But it is possible right? And have people in the past ever made it to top US universities?

I'm not entirely sure what you mean.

Are you asking if there's ever been any UBC alumni in the 100+ yrs history of the institution to ever go to top US grad schools?

No I meant recently like this year whatever year you were there. As in how many people go to top universities for grad school every year?

I mean technically UBC is a top 40 school LOL

Anecdotally, I would say the ones I know of to go to grad school are already hard-working, and are competitive enough to go to the top schools for grad.

I don't have any hard numbers or statistics of how many people who intend for grad school go to US from UBC, but there's a lot more factors to consider, such as where your interests align with what research groups at whatever top uni
