Accerlerated BSN UBC 2015 Intake

eneon17 · Aug 28, 2014

Hey! I will be applying for the 2015 intake for UBC's accelerated BSN :) Judging by previous threads, it's quite competitive so I'm already a little nervous for the whole process. I can't wait for this thread to get going, we're all in this together!

A little bit about me:

I have a Bachelor of Science with an Advanced Major in Biology, and currently work as a Clinical Research Coordinator at a Dermatology Clinic. I won't go into my extracurriculars/volunteer work etc... On the OMSAS scale, my GPA is a 3.70 for my past two years of school but I'm not sure how it will be calculated for UBC. I think I have roughly an 83%?

I can't wait to go on this nerve-wracking journey with you. Who knows, maybe we'll be classmates!?

PS are you applying to any other schools?? I'm from Halifax. Dalhousie has a program but I would rather explore Vancouver and UBC seems like an incredible school.

Hi there!

I will be applying for September 2015 intake. I have a Health degree from UBC and a 2 year management diploma in Healthcare and Hospital management from BCIT. I currently work as an administrative manager, and in the past worked in a private medical clinic. My average from BCIT is 89%, and from my last 2 years at UBC is about 80%. I was told by the registrars office that they only calculate your GPA for the application from your most recent 30 credits, so lucky for me they will look at my BCIT credits first. Have you already submitted your application? Is anyone upgrading their human anatomy and physiology? I am taking it currently because mine are over 7 years old now. I am also applying to the BCIT program however I would prefer UBC as it is shorter, and the BCIT program would be repetitive as some of the courses I have already taken in my management program.
