BC nursing programs 2022 - grades

[summer2064]

Hi,

I am currently applying to the following nursing programs and am quite unsure about my GPA at the moment. I am aware nursing programs in BC are very competitive and would just like to have an idea of what grades people have gotten in with. Can anyone who recently got into the following programs share with me what their GPA was?

COTR, Selkirk, CNC, UNBC, Camosun/UVIC, UBCO, NIC, OC, VIU, UFV, and TRU 

I have a 91 in Foundations 12, 87 in English 12, 90 in Chemistry 11, 78 in Bio 12 (currently retaking for a better grade, I am anticipating 86+), and I am currently taking Chemistry 12 as well. I also have 24 non-nursing credits and I am taking some nursing courses right now that will help lessen my course load once I am in the program. 

I am also wondering if I should include my post-secondary credits as well when I apply and if that will increase my chances? I am applying to quite a few places and so ordering transcripts will be quite pricey and so I am just wondering if it is even worth it.

I am also applying to BCIT, Langara, and VCC with the required prerequisites but I am aware they prefer applicants with much more credits.

Thank you!

Hi Gulniza!

I got conditional offers from COTR and Selkirk.

Which school did you end up accepting? I’ve been accepted into COTR as well.

Hi, Nina_W!

Congratulations!

I applied only to VIU and NIC. I didn't get an offer from VIU. I am waitlist NIC. So, none of them, unfortunately. So waiting, for a miracle that NIC will offer close to September.

thinking, to apply even for practical nursing programs. I wasn't expecting that it is going to be soooo competitive.

Awh darn I am so sorry to hear that! Yeah it feels insane how competitive it is considering shortages… I applied to only UBC last year and when I didn’t get in I remember being devastated. Next year or the later NIC acceptance, do not lose hope!
