[dubutofuzxx]

Hey guys! I just wanted to start this post for anyone applying for the 2022 cycle for UBC nursing.  Just wondering where everyone is coming from and their experiences.

Hey guys I am currently submitting my app but it says the word count needs to be 50 words on the additional learning section and 30 words for the volunteer section. But this was different in the instructions (stated 60 words; and 50 words) and what was on Canvas, do we just ignore this?

Hey Winter,

I submitted mine like two hours ago, and I noticed that the word/character limit for the title of my learning/work activity is 30 max. Could this be the problem?

Yes it was that and I also had to delete more words from 60-50 on the additional learning section! Thanks for your help :)

Hey Guys. 

Curious about what everyone's Plan B is? And how are you all playing the nursing school game?

For myself,  I have a seat at Sprott Shaw in May ( wait, wait, please read my reasons..) 

I'm old, and HS was 20+ years ago, and I didn't take any sciences; I was a history student...I don't have bio 12/chem 11, but I have physic 11 not relevant. This is my second career, I was a power engineer (building operator) before the pandemic, I have been working on pre-recs @ Athabasca since Jan 2021. Public colleges have their individual pathways, While UBC and BCIT accept my HAP course KPU, VCC, Langara and Douglas won't, BCIT I would need to take chem 11, and I feel just done, SS will accept my math/English, and HAP course and then I can go on to bridge at Athabasca...that's my story..It's more complicated cause I have serve dyslexia. SS is not happy about I feel there wouldn't have taken me on if they had known.

now you know everything, just curious where others are in this journey!

Wow thanks for sharing! I'm currently in my first term at BCIT nursing program because I got in before UBC application even opened. I still applied because I want to transfer to UBC once I get accpeted! I hope we all get accepted for this intake ?
