UBC Undergraduate nursing program 2008/2009

thanks for the reply. Well, I have a science degree from ubc and its my first time applying. I'm not sure what my gpa is because my marks are all in percentages and i never really calculated the gpa myself. However, my marks are i guess around B+.

I don't think i got an interview though, because i just checked the nursing website, and they posted that the interviews are being held May 28 & 30, June 5 & 6. So, i mean, those dates are really soon so I'm just assuming that I probably didn't get one then.

Btw, did u try to apply elsewhere (i.e. BCIT)? or are u just aiming to go into ubc nursing?

So did anyone get an interview with UBC? If so how are you preparing for it. I do not live in UBC or Canada and I understand you need a knowledge of UBC nursing laws. Does anyone have an experience with the new kind of interview process they are using?
Thanks

oh wow, u need to know the nursing laws? Oh no, I'm not sure how to prepare for this at all, especially now that they drastically changed the process. I really need to prepare for this, but I'm hoping someone could give me some advice. Thanks.

I think nursenumber1 (the previous poster) is confused about a few things. When s/he mentioned living in UBC, it made no sense. UBC is the University of British Columbia. You can't "live in" it. The original question referred to people who had applied for acceptance into the UBC nursing program, which has an interview as part of their applicant screening process. The "nursing laws" most likely refer to the provincial nursing practice act, the legislation under which nurses are given permission to practice and the standards they are held to. They are things you'll learn as part of your nursing education. No one would expect you to know about them before you've even been accepted into the program, so you really have nothing to prepare for in that respect.

Think it was a typo from a non-Cdn resident. There are residences on the UBC campus but back in my day, they were hard to get into.

Congrats Kendall16, I got accepted too for january! My apologies to anyone who was annoyed by my previous post. yes, i am definately not a canadian resident.
Goodluck to everyone else!

Hi everyone, a question for nursenumber1 and kendall16 and anyone else who has received an acceptance letter from UBC for the 2008/2009 terms...what days did you do your interviews? I am very anxious waiting to hear whether I've been accepted. I had an interview on June 6th so I'm thinking that perhaps the people whose interviews were on the earlier dates were notified first? I hope this is the case. Good luck to everyone. Any further info or updates would be very much appreciated.
