The student wants to study mining engineering at UBC to become a mining engineer. Mining engineering interests them because they like math and science and it is an in-demand field in Canada where their uncle works in mining. To be accepted into UBC's mining engineering program, the student's high school plan is to pass English language exams, take physics and chemistry in grade 11, earn 80 credits total, get high marks in grade 12, and do volunteer work related to research and history.
