UBC nursing application 2011

hart16 · Mar 25, 2011

I am NOT a UBC student, in fact, although I am a born-and-raised Vancouverite, I did my schooling, B.Sc. and M.Sc. in the USA. I was pretty worried about how much weight my degrees would hold, as I have learned that Canadian- and B.C.-educated students are highly favored.

Hi everyone,

I am a third year student from SFU and I got my invitation for the interview as well. From what I heard from my advisor, the bulk of the weight for your application comes from the interview and the supplemental (she said gpa is important but the others aspects of the application process with make you "stand out") . Does anyone know how many applicants they interview??? Good luck to everyone:)

I am still waiting and I haven't gotten an email today from UBC :confused: ...Is today really the last day that they are sending out invitations?

When I called UBC admissions I didn't talk to the woman that was sending out invitations I talked to the admissions advisor. She said that she was told by the woman sending out the invitations that everyone would be notified by today but take this with a grain of salt as it is not direct information from the woman in sending the invitations. She said that if we did not hear any news today that we should contact admissions at the email address that I posted earlier. Hope this helps.

It may be worth checking the email address you gave them, if you go into your CWL and click on contact summary, at the bottom it should say the email address you gave them, maybe its typed incorrectly or gone to the junk box - mine did!

Really hope you get an answer soon

I'm in 2nd year from UBC and I haven't gotten my rejection/acceptance email yet =(

I hope they get it done by today because if I am to get rejected, I would prefer to hear it over email rather than phone.

But fingers crossed! Good luck to those still anxiously waiting by the computer!

imsecretlyonyourside, it must be very difficult for you to wait knowing that some people already received their invitations, but do not just dive up! In fact, never give up! It is not over yet, and you will get your reply by e-mail (hopefully positive one!) in any case!

*Crossing fingers*

thanks for the positivity!

and it is definitely a difficult wait. must have checked my email at least 10 times today already =p

imsecretlyonyourside, I checked in with the lady who is sending the invitations out and she said "today is not the last day for sending the invitation emails". She said its an on going process and you can even get an email on April 14th which is one day before the last interview date. I feel like I cant breath till april 15th because this is so stupid for making the rest of us wait like this. :/ Anyway that being said I hope this is a beam of light of the ones who got disappointed by not getting the email today. ITS NOT OVER YET lol

Just checking in to say that I'm still waiting to hear as well.

And, not that it seems to make a difference, but I'm a UBC Alumni (BA) and my last name starts with S :)

I'm starting to get a little nervous at the idea of having so little time to prepare for an interview, if I'm offered one. I suppose at this point it would be best to simply assume I do and start preparing anyway.
