Course Content
Before You Apply
To get into UBC Commerce, you must first understand the program’s requirements. Joel gives a detailed explanation of grade expectations, the anticipated admissions cutoff, key dates and deadlines, and more.
Clarifying the Cryptic Admissions Process
Joel reveals exactly how the UBC Commerce admissions process works through a simple, yet thorough breakdown. With years of experience and proven results, you will gain more transparency on what goes on behind closed doors.
Admissions Secrets & Past Success Strategies
What does UBC Commerce look for? Having worked with hundreds of students and boasting a 90% success rate with his 1-on-1 clients, Joel has fine-tuned a very specific approach and technique with his students. He’ll share his strategies, mistakes to avoid, and case studies with past clients.
Self-Awareness & Emotional Maturity
Everyone has a uniqueness that differentiates them from the rest of the world. What is it about you that makes you different from other applicants? That’s the purpose of this module. Joel uses a proprietary set of frameworks and tools to help you craft a ‘brand identity’—ultimately allowing you to build a more authentic and memorable application.
Research
Research is a critical skill at university, yet very few students demonstrate it in their applications. In this module, Joel teaches students how to go beyond the call of duty when it comes to conducting (and conveying) good research on UBC and the Sauder BCom program. This module also explains the research that the admissions committee may perform on you as an applicant. We will provide specific tips on what you can do to leave the best impression.
Leadership Development
Leadership is one skill that every single top-ranked university program uses to describe their ideal candidate. However, it’s also the one skill students least effectively demonstrated by applicants. In this module, students get exclusive access to Joel’s curated database of approved leadership opportunities, along with several real examples of past student leadership initiatives.
Essay Writing Essentials
Here’s what you didn’t learn in English class: how to write a high-impact, outstanding admissions essay. Joel teaches you the exact process he uses to help his students create thousands of successful essays—one client describes this module as “a necessity for any student applying to university”.
Video Interviewing Essentials
It’s incredible how many students believe they are good at video interviews, until the camera turns on and they don’t know how to act or what to say. The video interview has become the ‘deciding factor’ in admissions decisions, more than any other part of the application. That’s why it’s absolutely critical that you develop your verbal articulation and on-camera presence with our training and exercises.
BCom Personal Profile Overview
Joel provides an overview about the UBC Commerce supplementary application, including the Personal Profile and online video interview. He’ll also go through common confusions and mistakes students make on the application.
The BCom Video Interview
In this module, you’ll receive a step-by-step guide on how the online video interview works. This includes access to over 30 of the real questions used in the Sauder BCom video interview, real examples on how to answer them, and guidance on how the admissions committee is looking for you to answer them. Joel will even review one of your recorded video responses and provide personal feedback.

Trusted by parents. Approved by students.
“Joel helped me with my Personal Profile for my application for UBC Sauder. He knows what he's doing.
Without his help, I would have been very stressed about my personal profile since it was so essential to my acceptance at UBC and it wouldn't have turned out half as good. I would recommend him to anyone applying to UBC Sauder.”
“Working with Joel has been a pleasure. He offers a creative, academic and persuasive writing style. Through phone calls, he has helped me put my thoughts into words and place information through my essays to optimize my chances of acceptance.
And through about two months of working together, Joel’s helped me with multiple applications to which I'm submitting very confidently. I'd recommend this program for any student applying to university.”
“As parents, we were really impressed with Joelservice when he helped our son navigate his way through the overwhelming university application process…
All I can say is after the first conversation with Joel we had a huge sigh of relief. His knowledge is current relevant. He demystified the process and it was a true pleasure dealing with such a professional. I highly recommend Joel service to any applicant on their journey through the university application process.”

Frequently Asked Questions
When is the bootcamp available?
The bootcamp is available for advanced access on July 1st, 2019 (at a discounted rate). Modules 1 through 8 become available on September 1st, 2019.
The remaining modules are available in the early fall once this year's application is released. If you enroll as an advanced access student, you will receive access to the full course when it becomes available, like everyone else enrolled.
Why should I take this bootcamp?
I've been advising students on their applications for ten years and my success rate is around 90% per year, this includes UBC BCom applicants. This bootcamp encompasses everything a prospective applicant needs to know to get admitted.
How many students are enrolled in this bootcamp?
I enrol 25 students to this bootcamp on a first come, first serve basis. I limit enrollment because I like to be involved with my students and I simply don't have enough capacity for more.
What if I have a question? Am I able to contact you?
Yes! I will personally respond to your emails and queries about the bootcamp or your application via email. I take a limited number of students in each bootcamp, which allows me to answer your queries in a timely manner.
Please note, this bootcamp does not include essay editing or revisions, but I do provide that service at an additional rate. I recommend everyone to go through the bootcamp fully before we dive into my essay services.
How long will this bootcamp take me to complete?
The bootcamp contains over 10 hours of exclusive video footage, plus worksheets, templates, and other resources.
You could complete all of the modules in a couple days; however, we suggest you space it out by taking this bootcamp before (or alongside) writing your essays and applications. I always say starting earlier is better.
I also realize high school can be extremely busy, so I will personally send you email reminders if I notice you haven't taken a module recently.
What if I am unhappy with the course?
I've never had someone unhappy with my services, but if you made a purchase by mistake or there is another issue, please contact us within 24 hours of your purchase describing your issue and I will refund you and remove your access.
Unfortunately, because this is a digital product and can be duplicated, I cannot offer a refund period any longer than that.
What if I want to buy multiple bootcamps?
I offer my existing clients who are currently enrolled in bootcamps a special 50% off discount for additional bootcamps. Please purchase your first bootcamp and you'll unlock access to this exclusive discount.
I'm a transfer student. Does this bootcamp work for me?
