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!!

aaah my friend got hers last year on the 25th! but to know as early as the 22nd?! I am so nervous!

Good luck :)

Oh, don't quote me on that.. I just said March 22nd because that's what I noticed last year's posters started getting interview offers (yes I am religiously following this forum, lol). Who knows, maybe this year is an entirely different story. I don't even know when the interview dates are!

Hi everyone!

I'm new to the blog but I emailed the registrar directly and she said they will START sending out invitations around Thursday....

Good luck everyone! I've got the jitters.

Hi folks,

I'm also new here. Thanks @soandroid for the update from the registrar's office!

This wait is terrible! Wishing everyone luck!

Hi everyone,

I got an interview invitation this afternoon, so I guess the process has begun.

Good luck to everyone!

invitations are coming guys! got mine today too=) best of luck for everyone waiting, you will be next!

CONGRATS and yes God willing! Just curious what was your grade range?

Congratulations to those who have received an interview. I guess they started yesterday, instead of today. This makes me incredibly anxious. I wish those who have received an interview the best of luck, and those (like me) who have yet to receive one, best of luck as well.

This is a very anxious time for me, as I'm sure it is for everyone else...

Oh - to those who have received interview offers, when are the interview dates this year?

Thanks.

I'm right with you hopingfor2012! I'm sure you've also been refreshing like crazy. Waiting if definitely the hardest, but we'll come out ok either way. Wish I knew their cut off GPA for this year.

Vanessa - indeed I have. lol.

I think that the GPA cut off won't really make a difference because I think they consider the average between your supplemental grade (that they assign) and GPA, so it's the balance of the two. I read that some people who had GPA averages around 73-75% still got in, while others who had GPA's at 80-85% didn't, so don't worry too much about GPA.

Good luck. I'm going to go for a run. Sitting infront of the computer is not healthy for me... going crazy.
