   Congrats!! Did you have a previous degree as well?

   onwardupward replied to RiceCrackers's topic in CA Programs

   I encourage you to take the remaining prerequisites in one semester. When you get into nursing school, you will be taking many difficult courses in one semester so you should learn to be able to handle the workload of English, A&P, and Stats alto...

5. BCIT - pre-requisites

   onwardupward replied to freelikeair's topic in CA Programs

   They only look at your GPA from the prerequisites in determining whether or not you will be shortlisted. If you have an unsatisfactory transcript from the past, you are allowed to submit a letter of explanation for your performance and still be consi...

   I think that the GPA cutoff will definitely be lower for future intakes just because they have taken out the university-transferable electives, which people almost always use to boost their GPA. I have completed both English courses and the Statistic...

   My reaction right now... 3.73 is already an amazing GPA...

8. Langara Fall 2016!

   onwardupward replied to haedis's topic in CA Programs

   Wow, the GPA cutoff this year is like no other year. I haven't even done an application (hoping to start in 2017) and I'm already nervous!

9. Langara Change in Entry Admissions Requirements

   onwardupward replied to ollywolly's topic in CA Programs

   I agree with bigblondebun, you should be careful with who teaches the different sections of a course. I'm currently doing STAT 1124. My prof is super easy. The midterm was exactly like the homework we were given as well as the quizzes. On the other h...

10. Langara Change in Entry Admissions Requirements

    onwardupward replied to ollywolly's topic in CA Programs

    Wow, that's actually terrible that they don't accept your completed anatomy courses especially when other institutions do. Langara was definitely my first choice but now I am also looking at out-of-province programs. Hopefully you find better luck at...

11. Langara Change in Entry Admissions Requirements

    onwardupward replied to ollywolly's topic in CA Programs

    It truly isn't fair. I have yet to begin the first anatomy course. So far I am taking stats, and two electives that are not needed anymore. Since I have credit for ENGL 1127, I could have been taking 1129 this term! Instead, I'm taking online intro p...

    onwardupward replied to ollywolly's topic in CA Programs

    I can understand these changes since I've always known you would have to take them as part of the nursing program anyway. The only thing I am concerned about is how we were not informed of these changes before registration started. I talked to a frie...

13. Langara Change in Entry Admissions Requirements

    onwardupward replied to ollywolly's topic in CA Programs

    I mean I know that I would have to take the second A&P in the nursing program anyway, but it's true what Kay said - getting into both courses is almost impossible to do in ideally two terms, since the courses are so popular. I have e-mailed other...

    onwardupward replied to ollywolly's topic in CA Programs

    The advisor finally replied me. I had a conversation with her over the phone. I'll summarize what she said to me. She said that we (students who registered for 2 electives that no longer count) 'fall into a very unfortunate group and there is nothing...

15. Langara Change in Entry Admissions Requirements

    onwardupward replied to ollywolly's topic in CA Programs

    I didn't attend the info session but I only recently saw this change on the nursing page. I am absolutely horrified by this change. Many of us who were planning to apply in 2017 are already taking two university transferable courses. We have already ...
