I am not entirely certain, but when I called the advisors, she explained that it is a process where they look at applications as they come in instead of piling them up until the deadline to compare applicants. Although this is not a first-come-first-served basis, I still feel like my chances of getting in are slim now because I still haven't handed in my application.. So I was wondering if you guys have any experience with this! 

Hi friend! I think they do look at the applications as we submit them since it will take them too long to look at them after the deadline. However, they look at every single application as long as you meet the deadline. They will not give the people who submitted early a better chance.

Oh interesting. Last year, I applied on the very last day and I was placed low on the waitlist but I saw that someone with the same rank as me got placed very high on the waitlist and gotten in so maybe that had something to do with it! I am not sure how the process works.

Ah okay! That makes sense and thank you for responding! I will submit as soon as I can ?

Oh no.. yeah I wonder if that is why.. Goodluck getting in this year! And thank you for responding! 

Hi everyone! 
 

I had just taken the CASPer on the 11th and it says on the website that it can take 2-3 weeks to send the result to your selected institutions! ? I hope the results come in time. Did anyone else just take their CASPer on Feb 11? 

Approximately how much time did you guys spend on writing your supplemental application?

Hey! I took the CASPer that date too :)

I think as long as you did one of the tests that CASPer opened for UBC nursing it shouldn't matter when the results get sent in.

The last acceptable time slot for UBC was February 11, 5:00 PM (PST), which was the time slot that I chose ? This was stated in the official CASPer site as well as in an email sent by UBC. Don't worry about it ?

I started late December, still working on it.

Hi there! I also took on on Feb11th~ I think it is okay because otherwise the CASPer website wouldn't allow us to register for that date if they can't send it in on time. 

For the section about 'additional learning and accomplishments', how many words/characters did you all write? There's no word limit but from the canvas BSN information centre I just noticed they said to limit your response to a maximum of 300 characters?? Do you think I'll get penalized for writing more than this?

I think the form might automatically cut your response (that was what was stated on Canvas). I made sure that mind is maximum 300 characters ?

I have a question though (since I don't have access to Canvas)... Was that answer provided by UBC? Or was it answered by a student or something? ?
