Is it possible to transfer from SFU to UBC if my schedule at SFU looks like this ?
First Semester
Math 151 - 3
Phys 120 - 3
Chem 121 - 4
Psyc 100 - 3
Second Semester
Phys 121 - 3
Phys 130 - 2
Math 152 - 3
Math 232 - 3
Engl 199 - 3
Third Semester
Math 251 - 3
Math 310 - 3
Stat 270 - 3
I'm really not sure cause I just started to use the BC Transfer Guide as of today. It would be excellent if someone would help me out! Cause civil engineering isn't offered at SFU /: .

also found this page, look under "Admission from a Post-Secondary Institution": http://www.calendar.ubc.ca/vancouver/index.cfm?tree=12,195,272,28#1061
"A student will be admitted into second-year engineering if that student had successfully completed or had transfer credits for at least 27 credits of our first-year program. Students not meeting this criterion would be admitted into our first-year program."
And http://www.calendar.ubc.ca/vancouver/index.cfm?tree=12,195,272,33
Gives you the list of the courses in UBC 1st year engineering
From the BC transfer guide, we know that
SFU MATH 151,152, 232 = UBC MATH 100, 101, 152 respectively, thats 9 units
SFU PHYS 120, 121, 131 (8 units)= UBC PHYS 101, 102 (6 units)
SFU STAT 270 = UBC STAT 2nd (exempt from STAT 251), (3 units)
SFU ENGL 199 = UBC ENGL 122, (3 units)
SFU CMPT 128 (3 units) = UBC CPSC 1st (3 units), exempt from UBC APSC 160
That's 24 transferrable units into UBC if you're also taking CMPT 128, but you're not, so you're have 21 transferrable units into UBC. That means you're short 6 credits/units to be considered for transfer into UBC engineering 2nd year.
On this page: http://engineering.ubc.ca/eng/students/admissions/transfer-credits
They say that
"Many students receive transfer credits when transferring to UBC Engineering from post-secondary institutions. Some of those credits will be transferred as specific UBC equivalent courses. In other cases, UBC will acknowledge the coursework produced in the school where the student is transferring from and grant 1st or 2nd-year level transfer credits that are not necessarily articulated as equivalent to a specific UBC course; they will be “unassigned” 1st or 2nd-year level transfer credits. In all likelihood, these unassigned transfer credits may become articulated as a specific equivalent UBC course, but they will have to be re-assessed. So if the transfer student believes that he/she has covered the content of a specific UBC course in one or more previously completed courses but did not receive exactly equivalent transfer credits, he/she will have to go through the re-assessment of unassigned credits process outlined below.
