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!!

has anyone heard back today? i'm going crazy with anticipation!"

me too. for those who got the offers, do you think they're sending the email by your ranking positions? thanks.

congratulations to those who got the acceptance!

I am not sure if they are going out by ranking or alphabetically. I think they had a huge discussion about it last year on this forum if you look up UBC 2011 and felt it was alphabetical.

I may not be able to get my transcript to UBC in time so one of you might still have a chance. Hope things work out for all of us!

Just a little note of support to those still waiting to hear: it looked like acceptance letters came over the course of a few weeks last year. I'm rooting for y'all!

[soandroid]

Thanks! It's weird how so many came out on Monday and then silence for two days..

Hope tomorrow is the day!

I was so anxious to have been waiting today, and didn't get any UBC email. I think I shouldn't torture myself.

Why might you not be able to get your transcript in time - we have a month, no? Or are you still finishing exams?

Agreed- if the normal system is not going to work go to an adviser immediately and explain the situation. There must be a way of making it work!

Good luck to everybody still waiting- based on how long it took them to hand out all the interview invites it can be a long and brutal process Alphabetical doesn't seem to be the system as my name is mid alphabet yet I got one early monday- so don't panic if your name starts with an A!

I went to hand in my acceptance form to the nursing student services on Tuesday and the woman there said the person who was sending out the acceptance emails (or at least the person who sent me my acceptance email and invite for an interview so I assume she handles all of it) sprained her ankle so she wasn't at work that day. I don't know if she is back today or sending out emails from home or if someone else is taking over. Sorry to everyone waiting I know it sucks!!

Good Morning Everyone!

I emailed a faculty member and it looks like the rest won't be handed out until next week...sigh! At least we can all try to enjoy the fabulous weather this weekend.

Hi, I haven't checked for a few days. I am still finishing my final exam. I am doing it by distance so the invigilation centre was only able to take me later this month. I have written to the school I am taking it from and also UBC but still waiting to hear back from both.

I don't think it's alphabetical because my last name starts with W.
