I am planning on applying for UFV Nursing program and thought I should start a thread for everyone applying to get together and discuss any issues/concerns.
I am not a straight A student, or a straight B. In fact, most of my marks consist of B's and C+'s unfortunately, but I still plan on applying after speaking to a counsellor at UFV.
I have well over 150 hours of volunteering in two different hospitals and old-folk homes. I've volunteered at Children's Hospital for 8 months and RCH for the past year and a half (I love it!-- consider volunteering there, I've currently taken it upon myself to explore the hospital and all it has to offer. The opportunities for learning are endless and the staff is pretty wonderful). The old-folks home was with the Salvation Army, also a great place.
I have most everything they ask for & more, but lack the straight A's that people in previous threads say they have applied with. Like anyone else in my position, the grades worry me. For some schools (ex, BCIT or UofC) , they only look at the last 30 credits for a GPA count. Does anyone know the process at UFV?
I've applied at BCIT a couple of times and plan on doing so again, but thought I should broaden my horizon. BCIT has a fairly different system than UFV and it has been my target school for the past 1.5 years.
Please share your own thoughts & concerns! :-) Let's build up our support system.
Thanks thats helpful! And not sure if you were asking me but my interview went really well. It was an hour and 30 mins long and she said I had the best interview by far (I was one of the earlier interviews so not sure if that means much haha). She kept complimenting me but i'm sure most of the interviewers do that. Anyways crossing my fingers that I have enough points.
just wondering if anyone has heard anything yet? I had my interview on the last day. She told me we would find out the next week. (Which was last week) I was just hoping someone got a letter, or an email or something! I'm tempted to call them. I'm dying to know...
No I called the school and they said if it says admitted under the decision section you are in, they just have to process everything and you probably receive a package in the mail as well as an email tomorrow or monday.
study hard :)
omg
