BCIT January/April 2019 Intake Discussion

Published

Hey everyone, I know the BCIT January 2019 admission deadline is still a ways to go but I just wanted to know how many people are planning to apply, and also exchange some advice and questions with each other.

First off, I'd like to show you what I am applying with:

Highschool reqs

Precalc 12 - 99

CHEM 11 - 86

UNI reqs (UBC)

ENG112 - 74 (B)

PSYC101 - 72 (B)

CPSC - 86 (A)

STAT - 82 (A-)

A&P1 - TBD

A&P2 - TBD

I'm taking A&P in the Summer

experiences

- senior home (occupational therapy) volunteer

- first aid volunteer

- pharmacy assistant volunteer

Here are my questions:

Does BCIT determine your GPA based on your own university's grading scale? Or their own? And also, I'm not too sure about how to calculate GPA, since there are so many different scales online. Can anyone provide an accurate estimate of my GPA?

Does number of hours you've volunteered matter? Or do they consider it by months? Because I don't see a box where you input how many hours in the form.

How strong does my application look so far, and any advice?

was this from the previous intake?

Yes, for January 2018! Sorry, I didn't specify in the comment

My friend got accepted on the 31st. I'm hoping for a miracle lol

Exactly!! Literally anything can happen, I think November 1st is when we can really jump to conclusions lmao

Has anyone received an email from them yet?

No. I am constantly checking my email. I don't want to wait till Monday.

I feel they wait until their office is almost closed and sent out decisions that way we don't bother them for the rest of the day haha

I feel like they are taunting us. With the amount of emails they probably recieve on the daily, they're probably like "Lets make them wait a little longer"

Do we know if anyone has received any non offer statuses?

it seems weird that they only sent out a few offers and the rest of us haven't heard anything. I'm so anxious I don't want to wait until next week!

Anyone know if the 250ish short-listed applicants on D2L are only for the January intake? Or are the April short-listed candidates also included in that?

I would assume they are separate? Did the april intake write the questionnaire at the same time as us??

Anyone know if the 250ish short-listed applicants on D2L are only for the January intake? Or are the April short-listed candidates also included in that?

There are 200ish shortisted for EACH intake and around 60ish seats per intake

I would assume they are separate? Did the april intake write the questionnaire at the same time as us??

Yes, we did
