Hey all and congrats to getting accepted at OC! I currently just finished my first year at UBCO (applied right out of highschool). If you have any questions, feel free to ask or message me!

Hey! I don't know the exact average unfortunately, but the UBC admissions website says mid to high 80's (which accurate, although not specific). I got admitted this fall 2016 with about the same average as yours, so as long as you have a good personal profile, you'll probably get in! Good luck, and let me know if you have any questions

Hopefully! Wow you're grades are great!

Hi! I'm still on the waitlist, waiting for a decision that should come around before June 15. Are you a high school student? If you don't mind me asking, what was your admission average?

Hey there! I am a grade 12 student from BC that applied to the nursing program at UBC Okanagan. I've recently been waitlisted with a 84.25% average and a pretty well done personal profile. My updated marks in May will be higher though. Any other applicants out there? Feel free to share your marks/any insightful news :)

yeah! just look me up at Roaa Ramadan, and I'm the girl taking her grad picture

um yeah so I just got off the phone with them. They told me the admission average at the moment is at an 85%, and with my current average, they can't offer me yet. They said I'll have to wait until new marks come in from the second semester. I asked if I could still get in with around the same mark even after the second semester, and they said that depends on the scale; so like the averages of the pool of applicants, if they are lower, then they can move the average lower, etc. I feel so ughh at myself right now because I was so close to hitting the mark, and now I have to wait until much later to see if I get in. I don't even know if I will, because I quite frankly suck at pre calculus and I'm decent with chemistry.

yeah get to it quickly! Yeah I've been told that, but I've also been told you can still apply and there's a lottery system to determine who gets a room there. I'm guessing if you'd apply to live in the nursing cohort, you'd get a solid spot there. by the way, were you given an unconditional offer? I'm currently waiting on hold for an advisor. I'm going to check to see if I can still get an offer with my current average.

Okay, I feel a little better about it now lol. Yeah they did reject me first, they said they couldn't offer me admission because of my current average and that they will re evaluate me when they get more marks. Hopefully inshallah it will work out. Btw have you applied to residence? I did a while back, and recently I got an email about their new nursing cohort! I applied for their single room w/ private bathroom, and the cohort happens to be in the same area (Schaffer hall?) as those rooms.

Currently, 84.25 %. I have yet to complete pre calculus 12, chem 12, and the humanities option (social justice). Hoping that at least the math and sj will bring me up, but I'll have to wait until the end of the school year... It's almost at the 85%, but I wonder if I could still get it with this average..

I don't know what I can do right now, but I really just want to do something that can forward my application

Oh wow, congratulations!! Unfortunately nothing yet what was you're average? And were you just emailing/calling to check your status?

Nope, no updates yet a couple weeks back I put in my final bio grades.. But no update yet. You?

ohhh I see. Well its good that worked out... I just finished bio and eng 12 but I'm waiting on my eng provincial exam mark to release on my transcript and blend my in class mark. I'm planning to update my marks on my application as soon as my transcipt updates. What number did you call?

Any update?

" Darn you pre-calc 11 mark! If it weren't for that grade, I would've been a solid 86% in grade 11 courses. Looks like I'll have to wait and see if I can get acceptance with a couple grade 12 courses I've just completed.
