Now that I think of it, maybe my supplemental could be rated a 2?? But I also really have NO idea how they are going to rate this either.

I have 5 years of paid healthcare experience, volunteer healthcare experience, experience living abroad in two countries, teaching experience, experience working in a regulated profession according to a code of ethics, a diploma, and two years of university credits from SFU and UBC.

I am really overthinking things and going crazy haha. If we don't hear back in the next two days, i'm pretty sure i'm going to lose it ?

Overthinking is normal LOL. (That's an amazing supplemental, by the way!!) Best of luck!

Since you’re a Canadian citizen living in the US, I definitely think you have nothing to worry about!

All this waiting is killing me ??

Congrats to those who got into their Nursing programs at other Canadian universities!!! Sadly, attending McMaster/anything outside BC isn’t economically/financially feasible for me (I continue to live with my family due to skyrocketing costs of living), so UBC and Langara 2020 are my primary Nursing choices (perhaps even Douglas or KPU).

I'm with you on this one - I can only attend a Nursing program in Vancouver due to finances too!

I’m fortunate enough that my entire family lives in toronto, so i’d be moving back home haha. Not sure how well that’s going to go seeing as i haven’t lived at home for over 5 years!

My last 30 credits/10 courses i have a 4.33/4.33 i think? It’s a 90.4 so just made the cutoff according to the arts undergrad gpa conversion chart lol. So i would assume 1? Unless they take into account my prereqs (did poorly in physiology because i took it when i didn’t plan on going back to school haha). Supplemental... i wanna say 2-3. As for casper, i THINK i did well since i had to submit my results to mcmaster and got in there the first round of acceptances. So 1-2? Who knows..

My anxiety has plummeted astronomically since getting into mcmaster, and even more so when i got accepted to uoft lol. I honestly didn’t think I was going to get into anywhere let alone #1 in canada (according to macleans), but i’ve been 3/4 so far, just waiting for ubc. It just goes to show that even if you’re feeling extremely doubtful, things can go the way you want them to! Even if i don’t get accepted to ubc, my backup plan doesn’t seem too shabby. If this year doesn’t work out for you, keep trying!! If it’s meant to be, it will be (cue music lol).



I totally agree with you! After I got accepted into UofT early last week a huge weight was lifted off of my chest. I've barely been checking SCS since then, and I used to check an embarrassing amount of times each day. It was the best feeling ever, like that feeling of accomplishment after you worked so hard is priceless. I hope a lot of you get to experience that this week! ?

According to the website, the SSC and applicant portal will be down for maintenance from 6PM-12AM, so we wont be able to stalk our applications! (probably a good thing! haha)
