UBC 2020 Nursing

Riverside · Feb 1, 2020

Hello all! I submitted my supplemental application this morning and a huge weight just left my shoulders. Good luck to everybody who still has to do CASPer and let's all keep our spirits high as we play the waiting game! ?

Edit: Oh forgot to mention that this is my first time applying! Acceptance or rejection, I'm going to roll with it!

Yay! Feels so good to have it in and not worry about it anymore. I'm thinking of moving my CASPer up just so I can end the stress sooner, it really is the worst test ever ? Good luck, you've got this!!

Good luck to you too! ? Don't worry, once you get into the zone, you'll be flying through the questions.

Ah, I wrote it for a different program and I felt like it went terribly! Hopefully this one is different ?

Hi Everyone,

I have submitted my application and recently completed my CASper test. Anyone have an idea when admission offer will go out?

Also, does anyone know schools still accepting application for the accelerated program because I only applied to UBC☹️

How are you finding the program so far? ? If you're okay with it, could you share some of the stats you applied with? If not, that's totally cool!

I applied having earned a previous Bachelors, graduating in May 2019 from UBC and 9X% in last 30 credits (can't remember, sorry). I couldn't tell you where I stood with my supplemental application or CASPer because I was directly admitted so I didn't receive those stats from the SON.

My cohort is amazing - super supportive and encouraging! BUT... Not going to sugar coat it... The program itself is disorganized and a logistical nightmare (e.g., clinical placements, lab times, receiving references/confirmations from the school, fees that weren't explicit, etc.). However, I wouldn't want to spend another 3+ years doing a bachelors so I find this is the quickest way out!

Thanks for the comments @buddyy.

Could I please ask how the clinical placements and lab times are disorganized?

Hey guys,

How did casper go? I didn't feel too good about the first 2-3 questions but got the hang of it a bit later. I got accepted into my second program yesterday and my status changed to "currently being reviewed" for nursing! roughly 60 days left till we find out!!
