University of British Columbia - I dont understand how applications work?

[Procrastination]

Hello fellow IBers:

I want to study economics or commerce at ubc, however, I don't really understand how does the application process work and what your degree actually conveys when you're done with university as you graduate. I'd like to get into ubc with a scholarship. Could somebody please shed some light on this admission process? How can I get a degree in which I'm officially an economist? I don't get how does Liberal Arts work , this mechanism differs greatly from my country's university courses. Furthermore, if I was to study commerce, what would the Bcomm do for me in the working field? You can notice I'm pretty much lost, I admit it, I know practically nothing and my schools counsellor is not that great. In the other hand, how can I get to study economics, I've been at ubc's economics webpage and I've read the undergrad section but I don't get it. I mean, you can't get directly into ubc to study economics isn't? Is it true I won't find work in canada or usa if I just bear with me a Bcomm or BLA?

I'd really appreciate it if you could answer some of this questions, I know, I'm pretty stupid when it comes to universities.

I applied to UBC this year, but because of my IB results I'm not sure if I will get accepted

The first thing you need to do is create an account here: https://you.ubc.ca/u.../applytoubc.ezc

From there, the process is pretty much straightforward, but here is a video that guides you through the whole thing just in case http://youtu.be/_uS2w7lDQQc
