    Gymah replied to lbadaura's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Thanks For offering to answer our questions! I love how welcoming and encouraging everyone on here is. I'm still on the waitlist, but I really hope I get accepted just so I can meet all of you. it...

    Gymah replied to lbadaura's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    For people on the lower half of the waitlist, are you going to go somewhere else/ accept another offer (if you got one) or are you going to wait and hope UBC offers you a seat? I didn't apply...

    Wow, what a difference in the waitlist! I'm glad that you're going to get in this year

    1 in grades, 2 in supplemental, and 3 in Casper. I thought I did well on Casper, but apparently it wasn't the greatest

  5. UBC 2021

    Gymah replied to lbadaura's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    That would be stressful to get an offer in September! (just thinking about everything there would be to get ready...) For those already accepted, what are the post-admission requirements like? Do...

    Gymah replied to lbadaura's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    I know that UBC said they won't send those of us on the waitlist updates on whether our position has changed, but does anyone who was waitlisted before know if we're able to email them and ask if...

    Gymah replied to lbadaura's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Congratulations to everyone who got accepted! ? I got waitlisted for mid 30's, so there may be a chance I'll still get in. Does anyone know how long it could be until they stop offering seats to...

    Gymah replied to lbadaura's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    I would be a bit surprised if we heard from UBC today given how many applications they received. I think it'll probably be sometime next week before we know

  9. UBC 2021

    Gymah replied to lbadaura's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    It is a shame that UBC (and other nursing schools) don't open up more seats for students. With the nursing staff shortage I'm sure we would all find jobs once we graduated. Everyone here sounds like...

    This is what I'm hoping

  11. UBC 2021

    Gymah replied to lbadaura's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    For the scores (it's 1-4?), is the lower number better, or the higher? I forget. I tried to quickly find it on the UBC website but didn't find

  12. UBC 2021

    Gymah replied to lbadaura's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Does UBC require a certain colour/ brand for scrubs/ shoes in the clinicals? I currently work in healthcare and need to buy some more scrubs and shoes, and I might as well pick ones that would work...

    Gymah replied to lbadaura's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    That's great you got accepted into BCIT! What were your stats, if you don't mind sharing? I unfortunately didn't take any Chemistry in highschool or university (I had more of an interest in...

  14. UBC 2021

    Gymah replied to lbadaura's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Aww, thank you! That makes me feel a bit better. I've still been looking into alternative careers in case I don't get in though ? So far, respiratory therapy and sonography are runners

  15. UBC 2021

    Gymah replied to lbadaura's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Does anyone have a back up plan if you don't get in this term? Will you just keep applying, or look into a different career altogether? I feel pretty confident about my application, but the...

  16. UBC 2021

    Gymah replied to lbadaura's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Did anyone apply to any schools other than UBC this term? I'm only applying to UBC. I unfortunately didn't take any Chemistry courses in highschool or my undergrad (I was planning on going into a...

    UBC just sent out an email saying that they've gotten a high amount of applicants - 800 so

    Gymah replied to lbadaura's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    I've submitted my supplemental application! Now with that sent, my Casper done, and my transcripts received, all I have to do is wait

    Gymah replied to lbadaura's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    I just practiced my typing speed and took the prep test on the Casper website. The real one was pretty similar to it. My typing speed is around 60wpm and I was able to write 3-5 sentences per

    Gymah replied to lbadaura's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Wrote my Casper today! It wasn't as bad as I was expecting. I'm feeling hopefully optimistic about it. Does anyone here still have to take

  21. UBC 2021

    Gymah replied to lbadaura's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    After you had done the Casper, did you feel optimistic about it or did you have an inkling that it could have gone better? Did you do anything this year to prepare for taking it again? I've heard that...

  22. UBC 2021

    Gymah replied to lbadaura's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    For the last set of questions on the supplemental application (the ones on Indigenous people's rights), I assume the answer is supposed to be entirely off the top of your head? I am able to answer the...

    Gymah replied to lbadaura's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    For people who applied last year but didn't get in, what (if anything) have you changed in your application/ experiences for this

  24. UBC 2021

    Gymah replied to lbadaura's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    I'm almost finished my supplemental application, but I'm so nervous to send it in! I'll keep going over it for a couple more weeks before I submit it. Good luck to everyone else still writing

  25. UBC 2021

    Gymah replied to lbadaura's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Does anyone know if there is a word max for the second question on the supplemental application, the one about relevant experiences that relate to the interest in becoming a nurse? It doesn't look...
