GPA to be in the top 5% (and top 10%) in Science faculty?

[BruceWayne]

Hey guys, I'm just trying to gauge if I'm going to get a scholarship for students in the top 5% and top 10% in the Science faculty, and was wondering if anyone knew a ballpark of the averages needed? I know it changes every year, but a ball-park estimate would be very helpful! Thanks!

I'm going to guess ~90%. I had a 85-86% the past few years and I didn't get anything from UBC. Just my guess though.

Is the scholarship OP mentioned assigned automatically to the qualified students or is there a separate application process?

OP, is this the Wesbrook by any chance? If so, nominations come out around early Aug I believe.

I think it was the Trek, or something, but it's one where you don't have to apply or anything.

I got the $1500 Trek scholarship with a GPA of around 89%.

Hi, is Trek scholarship based on overall average or the average for that particular academic year? Also is Trek scholarship for top 5% or top 10% ?

[Mithril]

It is awarded to the top 5% in each faculty and based on the average for that academic year.

I had 97% and 94% in my last two years but never got the scholarship. I think there might be a minimum number of credits to get it...????
