  8. UBC BSN September 2017

    @tdmah, as money goes, you can pay the deposit and reject the position later. It does lose some money but does, literally, buy you some time! Otherwise start planning for all alternatives! must be...

    No one really works weekends in admissions I'm pretty sure. So if not in the next hour or two, next week by Fridays end we will

    @Daisy2016 and @tdmah, I hear you! I jump from notifications in my inbox and see its the forum, school, or worse, advertisements. Mini heart attacks left and

    @EtherealRailgun, thanks! I'm not sure I can do another week but I guess it'll have to get done. @tdmah, keep pushing for a strong
  19. UBC BSN September 2017

    Someone who has no fears of anything should call admissions and ask when they will be releasing the news. This is horrible waiting for this especially while still studying for final

    Thanks @tdmah and julianth! I really hope this week does come with good news. I know we have all been waiting for months already but another 2 weeks would seem excessive and "pins and needle" like!...

    @mdana93, you learn the most on the job so if anything we will catch up quick! I'm sure those who strive and want to learn will. I believe what you put in is what you'll get out, as long as the...
