Hello readers. Just curious if there is anyone out there whom is or has officially applied for the 2021 January intake for the BSN program @ UFV and what your experience has been thus far?
Me, I am working hard at my upgrades. I never thought I would be in my mid 30s and going back to Bio 12 and Chem 11 but here I am. I am working feverishly to get my classes done before Aug 15 as that is the last day your transcript has to be updated to meet the prerequisite requirements. I did and still do find this whole process overwhelming. When I met with the advisor at UFV she told me: English 12, Bio 12, Chem 11, and Math 11, come in with straight A's. I initially kind of thought, really??? Maybe I still do. I had a B+ in English 12. She recommended to pull that up to an A. So I am doing Chem 083 through UFV and Bio(now called Anatomy and Physiology) through online school district. I would be curious to hear if anyone else out there is considering or has applied and how your venture has been so far.

did you already have your immunization records, crim check, first aid etc sent to them?
During the interview they said they will be sending out a package for these paperwork! (At least the background and immunization, I think you may also need a doctors letter stating you are fit to practice)
for those that didn’t see, here’s a group I created to connect with people who are the program for January. If you know anyone got in that hadn’t seen this message, please invite them to the group.
For those of you that were applying for the second or third time after not getting accepted, did you upgrade or change anything when you reapplied, or just kept trying?? I’d love some advice?
I focused less on structure / grammar for the written interview questions, as opposed to what I did last time. I think that made it easier to convey my personality, as well as give more detailed answers. If you email health studies, they will usually give you some feedback as to where to focus your energy.
This was my second time applying and this time I had 30 more volunteer hours, an additional reference letter, and really tried hard to elaborate and include more personal details in my interview answers. I'm not sure exactly what made a difference, but I would imagine they also have an idea of who has applied before and that showing perseverance helps as well.
