BCIT August 2013 Applicants

[SIMBURGER]

Hello future nurses,

I am so excited to be starting nursing at BCIT in August!

For future applicants: To have a strong application make sure you have work experience, volunteer experience (preferably healthcare), as well as liberal arts courses - my Psych 241 at SFU transferred over as a libs course and I will find out if any other courses of mine transfer over once I send them an updated transcript.

I am going to be going in with a completed BSc in Kinesiology and Psychology, but a full degree is not necessary, just at least 60 credits to be competitive!

Anyone else defer to August?

you were right it took them 5 weeks to process my transcripts but they eventually did

Hey guys,

My application status for the January 2013 class went from being 'waitlisted' to 'Please Contact Admissions Department.' Did anybody else recieve this as well?...

[ace12345]

Yes mine did as well! And now there is a new application for fall 2013 that says pending

Hi BulmaBriefs, I got the "please contact admission office" message a few days ago, and for some weird reasons, today it said "application withdraw." I am so frustrated. Does the nursing department have phone number? I want to get a hold of them so that I can figure out what's going on asap since email takes a long time.... :'(

Please advise.

Thanks for your replies guys!

Hmmm..that's so strange. I tried calling my admissions officer today but she didn't pick up..maybe it doesn't mean anything. Maybe they want us to contact them so they can tell us the reason why we weren't offered a seat or something like that.

Memegumi, I'll send you a pm of the numbers you can contact:)

For those of you who got placed on the top of the hold list, did you guys reply them and tell them you would like to remain on the hold list and get into the August intake? Thanks.

[memegumi]

BulmaBriefs, thanks for the contact numbers. I got a hold of one of them and got my problem solved. Thanks.

Hi memegumi, if you were on top of the hold list "application withdrawal" is for the January intake meaning you're in for August even if you did not defer because in was a guaranteed seat for August. I was on top of the hold list and told them that I'd just start in August and that's what my status says. Also the lady from the nursing department said that we will receive our official acceptance letters in March, as well as information for the orientation etc.

I handed in all documentation today. I applied for the last intake and didn't make the 1st cut. I thought I would definitely get shortlisted.

This time around I applied with 64 credits (GPA 3.68). I worked 6 years at London Drugs and have many volunteering hours. Some of the organizations I have been associated with are Coast Mental Health, The BC Cancer Society, Working Gear Clothing and a bunch of weekend cancer events.

I completed the following:

Anatomy and Physiology I, II

English 1177

Psychology 1st and 2nd year

Libs 7001, 7002

Good luck everyone!
