BCIT January/April 2019 Intake Discussion

[yellowseji]

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?

Did you guys get emails redirected to your personal email or did you have to check through your BCIT account?

No I didn't get an email to my personal one - I had to check my BCIT account and the acceptance email was there. My application status didn't change either, it still says pending

[gka34]

Mine still pending as well. Congrats to those who got in! I hope it's because I applied on the last day so they haven't got to me yet >

@gka34 did the nursing department answer your email yet from last week?

No email :/

I was confident that I would get in. Now I'm doubting it loool

[catsanddogs]

I just want to share this comment that I found in last January's intake. Maybe it can give some hope for those of us still waiting on a response.

"Ok, so the 96 people who got offers yesterday, have until oct.30 to decide if they would like to defer until the April start. At that point, on the 30th, admissions will know how many seats are left for January and then for April. Don't lose hope if you haven't heard anything, I feel like there is a lot of rearranging happening right now."

[catsanddogs]

Also, someone was accepted on october 30th last year. So maybe they still have a few more acceptances to give out last minute!

^^^ This is definitely me trying to stay hopeful when I'm 99.99999% sure I didn't/won't get in lol.

Does anybody know roughly how many on the waitlist get in the next intake?

[catsanddogs]

When I emailed admissions about the waitlist they told me top 10 have a pretty high chance of getting in! They also mentioned that your waitlist number is not told, which is kinda weird?

[sswild]

Oh that's definitely weird! And must be new because I was reading what the 2018 intake was saying and people knew if they were top 10 or not
