UFV September 2017 Applicants

[snow18]

Hey Everyone )

I thought that I would start a September 2017 intake thread. It is a bit early compared to other threads, but we can chat as we prepare for the deadline. What applicants are applying with and chat about the program or anxiety.

2As and 2Bs (average was 82%), 600 hours of volunteering, past experience as a care aide assistant in a care home, experience working on a suicide and crisis hotline, and rejected for the second time. I'm heartbroken but at peace, though I got accepted into the UFV LPN program and I plan to bridge into RN one day. I think everything happens for a reason and I just have to keep a positive attitude, plus maybe LPN was meant to be for me. Thank you everyone for the help and best of luck with your applications, whether accepted or rejected. XOXO

My cousin did a bach of RN about 15 years ago when the average acceptance was 60%, I wish things were still like that but times change. I can't imagine how much more competitive it will be in the future.

@percythepup oh no! I am so sorry you didn't get in . Didn't you have a 3.75 GPA?! Best of luck in the LPN program!

What would be appropriate clothing to wear to the info session?

[Prmtm]

@2221 I've only received an information session invitation; haven't received any e-mail about the interview.

@starbuckss based off of previous threads, people suggested dressing business casual to both the info session and the interview.

This intake is crazy competitive but they took my English 105 mark instead of the English 12 mark which made my GPA go up.

Hey everyone! So I recently got my invitation for the information session. Despite of the excitement, I am honestly quite nervous regarding the essay. Does anybody have any advice on how to prepare for the 30 minute essay writing session?

[starbuckss]

Ngilmore I totally understand, I am so nervous too.. I know that it's mostly ethics-based questions; those can be tricky to answer sometimes. Basically I've just been trying to prepare by practicing how to answer questions with proper grammar, and I've been timing myself so I can answer them in a good amount of time

Me! So nervous for the interview and essay on the 12th!

I have 3 A's and 1 B..116 volunteer hours . how about you?

Hello! Has anyone received an invite for an interview yet? Or just for info sessions?

[hark]

Hey! U have gotten an interview invite aswell??

[kdc123]

I have only gotten an email for info session.. and in the email it said applicants invited for interview would be notified by email?

I'm confused..

[hark]

I think they mean after info session! I had emailed them and they said interview emails will be sent after the info session :)
