I have a conditional offer of a place on a Masters course in the UK and will most likely accept that. They want me to do a day's work shadowing which is why I need to find somewhere to do that.

But it's obviously more expensive to train there than here and I am worried about doing the training in the UK and then having to get the qualification accepted in BC if I come back to work some time. So I have been thinking about the UBC Masters as another option, although I missed this year's application deadline as I need to bump up my average by a couple of percent through some extra courses which I've been taking over the last year.

By the way, if you or anyone else has any info on UBC and how hard it is to get in, that would be much appreciated.

As for the Canucks - not so good just now
