I am considering applying to UBC Nursing for the September 2012 intake... but I'm not quite sure if I'm eligible to apply...
My primary concern is my post-secondary credits... everyone seems to have already completed a Bachelor's before applying? As of now, I have 40+ credits... by the end of June 2010 I'll have 50+ credits (which is the deadline for all transcripts), but they're a combination of first-year science, calculus and language courses with only a couple of second year o-chem... would that be ok?
I am currently a Langara student, but I have studied at SFU before until my relocation.
I've also read on the website that the average age of applicants were 21-47 (please don't quote me on this, I can't remember the exact range)... and I'm now 18 (will soon turn 19 though), but I have the requirements it's just that I'm unsure if it's alright that my 50+ credits are mostly first-year...
My GPA now is 3.3 and hoping to boost it up after this semester...
I volunteer regularly at a senior home and am a certified lifeguard and swimming instructor, worked part-time at Timmys until relocation and now have a part-time job at a local grocery store... I just hope age isn't that big of a deal because I know what I want and I'm working for it...
Hi, I haven't checked for a few days. I am still finishing my final exam. I am doing it by distance so the invigilation centre was only able to take me later this month. I have written to the school I am taking it from and also UBC but still waiting to hear back from both.

Which school are you doing it with and are you in the lower mainland? I did mine with Athabasca and the exams are now done on the computer so you can book the exam pretty quickly. I've always written my exams at BCIT burnaby and have never had a problem with booking exams right away. Hope it works out.
Would anyone be interested in starting/joining a facebook group for our cohort? Maybe we can organize a meet and greet before orientation so that we can get to know a few people before classes start.

Absolutely! It'd be great to put faces and names to you all

Alright ladies and gents. Search for "UBC Nursing 2012-2014 Cohort". The group should be publically viewable, but let me know if there are any problems finding it. This is my first time creating a group. Please "join" the group (if interested).
Would love for out group to grow. I would be happy to organize a meet and greet via facebook in early August before orientation, after most offers are out.
I'm in too, though I found out last week. I've been following this thread for AGES, ever since I decided to apply in the first place, but only now registered. I'm pretty stoked!
I guess I'm starting this program in 2013!
