I am currently in the process of applying to UFV's BSN program for the Fall 2020 intake and figured I would create a new post where those of us applying for the Fall 2020 intake can share/help each other out with the application/admission process. Anything from discussing GPA for pre-reqs, volunteer/work experience, etc. A little bit about me - I am just about finished my HSCI degree from SFU but took this semester off to retake some of the high school pre-reqs (Chem 11, Bio 12, Math 12). I did fairly well in these classes during high school but figured I could retake them again and see if I do any better.
As far as my healthcare related experience goes, I have been volunteering at a seniors home for 6 years now, and was recently hired by the same seniors home to work as a recreation aide. I also worked as a recreation aide at another seniors Independent Living/Complex Care facility for about 1.5 years. I also spent a year volunteering at a high intensity rehab unit where I helped the OT facilitate various exercise groups (this was during a time where I was still unsure between OT and nursing).
I'm hoping to complete my high school pre reqs by the beginning of January so that I can make the January 31 deadline. This will be my first time applying to UFV or any nursing program for that matter.
Hopefully this forum can be a place where us prospective UFV BSN students can help each other throughout the application/admission process and give each other pointers! Best of luck everyone! ?
Hey everyone! My name is Michelle Zacharuk & I just want to CONGRATS to everyone who has been accepted! I have also been accepted into the 3 years BSN program starting in the Fall 2020! It's been such a whirlwind as I've been applying to UFV for a while, this being my fourth time LOL!!
I just requested to be apart of the facebook group - thank you for creating this and the FB page ?
I was admitted to the 3-year intake, but I’ve decided to attend UBC Okanagan. I contacted UFV yesterday and they said there’s still lots of time to offer my seat to someone on the wait list. So someone will get a happy email in the next short while ?

I have a friend on the waitlist. Hope they get it!

Good for you getting in. 4th time? WOW!. Was there a waitlist that long or why did it take so long?
I've applied for January but now keep hearing how many years people are waiting to get into UFV. Not encouraging...
Don’t feel discouraged at all! This was my first time applying and I managed to get accepted. If you go to the UFV website it explains their admittance process a bit more and how it is all points based ?

Right. Heavy emphasis on pre reqs. We’re you in with straight A?
Nope, I have an A+, two A’s and a B+. I do have two years work experience as a care aide in a long term care and acute setting though so I think that helped with my not so good grades

That’s awesome. Well done. Feeling better to hear that.
Wondering if any one in this forum can give me any tips on the essay. Writing essays is not my strong suit and I’m freaking out as I have to do the admission essay next week

Not quite positive, if you email health studies they should be able to tell you ?
