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.
Ok sorry, I changed it to "UFV Nursing Class - January 2015 intake" to make it totally obvious for anyone looking. It is an open group so should allow anyone to join.
Could someone please tell me in detail the steps to apply.
I am currently a post secondary student and I plan on applying with my high school grades. I don't have a grade
lower than a B in all my courses from high school. I volunteered for 30 hours at a Medical Clinic and have been working there for 3 years now. I also volunteered at a hospital and have over 100 hours. Also I work at an optometry as well.
I just want to know exactly what some of you did to get accepted and what they look for?
Would really appreciate it if you guys could give some advice!
