UBC 2022 Nursing

Published

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.

What!? They are already sending out emails?

This is probably just a partial file review, they usually go through all the applications first to make sure all the admission criteria are met. I would assume people who don’t meet the admission cut-off, don’t have eligible degrees etc. get declined before they do thorough reviews

Hi everyone, I read through everything before deciding to leave a comment. One thing that made me laugh were the two people who said they felt “old” because they graduated high school 20 years ago—10 years AFTER I did! Yes, I’m 46, have been a professional editor since 1998, and am making a big career change. I received my MFA in Creative Writing from UBC in 2012, after originally entering the program in 2006. I was diagnosed with Stage III Triple Negative Breast Cancer the Summer after I completed my first year of course work. I had to take a year of medical leave. This began my training as a professional patient and armchair researcher. I’m finally able-bodied and better, for which I’m grateful everyday. I want to become a nurse practitioner and perhaps open my own clinic for patients suffering from chronic illnesses.

Hi there,  I had a similar reaction to those posts, since I'm really "old" too!  (45) ?.  It's scary yet exciting to pursue a big career change at this point in life!   Best of luck to you my dear!  Hope we both get in so we can reminisce about the '80s together haha✨

Wow this is very inspiring! Just wanted to say that you can never be too "old" to pursue what you are passionate about! I have been working for the past 7 years, and am both anxious and excited to be going back to school.

Has anyone's application status changed yet, mine still says "ready for an evaluation" - please post if anyone has a different message on theirs?  I'm checking mine a few times a day ?

Hi CocoB55! 

My application status just changed yesterday to "your application is currently being reviewed by the Faculty/School". I am sure your status will change soon too. Good luck!

Hi!

Mine just switched to being reviewed by the faculty/school a few days ago. I think it’s probably just an automatic change to when they open your supplemental or some other part of your application - I don’t think it matters at all when it changes though.

I am also checking the SSC way too much. Hopefully the earlier supplemental deadline might mean earlier decision making?

Hey! Is anyone here a current or past UBC student?

Mine says "Your application is currently being reviewed by the Faculty/School." My guess is they've received so many applications this year, that it will take a while for everyone's application to change status.

I graduated from UBC a few years ago! Really hoping I get into the program for this fall.
