Thank you so much for sharing your experience! It makes me feel a lot better and less stressed about it when I know someone has been the same situation and now got into the ideal nursing school! A big congrats to you! And yeah for sure I will start listing out the pros and cons and think about it! I was really worried about graduating later than my friends, but what you said made me start to think a bit differently. Anyways thank you so much and wish you the best journey at UBCV nursing! Hey guys, just wondering what’s you opinions on UBCV Nursing vs. UBCO Nursing? Other than UBCV offers an accelerated program, what other pros and cons do you guys think? I think this will really help me to make my decisions, thank you!

Yeah, you are right, finish my degree would be a great accomplishment because I'm three years in this program and so close to graduation. But also I know that nursing is something that I want to do, not nutrition. So I was thinking is it really worth it for me to spend another year in my current degree while paying the international tuition and studying something that I no longer find myself have a passion for? Being an international student just worries me if I will be able to get accepted even if I improve my application next year because I know it's really competitive at UBCV.

Hey guys. This might be totally unrelated but I have been kind of debating on what to do. I just finished my third year at UBC in food nutrition and health. I have applied to both UBCV and UBCO nursing. And I received the offer from UBCO and not from UBCV. I have been thinking if I should take the offer and go to UBCO for another 4 years of undergrad or I should finish my FNH degree first (which is next year), and try UBCV BSN again. I have talked to my friends and family and have received very divided opinions. I wanted to go to UBCV for nursing because it offers a 2 year accelerated program and it's close to my family and friends. Part of me wants to finish my current degree and apply for UBCV BSN next year, however, because I am international I'm not sure if I will be able to get in. So I'm really debated on where should I go. If I go to UBCO, that will be another 4 years of undergrad and graduate in 2026, if I choose to stay in Vancouver, I will finish my degree in 2022 and if I get accepted into UBCV BSN next year, I will graduate in 2025. I'm really hoping and would appreciate hearing your opinions!! And just wanna say CONGRATULATIONS to all those who got into UBCV this year! You guys did an awesome job and wish you all the best in your journey at UBC. And for the people still on the waitlist, don't give up!! I hope all of you can achieve what you want to do!
