Also, who did you get to write your reference letters? Would it be okay if none of them knew you "academically" (ie NOT a teacher or professor), but rather a person as a whole?
I got in as an OOP with a cumulative GPA of about 3.3/4.0 at the end of my biology degree. I have no idea what grade UBC calculated for me, but I imagine it is between 70-75% (my pre-req's like chem and calc definitely dragged me down).

I got two pharmacists that I worked with very closely for a long time to write my references and I don't think that there is really a requirement or a preference for academic references anyway, since they already have your grades for that.
