I scored 2’s on GPA and CASPer, 3 on supplementary. Was #34 on waitlist and got in. I think I scored low on supplementary because I didn’t have any nurse-adjacent experience. If I didn’t get in this year, I already contemplated the preparation I would have done to get in next year: First aid/hospital volunteering, and “San’yas anti-racism indigenous cultural safety training program” (because there was a significant section on systemic racism in this application) 

Also, this site helped me (although some supplementary info might be outdated) https://sites.Google.com/view/ubcnursingadmissiontips/home

Good luck!!

Good luck!! 

I actually did all of those things (first aid, I volunteer at Children’s, and completed numerous cultural safety and Indigenous awareness courses and I didn’t even make the waitlist. I think they pulled names from a hat this year. Congrats on getting in though!

GPA - 2 

Supplementary - 3

Casper - 3

I honestly think when people have around the same stats it’s luck of the draw in what number you get as I saw others with 2,3,3 and they had a high 70-80s spot. I’m surprised I got a 2 in GPA as I had a 96% average in my last 30 credits but there’s a lot of smart applicants this year! For life experience aside from my BSc. I worked for 3 years in a seniors home as a rec therapist, volunteered in various hospital departments + care facilities over the last 5 years and was in a lot of university clubs - I also focused a lot on indigenous health populations and did a research proposal on HPV vaccinations in rural communities. 

Good luck next year! You got this!

Hi, can you give me your contact so I can privately msg you? I can't seem to privately msg on allnurses. 

Hi, I was wondering if I could ask you some questions on nursing at BCIT? ?
