UBC Nursing - Sep. 2012

[villanelle]

Hello Everyone!

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...

Should I apply at all...

(Very Worried. HELP Please!!!)

Any advice will be greatly appreciated!!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!

I graduated from UBC Nursing last year (wow, time really flies)...and I remember the agonizing wait for the interview invites...and then the agonizing wait for the offer!

Good luck guys =)

^I've admittedly read a few of your posts via the older threads (not stalking you, just following the old UBC nursing threads, lol)

my friend just got an interview!!!

[waitwait]

Still waiting here too It is basically torture also I have a ton of final papers to be focusing on but it's hard to get my mind off this! Trying to hold onto positivity!

In the same boat as you all. I am trying to read my HA&P book but I have literally only read half a page with refreshing allnurses and the student services centre and my e-mail. What sucks is that I have cleaned all that I can clean, done my taxes, and am currently laid off work, so I literally have only THIS to do to keep me busy... will probably go for a run shortly.

Errghh..

Good luck everyone! The emails are definitely going out now, as I just received my interview invite this afternoon. I'm thinking that by being a male, my chances of being accepted will be improved. What do you guys think? See some of you on the 16th!
