For all of us applying to UBC's BSN 2016 program, let's communicate, share and give encouragement to one another throughout the process.
I just submitted my general UBC application to get the ball rolling early, and it already gave me access to get started on my supplemental application. This is my second time applying, so I hope to do a better job on my app this year and at least get an interview. But I have also accepted that this may not be my fate and I have other options.
Incidentally, to others who also applied previously: I phoned to make sure all my transcripts were still on file, and they are not! UBC admissions discards everything from last year. So I have six transcripts to send in again (including high school). Expensive and time consuming, and also seems a little crazy in the age of computers that they didn't keep electronic copies. But, we do what we have to do... Good luck everyone!
I would not know sorry. this is the first time I am applying.
I remember I applied to a med school a few years ago when my gpa was stellar. Out of 200, about 80 got sent out first, then a few days later about 80 and at the end of the week everyone knew if they got invited or not. They waited 2-3 days until they heard from the first batch to fill in the spots if there were any that weren't coming to the interview.
I am worried about my gpa now. I only have like 73 percent average. This year I did whole lot better so I should have a better average next year but hopefully i get a chance this year too mehhhh fingers crossed.
Im assuming they have 3 interviewers that rotate between 3 participants, I did notice that there are currently 45 participant slots...maybe that means 45 invitations so far?
Hi everyone! I've been following for a while and just got an interview as well :) I was just wondering, where are you guys thinking of doing your interview? It makes me kinda nervous that you need a really good internet connection for the interview.
Been creeping the forum for a while, thought I'd join in on the fun as I just got my interview invite today! Yay! Congrats to all of those who did as well and crossing my fingers for those still waiting to hear :)
Question: Does anyone know how many people out of the 500 applicants this year will receive the interview invitations?
Gingerballerina, on the UBC site it says out of 500+ applicants the top 200 are invited for interviews, and then the top 120 are accepted! Good luck to you all, fingers crossed! :)
