UBC Nursing - Sep. 2012

[villanelle]

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!!

me too! got the offer this morning, been on the phone telling friends and family ever since. All the best to everyone who got in and fingers crossed for those of you still waiting to hear :)

[teeheeuhoh]

Got my acceptance email. I need to ask the student advisor for a possible deferral to next year though, although I doubt they'll agree. We'll see how this goes.

Got my acceptance at 10:52am :-)

Huge congratulations to everyone! I'm sure you'll have a wonderful experience in the programme.

[hopingfor2012]

crossing my fingers for you ess_bee, and thanks for your congratulations to all of us.

Congrats all, look forward to meeting you this fall and keeping my toes crossed for those of your still waiting to hear back. If you are curious, we were advised in our letters to respond by June 15th, so if any of you get waitlisted in the coming days, there is a good chance that after June 15th, you'll be bumped up pretty quickly (as people don't pass pre-req's or get accepted elsewhere)

I'm a UBC student and I have already completed the anatomy courses plus 3 credits of English.

Do I still need to send in a transcript?

I don't know if this helps, but the email that invited me to my interview (back in March), had this as part of the text:

Our records indicate that you are currently completing the human anatomy and physiology prerequisite. Please note you must complete the course and submit the final official transcript directly to UBC Enrolment Services by June 15, 2012.

So perhaps if yours didn't say that, then you don't need to send the transcript? Then again, you might just want to email them to find out!

If you are currently a UBC student, and you already completed the prerequisites, I don't think you need to submit a transcript. I never submitted a transcript, in any case, since I was a UBC student when I applied. My interview email did not have the text that crow_flies quoted so I think you should be ok, but also like crow_flies says, you can e-mail to be extra sure :)
