the volunteer workshop on how to lead games, which paid off, since the workshop helped us come up with a new ball game for the campers to play. Explaining the rules proved to be difficult, as it was my first time speaking to such a large group of campers. Although keeping the campers focused was challenging, the game was a success, and working with my fellow volunteers and instructors was an invaluable collaborative experience.

The teamwork I learned from volunteering was a great help when I took on a job at McDonald’s. Because I worked part-time during the school year, I had to learn to effectively manage my time between driving lessons, swim team practices, schoolwork, and my 16-22 hour workweeks. This job taught me the importance of communication in the workplace. I learned to communicate in a positive and friendly manner, always thanking coworkers for notifying me about issues like product levels and modified orders and addressing every coworker by name. Sometimes I would be missing an item from an order, and by confirming that the item was missing before telling the kitchen to make it again, I learned to think before speaking to reduce confusion and food waste from duplicate items. I have worked at McDonald’s for more than a year now, and the job has helped me gain real-world work experience while refining my communication and time management skills.

怎么样？震惊了吗？Sauder很有可能让学生回答以上所有的问题哦! 每一个问题的回答长度是50-200字，所以完整写完Personal Profile的工作量对于高中生是非常庞大的，更别说后面的视频面试和文书了 - Video Interview & Essay。

从申请的过程和结果来看，学习成绩仍然是最重要的，而短文的写作需要展示一个真实的你，发生在你身上的真实事例才会真正打动学校的招生官员。

非常感谢这位同学提供给我们的短文及申请体会，希望能帮助正在申请和将要申请的孩子们，也希望所有的孩子都能心想事成，得到自己理想大学的offer。

在商科申请过程中，最有特色也最有挑战性的是面试环节。面试并不是当面或者视频聊天，而是需要回答Sauder提前准备好的两个问题，学生需要用录制视频的方式回答。

学生先登陆自己的申请账号，测试一下视频音频录制设备是否可用，之后开始问题的回答。一旦问题开始播放，你就不可以暂停或者重新开始了，之后学生有30秒时间构思，90秒时间作答，作答机会只有一次。

面试环节是考验学生的演讲能力，应变能力，尤其是在压力环境下能否从容地表达自己的想法。Sauder商学院希望学生能够自信作答，展示真实的自我，不要刻意追求完美。

另外视频录制时候的穿着和灯光背景等也需要安排好。建议穿合身的西装，如果没有成套的西装，至少要穿衬衣。把细节做到极致，才可以脱颖而出。No Swag！

除了录制视频和音频来回答问题，UBC Sauder也希望在面试环节考察学生的临场写作能力。传统的考查方式是学生可以在线下随意支配时间，动用一切工具和资源回答申请页面上的问题。

而面试中的临场写作题需要学生在有限的时间内完成文章的攥写（一般是30分钟300字），中途不能切换到其他页面，也不能使用任何工具。根据DreamOffer的经验，这种写作难度比雅思大作文还要难。

最后的最后，线下文书依然是非常麻烦的一个环节，通常在申请页面上会让学生回答六至八个问题，这是Sauder商学院一直以来都要求提交的申请材料之一，刚才提到线上面试即兴写作是这几年才刚推出的。下列就是近年来经常出现的线下文书问题：

请谈谈你是如何解决一个不熟悉的问题的？结果如何？你从中学到了什么？
请介绍一下你们高中的校园文化，你是如何参与并为之做出贡献的？
你最看重什么，为什么？

为了回答以上这些问题，学生需要分别各写一篇200至250字的短文。在有限的字数内，学生需要清楚表达自己的经历，深入分析所见所想，而且思想一定要有深度，不能泛泛而谈。

总结

综上所述，无论是面试还是文书写作，UBC商学院的申请集中考验的是学生的交流能力。不仅要见多识广，经历丰富，还需要将自己的所见所闻所想讲述出来，用自己的故事打动考官。所以，申请UBC的Sauder是一次全面考验，不仅成绩需要优秀，更重要的是Personal Profile。

DreamOffer用自己的鼎力相助与专业指导，使得各位申请大学的学子战果累累，其中也有数名学生申请到UBC的Sauder商学院。我们有专业的文书老师帮助商学院的申请者挖掘自身经历，提炼自身长处，润色申请材料，从而吸引招生官的火眼金睛。
