Bsn program at UFV

Have you applied to any other schools??

No I haven't . I'm from Abbotsford so Chilliwack is nice and close and I know some people who go there for nursing and say its a great school. If I don't get in for Jan I'll try again for September. What about you?

I applied at BCIT, UFV and Douglas. I'm from Maple Ridge but I currently live in the West End so my boyfriend and I are just going to move when I find out where i'll be going for school to be closer. I went for 2 years at UFV already when I was living in Maple Ridge still, it is a good school I liked it! I also have a friend in Douglas program but I have yet to meet anyone in the BCIT program for some insight. Basically i'll go to whichever one says yes to me lol.

Oh wow, well I bet you will get into one of the schools! I know that UFV is a very good school. I've heard BCIT is also...haven't heard about Douglas but I'm sure they are all great! I've only done one semester in Abby at UFV taking a few non-nursing electives and I will be there again in Sept taking English and statistics(yikes) I've only been out of high school for a year...I'm really hoping my grades are good enough to get in! Good luck to you!!

You as well!

Hi there, I am currently applying for the fall 2011 class at UFV and have my interview tomorrow. I was wondering if anyone had any advice on the gpa and volunteer hours needed for acceptance. This is my second attempt at trying to get in as I was not accepted with a 3.3 gpa and 50 hrs volunteer I was told the average for last winters gpa was around 3.8!

I was also wondering if anyone had any advice on the the interview?:)

I am very nervous and am really hoping to be accepted for this fall.

did you get in Cassie?

I am hoping to get more information soon from the school.

wow good luck! im sure you will do great. The interview really isnt anything to worry about. They mostly as you questions on how you will afford it. What sources of support you have. They also give you a scenario and ask you to tell them what order you would approach all of the things you need to do in a stressful situation. They ask what stresses you out as well. Pretty general answers where you dont have to think too much just say how you feel and they are very nice about it so you feel very comfortable :) I first applied for last january and was not accepted but they kept me on the wait list so I start this september. I have also heard its a great school for nursing so I am very excited to start. Again, good luck to you though! If you have any other questions feel free to ask...

So did you not have to apply at all again? Just wait until the next application intake and they informed you they resent your application in??

when I did not get in the first time, I did not have to reapply per-say, but I did have to re-write the essay. Can't speak for cassie though.

Mind if I ask what kind of experience you had prior to getting in the program?? I went to UFV for 2 years for political science and geography prior to completely changing my mind to Nursing, haha, oops...

No I did not have to reapply the told me to just wait for the next intake and I got a call to do the interview again so I went to that and then a month later received the letter that told me I was accepted. I was originally doing my degree in Biology but nothing from that degree really transferred because nursing is mostly nursing specific classes but I think the post secondary experience does help!
