Kwantlen's BSN Post-Baccalaureate Program september 2015 intake?

Npara · May 2, 2015

I got an offer with conditions and I called and they said the conditions are usually fees to pay then the status will change to admitted (if you have all the prereqs that is!)

Npara, thanks for clarifying that :)

The admissions lady said they'll be sending out the letters hopefully by mid may and the deposit amount is on the letter (according to kwantlen site)

I know some people have already heard back and been accepted to the BSN PB, but I hadn't heard anything (probably because I just finished my second part of A & P three weeks ago). But it is not hopeless yetâ€¦ I just spoke with Pam and she said acceptance letters will go out beginning of June. She apologized that they are kind of behind right now. She said the fastest way to know about acceptance is to keep checking online using your student number, as it will change there first (right now, it should say "under review" if you have completed all requirements).

I also haven't heard anything from Kwantlen. The online service centre still shows my application as "under review".

However, I just got accepted to UBC's nursing program, and as it was my first choice, I will be turning down Kwantlen's offer if I receive one.

Best of luck to everyone!

My status is still 'under review'.

Let's hope we start to hear from them soon! The anticipation is killing me!

To those who have already been accepted, when did you apply?

I know what you mean koko302. I keep checking to see if my status has changed about three or four times a day! It could be another two weeks before we know. I'm thinking that those who were accepted already are the ones who had all requirements met by the March 31st cut off. I was not finished my A&P until mid April, so I think that puts me in the second (or third) round of acceptances (after those who decline their offers allow for more seats to become available). I have basically been told if I don't get in this year, next year should not be an issue, since it's first come, first served.

I made the trip to Vancouver last Friday and had an appointment with the UBC advisor who told me the Kwantlen program is just as good a program as the UBC one, but KPU gets more government funding, and therefore has newer and nicer sim labs. After having a little tour of the UBC classrooms and labs, I then went to the KPU Langley campus to check out the facilities and was really impressed. The UBC advisor said that although their program is only 20 months, while KPU is 27, it's simply because the UBC program has been denied by the government to have theirs extended to 24 months. She said something to the effect that because they are turning out good nurses in only 20 months the govt sees no reason to make the program longer. This means students are under a lot of pressure to absorb everything in a shorter period of time. So basically, KPU just allows more time to learn the same information, and has less challenges when it comes to equipment, technology, space, etc. I was really glad I went.

i applied in jan.. is there a fb group for those accepted?

julianth · May 22, 2015

I applied on Nov. 5; but that date only matters when you have all your prerequs complete. Otherwise, it's the date you completed all requirements.

I haven't seen anything anywhere of anyone saying they got an acceptance.

Npara · May 22, 2015

i got accepted. I got a letter in the mail and the status changed online too.

julianth · May 22, 2015

Sorry. I just read your post on the previous page. Congrats! You obviously had all your prerequs complete by the Mar. 31st cutoff then. When did your status change (assuming that happened before the letter arrived)?

Npara · May 22, 2015

Thank you, yes I had all the requirements. I think i saw may 1st for the acceptance. By the way, the deadline for deposit is june 1st. So I think you should be hearing soon...

julianth · May 22, 2015

Interesting Npara. That must be why they said I would hear back by beginning of June. Thanks for the extra info.
