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! ?
I was with **** and had over 30 people. She said don’t worry if you don’t get a confirmation about your email right away because there’s 68 of you or something like that . Anyone here with ****? Because I swear I heard that but wasn’t fully paying attention ?
I also had ***** but I thought it was 86 people that were interviewed, I might have heard wrong. But I am pretty sure that only 48 people get into the fall program. Good luck to everyone ?
***** said 86 today and 48 get in. I really hate that we had to type out our answers cause personally I find I’m a better talker in person. How does everyone else think about emailing and typing out the answers?
I think speaking would have been better as some people better speakers and we already wrote the essay . How long were everyone’s answers? I am super nervous I don’t know how I’m going to wait 2.5 weeks
My answers were not long, like 3 sentences per answer. I would have preferred talking as well. However, I think I answered pretty concise and I think that could help rather then rambling on trying to fill the 3 minutes...
It’s hard to estimate which way would have been more advantageous, but I’m satisfied with the answers I produced. Each of my answers were around 5 sentences long (maybe 80-100 words).

Did one of the professors say that there was only 68? I thought it was supposed to be 90 and they take about half into the program
