I had 86% Chem 11, 90% Bio 12, 84% Math 12 (accepted), 75%English 12, B Anatomy & physiology, B English 105, Certified medical laboratory technician provincially & nationally with 86% course grade, ECG interpretation certificate, histology, microbiology training. I have achieved all of this in my adult life (35-40) + worked and supported my family (except Med lab it was full time 1yr., 2011) Absolutely can not say why I didn't get accepted x 2 other than every one needs min. 3 A's +.

I have already received an email today that I was not accepted. I have 2A & 2B, over 140 volunteer hours, many reference letters, post college & diploma, excellent transcripts, previous 3 years work in hospitals for Laboratory as well as working with doctors & RN's and still did not even get an info or interview for the second time. I am not applying for a third as this is completely ridiculous. I can not keep re-doing the same courses in attempt to achieve an A. I have been told by advisers that there is now an extensive waiting list for the program and everyone needs all A's, min is 3 A's & 1 B, without that NO ONE else gets even looked at. UFV keeps promoting the program with high school students yet they can not even keep up the the # of applicants. I am a mature student who works full time, completing all of my upgrading at the same time with family, house and planning to stay and work here in the Fraser Valley and unfortunately can not get accepted at my local university (only 3 blocks away) for nursing to stay and work locally. I am applying else were having to study & drive long distance to continue to attempt my career goals hopefully before I get (tooo old. haha). With UFV's long waiting list, don't count on getting in for at least 2 years. Congrats to everyone who did get in and or invites & good luck! Cheers

Hey All I am applying again with 2A & 2B. Working on upgrading 1B to an A but I unfortunately will not may the deadline. Will see anyways. Good luck !! )

Anyone else applying for September?

Hey Everyone ) I thought that I would start a September 2017 intake thread. It is a bit early compared to other threads, but we can chat as we prepare for the deadline. What applicants are applying with and chat about the program or anxiety.

Has anyone been called for an interview yet?

Hey everyone I am glad a couple of you have found my thread. ) I hope more contribute. It would be nice to have an ongoing group accepted or not. It is always stressful and nice to have a group to chat with. I received an email of completion yesterday. Yay. Still awaiting for interview. Keeping busy to not think about it so much. Keep posting ) Cheers

Hello fellow potential UFV Nursing students. I have my application completed for Winter 2017 BSN intake and I thought that I would start a thread for open discussions, concerns and such. Some of us along with myself have been working on our applications for awhile and very excited about the application, interview process and acceptance. I will also be starting a FB group in the future for anyone who is interested in joining. Good luck everyone!
