Hello, I thought I would start a thread for any students who have applied for nursing at UBC Okanagan this fall 2020. I have been offered a seat! Who else is out there?

Hello, I am wondering if anyone else is applying for BCIT’s January 2021 intake? I thought I would start this thread so we could share our progress through the application process. Good luck!

I am so glad to know that the seat was not wasted! I wish you (along with everyone in this cohort) all the best!

Hey group, unfortunately I have made the difficult decision to give up my seat in the BCIT April 2021 intake. The good news is that someone off the wait list will soon be very happy! Good luck everyone! (I am still doing a BSN but have decided to att...

I tried searching for it but it’s not coming up in my results? Have you made the group searchable?

Yes, I agonized over this decision for a long time. I was offered a spot at all 8 schools I applied to, except BCIT which is still pending. Ironically, BCIT was my top choice and all the other applications were meant to be backups in case I wasn’t ac...

No updates for me yet either

Hey, yes I was put on the additional-20 waiting list in early May. I was offered a seat in VIUs program on May 19, which I declined because I accepted an offer at UBC-Okanagan instead.

I was admitted to the 3-year intake, but I’ve decided to attend UBC Okanagan. I contacted UFV yesterday and they said there’s still lots of time to offer my seat to someone on the wait list. So someone will get a happy email in the next short while ?

Congratulations! How do you know which program you were accepted into? I also applied to the 3-year program and have heard that I’m accepted, but I haven’t seen anything about it being the 3 or 4 year option?

Anyone whose been accepted to the BSN nursing program this fall (2020 intake) is welcome to join our facebook page https://www.facebook.com/groups/222042262548537/?ref=share

FYI I’ve started a facebook page for our intake https://www.facebook.com/groups/222042262548537/?ref=share

Most nursing programs these days don’t maintain a “waitlist” in the sense of being accepted into a program and waiting for a spot to open up in an upcoming intake for a future year. Most schools, like UFV, require you to reapply each intake. However,...

I got the same email. Mine also didn’t specify which intake I got into. It was a very brief email and there will obviously be more to follow as there is no information on how we complete the next steps.

Mine too! I wonder if it’s the 3-year accelerated option I was hoping for. I guess I’ll have to wait and see when they send me an acceptance letter.

I’m a mature student (early 30s) and I've been working in direct health care for the past 9 years and other related work (police victim services) for five years prior to that. I also have a previous BA degree in psychology and did a year of upgrading...

We’ll see! I am so torn as to where to attend anyways, I may not accept a seat at UFV even if it’s offered.

I haven’t heard anything yet either.

It’s hard to estimate which way would have been more advantageous, but I’m satisfied with the answers I produced. Each of my answers were around 5 sentences long (maybe 80-100 words).

I’m still torn between UFV and UBCO...it’s super hard to know what school is better. I’ve heard great things about both.

I feel good about it too. I think there were 10-12 people in my group, I’m not sure how many different groups there were?

Good luck this morning everyone!

Thanks for your reply. I’m also from Vancouver! I’m really having a difficult time picking a school. You have the runs their program in Chilliwack, so I would need to move to the Fraser Valley to attend their program because I’m not going to spend th...

Why would you choose UFV? Just curious

You are correct, I haven’t received admission from UFV, I’ve only been invited for an interview this Wednesday. Given that I’ve been offered a spot at all the schools I’ve applied for, I threw that one in the list to simplify my question LOL.
