Hello everyone,

I would just like to say how awesome it was to stumble upon this site! But..I am in a little predicament.

I have always wanted to do something in the medical field (co-oped at the hospital for 6 months in grade 12), but was push to do something else. After many years in school, I don't have the heart to finish in the field which I am in. I was at Langara for 2 years in the University Transfer program. Then I went to SFU and was in the English program. My grades were not that great and I decided to switch to a smaller school. I went to Douglas (MUCH closer to my place) and took some electives. I loved it there. I had to take a year off and head back home because of a family emergency and I had to be there. For 9 months now, I've been immersed in the hospital atmosphere. I realized that that was what I wanted to do.

I looked around and I'm confused as to what to do. Technically I'm still a student at Langara and Douglas and I have some of the requirements for each school. I mainly want Douglas because there is no wait listing but when I called in today, the academic advisor informed me that they are not accepting any more applications into the Nursing Program! I'm stumped!

1) I wouldn't mind going to Langara, but it states that I need to finish all of the courses at that school.

...So then what do I do with Douglas? They aren't accepting applications anymore.

...Langara?

I am so confused!

The reason why I am not looking into Kwatlan or BCIT is because I've had history with Langara and Douglas. Makes it easier so that I don't loose credit if I had to go to a different school.

Please help! :cry:

Apply to both!

You need to finish your pre reqs for Douglas anyways and they will open up applications again soon.

Doesn't hurt applying to multiple schools. I applied to 6 and then decided once I was accepted which one was right for me!

Ah I would love to apply to both but I need pre requisites for both schools. I only have partial from both. Langara states that I need to finish my pre req before applying and for Douglas, it seems like a free for all once they do open for accepting applications.

The pre reqs will transfer to both schools. So do your pre reqs at one school and then apply to both
