BCIT Jan 2013 Applicants

[Chhun3]

Just wanted to get something started as I will be applying for this intake. Let's get this thread going. Fill me in on who you are and why you are applying bcit's nursing program.

I was told that BCIT is the most recognized institution of all nursing schools in BC. There clinical hours which I like and it's a 3 year program. It is also the most competitive, therefore the brightest, smartest, and well rounded individuals will be there. I want to be associated with a competitive environment, makes me work harder and we can learn from each other.

I am currently at kwantlen completing my pre reqs. I have completed my 1st year english and 1st year psych. I will be taking libs 7001 and 7002, 200 level psych course and 2 other bio courses.

Ahh! It seems crazy that after months of waiting, we could only have less than 24 hours left... and yet, it still seems like forever to wait.

To let everyone know, I have heard of a few friends hearing that they haven't been accepted

[iheartpurple]

Eoates you mean IT'S HAPPENING?!

Oh my, oh my, oh my! I just got some crazy butterflies. Now, I don't want to check anymore. I'd rather no news

than bad news!

BulmaBriefs you'll be up at 3 for fun? or I'm thinking something a little more like work-related..

[BulmaBriefs]

Lol I think today is when they sent out non-acceptance letter you guys! So hopefully none of us will get those emails!

and iheartpurple, I'm going to stay up at 3 just to see if i get any emails....as you can clearly tell...all this waiting has made me gone bonkers!

Good luck you guys. Sending positive thoughts xo

Hey guys, I received notice that my application was a "non offer." I was confident that I would at least get shortlisted, but that didn't happen. This is a very competitive program.

I applied with 55 credits with an overall GPA of 3.6.

I completed: 6 credits of first year english

6 credits of first year psych

6 credits of 200 level psych

3 credits of first year sociology

3 credits of Libs 7001

3 credits of Libs 7002

4 credits of Anatomy & Physiology 1

4 credits of Anatomy & Physiology 2

I also worked at London Drugs for 6 years and volunteered at the BC Cancer Agency for a year, racking up over 100 hrs of volunteer experience.

I sent the advisor a message regarding the reason why I was an non offer. I'm going to assume it is the credits, it is plausible that at least 96 applicants have 60 credits or more.

Good luck to all of you!

Wow, thats surprising you didn't get shortlisted with that. I'm guessing it was the credits too - I heard they want at least 60. You were so close though and had the electives done so that's just surprising. I'm a little more nervous now but remaining optimistic. Good luck with the fall intake! I'm sure you'll get in then.

[iheartpurple]

Chhun3: wow I was reading that and I was thinking this application has so much 'umph' to it! That really makes that 60 credit line real if it is just a matter of 5 credits!! You even have the liberal electives. If you just need that much more, you will for sure have a strong application in the fall! Best of luck Chhun3!

I am trying my best to keep my optimism up!! Good luck to everyone else who hasn't heard yet!

[iheartpurple]

I am writing a paper on personality and I cannot keep thinking how I have just had four people rate me high on neuroticism and conscientiousness. I am organized and an avid worrier... The latter is perfect for writing a paper whilst knowing something is so close, yet so gosh darn far away!

*I know I am procrastinating by jumping on here again but I cannot help it! Tonight has a special reason to procrastinate.

[BulmaBriefs]

Chhun3, Don't give up. I'm so sure that if you apply again your application will be much stronger and you'll get in! All the best to you. I'm surprised that you didn't get shortlisted with what you had...it's indeed a very competitive intake, that's for sure.

I still haven't heard anything. I'm losing it, verrrrry slowly! Gah!

Hi all,

I've been reading this forum quite a bit and decided to finally post. This is killing me.

This is my second time applying to BCIT's program with a non-offer last time around. I'm hoping that my 90-ish credits will be enough to get me through as opposed to last applications 52 credits. I've been told they send out results in bunches, so do you think they were addressing your specific group BulmaBriefs?

Thanks and good luck to everyone.

[BulmaBriefs]

Okay, so you guys..I have bad news. I contacted my admissions officer and she told me that applicants will be heard if they are going to be shortlisted by the FIRST WEEK OF NOVEMBER! This is absolutely frustrating and unfair! We get so little notice and get lots of waiting. I've never been do disappointed in my life before. I'm extremely frustrated!
