   AFAIK, doesn't matter when you apply so long as you get your application in by the deadline. First seats go to all the degree holders. Then the rest of the seats are assigned by GPA.

   Langara admits solely on GPA. Volunteering will not help you with admissions to Langara. The only thing that gets you to the front of the line at Langara is a previous degree. Langara gives priority admission to degree holders and then picks the r...

   babyfriendly replied to greyn's topic in CA Programs

   I think it's 72. Then in Term 3, they accept 8 LPNs who want to get their BSN into the cohort. So assuming everyone passes and stays in the program, they graduate 80 students twice a year.

   babyfriendly replied to VeryPeachy94's topic in CA Programs

   All that will happen is you will be out money if the school requires an immediate deposit when you accept your spot. Some of those deposits are non refundable. I think most schools have wait lists and there's always jostling right at the beginning o...

   babyfriendly replied to greyn's topic in CA Programs

   hey, those of you who have prior degrees are, I think, pretty much guaranteed a spot. Last I heard they were still giving priority admission to anyone with a degree. After all the degree holder, the rest of the spots are allocated based on GPA (for t...

    Charlotte, for Langara, they ONLY consider the grades for the 5 pre-requisites, not your grades from your previous degree. I will try to send you a private message with more info.

    babyfriendly replied to Charlotte_18's topic in CA Programs

    Hi Charlotte, is there a specific school you're hoping to get into? FWIW, I think Langara is a pretty simple process to apply. They need 2 specific English courses, Anatomy & Physiology courses, and statistics. They go by GPA only - don't car...
