I am currently in the ubc np program. I personally worked on my application for a year prior to applying. I planned to apply before even starting nursing school. I don't think there is one aspect of the application that is weighed more. Strong references, and a great supplemental essay in my opinion I think are important. There is a wide variety of students in the program, with varied work experiences. Some applied more than once and got in on their second attempt.

I do not know the exact odds of getting in, they do not release how many people apply, I was just told "a lot of people apply".

In terms of the application process, you do your online application and then if selected you do an interview.

I personally had 2 years of full time emergency experience, BSc (Kin), BSN and BCIT Emergency certificate. GPA 3.7 from top 30 credits from my BSN.

Hope that helps!

I got a call on Friday and I applied a few days before the deadline. My GPA is 3.89. Also, I think the person mentioned they just started calling for interviews. I was at work, so didn't talk much about the interview schedule. We planned to discuss that on Monday.

All the best to you.

Hi there,

I want to connect with you regarding the program structure and interview process.

Thanks

hey! congrats on interview. My advice would be to know what an NP is, scope of practice, etc. Read up on BC NP policy. Other questions were like regular interview questions as far as I remember, i.e. give an example of a leadership, conflict resolution etc.
