Once you are waitlisted, you do not need to any other things to improve your application or reapply again, wasting $90. If you are not accepted for this intake you will be automatically offered a seat in the next one. I knew that from a previous post.
I was waitlisted for aug 2017 and applied again and I am waitlisted again. I also took more courses to improve my application.
@curiouspanda The time people losing hope is at the moment the result of acceptance has been sent out. Therefore the worrying doesn't have no reason.
I quickly looked through the background of selected students in the August 2017 intake. Quite a lot of students just got their bachelor graduating from SFU or UBC in this June. I just feel like " what? It seems the so-called waiting game has been ended from then. "
When I went to the program consulting, the adviser did tell me the selection committee prefers applicants have a degree. I thought those applicants they need to apply for a different bachelor program because they cannot find a job after trying. It seems they are lucky finishing one degree and then starting the other one while other people do not have a chance to start one as the education resources is scarce.
I am not blaming anything. If the applicant is more like to succeed it is good for the school and selected applicant.
@kkuit You would better to ask the committee to see the meaning of the status of being waitlisted. Someone just said the acceptance is revokable so the status of being waitlisted may not mean anything.
Just wanted to say good luck to all of you on your questionnaire, as recently being notified of my acceptance! Think ahead, give your best shot and don't over stress; and remember, if you fail once, it's just reason to learn and keep trying harder!
Hey everyone! I am shortlisted too, and thought I would jump in on the conversation!
I wonder if the questions they ask on the quiz be more situation based like "Describe when" or will it be "what are your strengths and weaknesses"... I always disliked that question.. haha.
I am also wondering if we would be considered for the April intake as well if we get waitlisted? All of this is so new to me still, it will be my first time applying!

I'm sure you can request to be considered for the April intake still (double check though). But keep in mind that the April intake (and every intake going onwards) will have a different curriculum from the January 2018 curriculum.
I have heard that the questions will be interview style.
@yogigirl Hey! I posted and also other people here who have been shortlisted posted about some general information about the questionnaire. You can re-read them again if that helps :)
"With the new intake in April, shortlisted applicants for the January intake will also be shortlisted for the April intake. An additional application is not required. If a student is not offered a seat for January, then the student wouldn't be considered for April either. The student would have to wait and apply for the September 2018 intake. This is only taking place for the 2018 January and April intakes," it may not be the same for the 2019 intakes.
I think it's less spots than that. As far as I know, with the new curriculum starting, they are still accepting the same number of students per year, it's just being split up over three cohorts. So 60ish people will be let each semester. At least that's what they told me at the office when I was asking about it. I'm not sure if that's still the case. It might actually be 150 spots because they will probs take 96 into the current curriculum in Januaray and start the 66 intake in april.

That's the same thing I was told when I was taking my prerequisites at BCIT. So, I think it's 250 people competing for less than 128 seats (since some people got accepted right away).

meaning, if a student who applied for January intake gets an offer, the student may have a choice to be considered for April since being shortlisted for January also means being shortlisted for April? and so, if a student did not get offered a seat for January after being shortlisted on that intake, then the student will be automatically be given no seat offer for the April intake since the person shortlisted did not get in the cut for January? therefore, I assume whatever outcome a January applicant intake receives, will reflect its April intake reapplication.
i asked the Admissions Officer(AO) something similar and the AO simply said a student can only apply either January or April intake, and not both. I didnt ask any further questions at the time so I applied for the April intake since I assume not many people would be interested in applying for the later date, thus less competition xD. but anyway with the information given to you by an AO, it kinda made sense to me why they didnt allow students apply to both intakes.
