   Ellie11 replied to LPNtoRN_'s topic in School Programs

   Hi @yoginikrista, I just scrolled back through my e-mails from last year. The breakdown wasn't very detailed and only showed a little chart saying Admission Average Rank, Supplemental Application Score Rank, and CASPer Score Rank. You were given a nu...

3. UBC BSN September 2018 Applicants

   Ellie11 replied to LPNtoRN_'s topic in School Programs

   @Daisy2016 My goodness. I decided to make the conscious decision to not think about it too much. However, as the end of April draws nearer, I am quite nervous. Been checking my e-mails constantly. I have a feeling that I won't get in, and I hope not ...

   Good luck on Monday everyone! The suspense is awful, but if it is meant to be it will be. Yes, last year I received my rejection e-mail mid-morning. Hopeful for better luck this time around!

5. Ontario Second Entry Nursing Fall 2018

   Ellie11 replied to studysleeplax's topic in CA Programs

   I did the Casper earlier this year for UBC. It wasn't too bad. Just keep it relatively simple so you can express clear ideas in the short time-frame. The scenarios are very interesting to write about! In terms of preparation, I would say just make su...

6. Ontario Second Entry Nursing Fall 2018

   Ellie11 replied to studysleeplax's topic in CA Programs

   Hi OptNurse, I did my secondary schooling in the UK, but did not need to have my credentials assessed by an external agency. The university worked my A-levels out as transfer credit. I just sent my post-secondary transcripts to the schools directly.

   Hi everyone, I am also a 2018 Nursing applicant. I am originally from England but now live in Vancouver, have a BA degree in Criminology from Simon Fraser University, but now looking to take a second degree to pursue a career in Nursing (I know....qu...

   I just received my rejection letter too. There was no mention of a waitlist. So sorry everybody, and congratulations to all those who got in. This was such a competitive process. Don't give up, it wasn't meant to be this time.

   @esm13, that is such a shame about your roommate's friend. Rejection always hurts. Did s/he receive an e-mail, or was it on their online application status? I keep checking both religiously hoping for some news. Keep hanging in there everyone! The wa...

    Ellie11 replied to tdmah's topic in School Programs

    Hi @future.RN, I live in Maple Ridge, so not too far! If I get accepted, I may move closer towards Vancouver depending on clinical placements etc. I spoke to a current BSN student at the info session in September and she said that it isn't necessary ...

    Ellie11 replied to tdmah's topic in School Programs

    Hi @wonkknow, Totally agree with some of the points you made. I don't think an online assessment replaces an in-person interview, as assessors won't be able to gauge the whole person properly. However, they have to try all options I suppose. I apolog...

    Hi @Daisy2016, they went okay thank you! One of them was slightly harder than the other but I am happy they are over now. Just got to wait for the grades to send the transcript over to UBC. It's an awful waiting game to find out if we get accepted is...

    Ellie11 replied to tdmah's topic in School Programs

    Thank you! There is a lot of info to memorize but I find that the online modules give a nice snapshot of the material. Sometimes the textbook is a bit too vague and have to look at the explanatory text on Blackboard. The second course is okay. Not su...

    Hi! I am writing both finals on Saturday. I was going to sit the BIOL 1593 final at the beginning of February but it was cancelled due to the snow in Abbotsford. It's a bit crazy that they were both scheduled on the same day but it will be good to ge...

    Ellie11 replied to tdmah's topic in School Programs

    Hi there, I agree, the application process is daunting, but I am sure if it is meant to be, it will be. From the information session I attended last September, it sounds like this is a really popular program and they are swamped with potential applic...
