NP Program UBC/UVIC

Published

I'm not sure if a forum has already been started for applicants for the September 2021 intake but I'm here to kick it off. Is anyone else biting their nails hoping for an interview with UBC or UVIC?

I believe for UBC , they only use 3rd and 4th year courses to calculate GPA. I just had my interview with UBC this morning, and was told they are still interviewing applicants this week and next week. They will be releasing final results 3rd week of March. Hope this helps.

Yah, that’s right, 3/4th year and if you have any post graduate speciality. 
 

Keep the questions going! Best of luck to all applicants!

It seems like it’s getting more competitive every year. Tbh I’d think about applying for other distance ED programs if you really want your NP. You would think straight As would be enough

My friend applied for her second time as well and didn't get an interview. Her GPA was around 88 with 5 years of experience in CCU. Youre right it is getting harder

Does anyone have ant idea how UBC factors in statement of interest, references and CV?

I know that your references will rate you in addition to their letter, I think you need an “excellent” from all three, meet the GPA retirement and also knock the letter of intent out of the park.

Straight A’s are not enough...

Keep an eye out for Athabasca opening up their program to BC candidates and for a new TRU program coming down the pipeline. 
 

Additionally, from what I heard, COVID has inspired programs to increase seating for next year - bringing promise to unsuccessful candidates.
