    julianth replied to tdmah's topic in School, College Programs

    I'm actually on pins and needles for you all. I remember all too well how I felt this time last year (and the year before). I'm truly rooting for all of you get the positive email. But, if you don't,...

    julianth replied to tdmah's topic in School, College Programs

    Just to clarify: you do practice placements the whole way through the program. The curriculum has changed slightly for 2017 applicants, but this past 2016 intake, we were in clinical by week 4 of the...

    julianth replied to tdmah's topic in School, College Programs

    It's hard to know how they calculated my GPA, as I'm not sure which classes they used as my last ten classes. This is because I only did three classes my final semester of my undergrad degree, and...

    They will only care about those last 30 credits (usually 10 courses), so don't worry about the rest of your degree. Even if you're at the bottom of the minimum for grades, you may still blow them away...

    I would really encourage newly accepted and current students to join our Facebook group "UBC Nursing Cohort 2016-2018". Allnurses is great, but at this stage, FB is a much more fluid form of...

    Hi JJ2016. My interview was just under 15 minutes because it started about a minute

    I know how you feel. Last year I pulled my car over, read the email, and then sobbed uncontrollably. But, do not lose hope. There is always next year. Your grades from this semester may boost your GPA...

    There are no guarantees for any of us who got an interview, and I know it is also a comfort to me to have my second choice. No matter what school we get into, ultimately, we all write the same test...

    I was in your situation last year with the volunteer, ubcpsychkid. None of mine was health care related (mostly mom stuff). My resume was largely management positions, and my essay told of my...

    I think Nervous In Van said it well: the system is basically biased toward singles, youth and those from more privileged backgrounds. Unfortunately, for some of us the climb is a little steeper. I...

    I sent you a PM, but not sure if you can view it. Sometimes you have to have a certain number of posts before you can use that feature. Let me know if you don't get it and we can find some other way...

    This FB group is strictly for interviewees. Those who are accepted will almost certainly form a new group and the interview FB group will be deleted after all final offers are sent out. It's sad that...
