Hi everyone! I am also applying to the UBC 2021 Nursing Program. I have a B+ average in the last 30 credits of my undergraduate degree in psychology. I received an A- in the anatomy and physiology course. My previous work experience includes bei...

Hello @Tanner Allen! When you deferred last year did you still book your mask fitting, criminal record check and immunization? I got an email saying I need to do these to secure my seat.

Aw yes! I am torn between fitness training and nursing. However, I was thinking if I was an RN I could potentially work in fitness nursing as well, and possibly do personal training on the side? Very interested in neonatal nursing, ICU and psychiatry...

Aw this is so nice! I confirmed my offer but may defer for next year. Feeling stuck right now- would love to meet you lovey ladies!

Does any one know if working part-time is possible during program, even 8 hours a week? - let me know ?

Hey @mb96 ! Sounds like working on the self is important before going into this intense program but it's exciting to start something new at the same time. I was initially rejected in May and was 57 on the waitlist; I thought for sure I would not get ...

I just received admission today but UBC declined my application in May. Are you able to defer the program until September 2020?

Hi everyone I just got notice I am number 5 on the reserve list; when did everyone have to confirm by? Thank you:)

I feel like UBCs grading system is subjective. I thought that if you got 1’s across the board you get accepted but even if you have a 3 in an area you can be waitlisted.

I am number 58 on the reserve list with a 2 across the board! So happy to even be on there:) will probably get in next year!

The admission average a couple years ago was 80%, grades ranging from 70%-90%. So people with 70% can be accepted especially if they have a stellar supplemental!

My GPA is a 3.6 so a (2) I have 3 years of paid Work Experience in healthcare, volunteering, and a Bachelors Degree so a (1) for supplemental. Casper- maybe a (2) or (3).

Yes - no admission offers will be out until end of this week!

Yes looks like within two weeks we will have our answers ? and then we can plan our lives from there!

Last year I got my rejection letter from UBC nursing on May 7!

I believe if one was rejected then they wouldn’t change that. Maybe they put up to 50 people on the wait list? What do you think ?

Yes I was brainstorming what the perfect candidate would be! Who they choose also depends on who applies but here’s an example of how I think it works: If someone has a B average but then years of healthcare experience, they would be chosen over some...

Wow you have a great application! You will definitely be up there in the candidates they choose ?

The cut off is December 2018 for grades that would count towards your 2019 application.

The cut off would be December 2018 for grades.

No updates in extracurriculars really. I have a new job in counselling with adolescents and before that I was working in a clinic and gave out medications to patients so maybe those two experiences will help.

My GPA was a 3.33/4.33 when I submitted my application last year.

It’s on a 4.33 scale so a high B+!

They will not let you know why you didn’t get in. They mark your grades, supplemental, and Casper task from 1-4 1 being top 25%. I received a 3 in all.
