The advisor I spoke to said it was their first time doing competitive entry and that they had less than 30 seats to offer. 

Bloody hell - 30 seats!! Let's hope everyone else forgets about VCC...I almost did because they closed applications for the the last 3 or so years. Good luck ?  

Also, booking my math assessment.

Thank you! It was not bad at all! 

Good luck to you when you take it!

Did it have the same type of questions as the practice test? And was it multiple choice?

Also, does anyone know if the score on your math assessment is counted toward your GPA?

It's 24 seats to be exact and I have a feeling there will be lots of applicants this year due to covid.

Hi! 

I spoke to one of the advisors recently and they said that it has to be two courses from the same subject, an example they gave me (PSYC 1100 and PSYC 1200).  ?

There is also a math assessment.

Hi there,

Do you know if the social science courses have to directly transfer to VCC or is it okay if they don't as long as one obtains 6 credits of social science courses?

Hello!

I am not sure about that. It might be possible, but you should call and ask just to make sure.

The assessment was similar to the practice with multiple choice answers! and yes there has been lots of applicants across all nursing schools this year making every school highly competitive to get into ?

My application has been updated to being reviewed by department, so now I am just in the waiting game. Super nerve racking!

I know waiting is really stressful! I just want to know allready. I applied to VCC as my third choice, I just have to write the assessment.

From my understanding, VCC only judges you based on GPA on the 6 pre-requisite courses and casper?

I believe so! They use to have volunteer/work hours as a prereq before but its been waived due to COVID!

When I applied, it said "waived COVID" under that requirement on my vcc even though I included a reference letter with my volunteer hours.

Okay great, I was stressed because my references haven't replied yet. Thanks for your quick reply.

I also just applied to VCC this week, so I'm sure it'll take a bit to update.

Hey has anyone else who's sent in the CASPER, been received yet by the college? I sent mine a month ago and I got an email from VCC saying I'm missing it
