UFV January 2020 Intake

Published

I will be applying into the Bachelors of Science in Nursing program at UFV for January 2020 Intake.
Currently have A-English B-Bio B-Chem and a B-Math of which math I will be upgrading this summer to an A, hopefully.

I am also a RCA and have a lot of volunteer experience as well in the health care field

Would this be a strong enough application? Also, if anyone has experienced the information session or interview please do mention how it works and if there's any way to prepare or sort of get a better idea on what they're expecting.

I hope you get in!! I think they said 10 in the info session. Do they tell you which number you are on the list?

Yes 10! And they said before the interview that they usually always pull people from the waitlist either before the first day of school or after as there have been times where people don't even show

Specializes in Perinatal & Emergency Nursing.

I was waitlisted and I was offered a spot a week later, that was for September entry though so it might not be like that for winter

Sorry I didn't mean like right before the first day but anytime leading up to it! best of luck

Has anyone else not heard anything yet?

I got in! Congratulations to everyone else who got accepted I am excited to meet you all! For anyone who didn't get in this time round don't give up! You can do this! ?

For clarification, for those that got in, all of you applied with straight As and healthcare experience?

Thank you!

I had all A’s but pretty low A’s. 2 at 86% so just cutting it as an A lol. I have quite a few hours as a residential care aide so I think that helped me out getting an info session invite and then my essay and Interview I felt good about and I think that’s what got me the spot.

I saw you said you were a care aide so that’s really good for the work experience part! I also had 86% in English, when you reapply just send in a copy of your transcript that isn’t electronically sent because it will blend with you provincial, that happened to me and I had to get my old school to send one by mail.

As for your other courses, I found foundations 12 way easier than pre-cal 11, I took it when I wasn’t sure I’d get in this intake and it’s much much easier ?

I hope that was helpful (sorry it’s so long lol) and good luck!! Grades aren’t everything if you do well with the essay and interview you have a really good shot at getting in. Just don’t give up, I got rejected by 6 schools for September, it’ll happen for you ?
