UBC Nursing - Sep. 2012

World Canada CA Programs

Published

Hello Everyone!

I am considering applying to UBC Nursing for the September 2012 intake... but I'm not quite sure if I'm eligible to apply...

My primary concern is my post-secondary credits... everyone seems to have already completed a Bachelor's before applying? As of now, I have 40+ credits... by the end of June 2010 I'll have 50+ credits (which is the deadline for all transcripts), but they're a combination of first-year science, calculus and language courses with only a couple of second year o-chem... would that be ok?

I am currently a Langara student, but I have studied at SFU before until my relocation.

I've also read on the website that the average age of applicants were 21-47 (please don't quote me on this, I can't remember the exact range)... and I'm now 18 (will soon turn 19 though), but I have the requirements it's just that I'm unsure if it's alright that my 50+ credits are mostly first-year...

My GPA now is 3.3 and hoping to boost it up after this semester...

I volunteer regularly at a senior home and am a certified lifeguard and swimming instructor, worked part-time at Timmys until relocation and now have a part-time job at a local grocery store... I just hope age isn't that big of a deal because I know what I want and I'm working for it...

Should I apply at all...

(Very Worried. HELP Please!!!)

Any advice will be greatly appreciated!!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!

Hey hopingfor2012! I can't yet respond to your personal message because I haven't made 15 posts yet on this site! It won't let me reply until I have done so! :no: But don't worry okay? I'll reply today hopefully, once I reach 15 posts lol! Just letting you know on this message board, didn't want you to think I was ignoring your message hun! =)

Lol, no worries. I had a feeling that that was the case, but I appreciate that you let me know via this thread as well.

pastaenthusiast... I had one question that I particularly struggled with as well. Maybe it was the same one. I also felt nervous about being asked the question, even though I felt that I should have known the answer. I feel you. lol. I relive that one regularly as well, moreso than the others.

Hello all,

Do you know when we'll know if we've been accepted or not? And what format they'll notify us- email, letter etc..

Thanks!

Last year we were informed by email in about two weeks.

Good luck everyone!

They said they would email us when we asked during our interview orientation =)

Does anyone know how many people the waitlist holds? Hopefully I'll be accepted straight in (^_^) but just in case, I don't, I was wondering what the cutoff is. The only thing I heard is that everyone on the waitlist last year eventually got a placement.

On another note, it's been one week since the last day of interviews, how is everyone feeling? :)

I just want to know already!!! I think I did well in my interview but who knows right? Perceptions can be deceiving! Now that finals are over I just have wayyyy too much time to think about this. I'm trying to distract myself by organizing my travel plans right now haha.

I'm distracting myself by checking to see if my marks from my final exams are up.

They're not.

Hi everyone! I was wondering, and I've been so curious I've had to come out of lurking to ask, do you think they meant that we would hear from them two weeks from our interview or two weeks from the end of interviews? For us in the first day of interviews, today marks two weeks from that time! Do you think it's possible we'll hear within a few days?

It's 2-3 weeks from the last day of interviews. They have to evaluate everyone before deciding.

I believe if it hasn't changed from 2 years ago, it was 10ish people..

Looking at last year, they had interviews between April 11-15 and they started hearing on April 26th. I am crossing my fingers for the next couple of days!

So, no news today... tomorrow? I am obsessively checking my email and the forum now...

Thanks for the info teeheeuhoh about the wait list. I was wondering about that as well.
