You'd need to provide more information. Look the at profiles thread. Also, what is "Advanced math"?

It depends on what country your coming from. What your grades look like in relative to students from your country. I did my undergraduate UBC, and from what the professors told us. For canadian students they cared more about their scores in Micro and Macro theory, econometrics than mathematics for the masters. I know several students who got admitted with only minimum mathematics particularly, calculus III and linear Algebra.

Honours students from UBC are pretty much guaranteed admission if their average is in the range of most honors students. UBC's acceptance rate in the past was quite high (around 33%). This year with the financial crisis there is a huge number of applicants are rejected because the applicant pool has doubled. They financial crisis has caused them to let in a larger M.A class than what they would have liked, so they may not let in as many candidates in the future. In the past they admitted a high number, because only 33% of admitted candidates actually came.
