BCIT August 2013 Applicants

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?

I took both these courses online. I would recommend taking 7001 online as it is reading and understanding different concepts while reading. The 7002 course I would not recommend online it is quite complex and some of the concepts I wish I was in a classroom. That's my 2 sense :)

I also took them both online. DO NOT take 7002 online. If you are strong - ish in English than 7001 online is fine. Good luck!

Thanks to you both! I appreciate the feedback.

Hey everyone,

I manually dropped off my transcripts at the office on Aug. 9, and today my application status was updated and it says that my transcripts were "received by August 21, 2013." So this makes me wonder if the documents have to be received by Aug. 31, or does everything have to be processed by Aug. 31. If anyone can clarify this that would be awesome!

Also, all of the academic requirements have a Note placed next to it that indicates the course that I've received credit for, EXCEPT for the 6 credits General Academic Requirements; however they have indicated that they received it. If there is no note next to the requirement does that mean I didn't receive credit for it?! What does this mean?! I am freaking out and the deadline is fast approaching. :(

I believe that all supporting documentation has to be submitted by August 31st in order for your application to be complete and accepted for review. I finished A&P this semester and I'm patiently waiting for the transcripts to get there haha! In regards to your second comment, mine says "received" as well with nothing beside it. This concerned me too, but they sent communication informing methat I had missing requirements and only my A&P marks were missing and were required by the 31st (which I knew because I was currently completing it) so I assume I've met the requirements. If you recieved no letter informing you that you have missing requirements, I'm sure you're fine. But double checking from them directly always gives better peace of mind haha.

When they recieve all of the documents and you have passed the primary screening they will send you an email to your BCIT email account stating " department review ready" or something like that. If you do not meet the minumum requirements they automatically throw out your application.

Hey nnomura,

Thanks for reminding me to check myCommunication; I completely forgot about it. I read the letter and the 6 general requirements were not listed as missing requirements. This reassured me and gave me peace of mind.

Has everyone submitted all their documents in?

I just handed in the last piece of the remaining documents, and now the wait begins!

Question: So deferring to the next semesters intake gets you immediate acceptance???

So if you defer for the next intake is it an automatic acceptance?

im 99 percent sure that if you defer, you are in for the next intake...but you have ti be accepted or or possibly wait-listed before you defer
