i had very similar stats too and got in this year:
Gpa: 70%
pcat: 80%
ec: Above average
interview: Nailed it
reference letters: Assuming they were great
personal statements: From the heart
i'm also in province and live in the okanagan.
My gpa was not great because i chose to party too much my first few years. I have no regrets but balance is definately the key to success. Also, practice, practice, and practice for the interview. I am naturally very confident around people (been serving/bartending in the restaurant industry for the last 8 years) but without the extra prep i did, i know that the interview wouldn't have gone as well as it did.
Extras i have:
Bsc biology
phamacy technician diploma
4 months working experince as a technician
upgraded/repeated 10 pre-req courses
it's nice to know that ubc looks at more than just grades and actually looks at the individual and what they are all about.
congrats! Those were really some loaded "extras" you got!
