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?
They aren't too bad! I can message you in more detail if you would like :)
Also, both courses are offered in Burnaby as well - so if you prefer a classroom setting, that's still an option! Did you get accepted into the April intake?
If I'm still waitlisted for the April intake by the end of February, I will also be applying for the September 2019 intake! I really hope I'll hear back before then, but if not, maybe my chances will be better having completed 69 credits (including both LIBS courses) and longer work experience after my Fall semester is finished.
Hey all. I'm on the January 15 waitlist and they replied back to me today saying all January waitlisted students will be considered for April intake as well!

Thank god!
Thanks for letting us all know. Did they mention if they've already sent out all the April intake offers though? Unsure if we would then be put into an "April top 15" waitlist or get a seat.

I emailed them late last night asking whether all 64 seats were sent out for April, and if so, if there is also a separate waitlist for April. Still waiting on a response but will update as soon as I know!
I'm really, really hoping that April isn't full because that would mean the January waitlist gets to fill the remaining seats! I wonder if we're allowed to ask at this point how many people applied/were shortlisted/were accepted for ONLY April. Are both intakes usually equal in their competition?

If you search either LIBS course on the BCIT website, you should find the location as either online (through D2L) or at the Burnaby campus
