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?
I applied with about 40ish credit but my gpa for those was only 3.2 i believe. I am in the middle of practical nursing program ang my GPA is 4.0. i also have 2 yeara volunteer experience at Surrey memorial
Okay wow... @Nhlznd and @ao123 you both seem extremely well qualified. I'm actually surprised you haven't received an acceptance yet. Tbh, that makes me think even lower of my chances now because I am definitely not as well rounded as you two candidates and also didn't feel too great about my questionnaire. :/
I added you in facebook í ½í¸Š feel free to add me as well. Debbie Gallardo. I was trying to make a group but I have to add a few people in order to create it.
@catsanddogs I don't think you have lower chances at all! I honestly think we all have a fair shot of getting in as we were all shortlisted for a reason. If you look at the demographics I think they try to make a well rounded intake.

Thank you for the encouraging words. :) Our wait is almost over - hopefully the remaining applicants finally hear back today!
