BCIT January 2018 Intake

[Twinkyswirl]

Hello everyone!

Now that the 2018 January applications are open, I thought that a thread should be started about it.

To those that are wondering, I'm applying with:

A&P 1 - A-

A&P 2 - A-

Psychology - A-

English - A-

Physics (elective 1) - A-

Philosophy (elective 2) - B

So, overall I'm applying with a 3.55 GPA. I have no previous degree, or relevant work experience. However, I do have relevant volunteer experiences.

I'm so nervous about my chances getting in. How are you guys feeling? What are your grades like?

Good luck to us all! :)

Hi!! I've been silently following the forum for a while and I wish everyone the best of luck! Now that the questionnaire is over, it's all super nerve wracking. Also, i did use the STAR method on my questionnaire as I've heard it helped in the past.

Hey !! Guys I emailed nursing department about selection process. They wrote back explaining " quiz is 1/3 , Education 1/3 and the other 1/3 healthcare related field, GPA and if you failed quiz your file will be closed"

Thanks for sharing @sona2nurse. Hopefully we'll be hearing back soon!

Oh gosh, I'm so scared. I have little to no experience in the healthcare field and I have less than 40 credits. I don't think I will be accepted with how much they're weighing education and job history. I wish the best for you guys though!

Let's try and stay postive. Twinkyswirl, I have less than 40 credits too. This was my second time applying as the first time they just said no. I'm thankful I've made it this far, and if there's a possibility of being short listed for April, then the questionnaire questions will most likely be the same. Don't give up yet!

Can't seem to focus at all so I'm trying to distract myself by doing homework and projects.

Just stay busy. We won't find out over the weekend anyways so just enjoy it! Exersize lots so that you sleep well at night. Don't worry about checking your email for the weekend.

Do you know if they base GPA off of your overall University credits or just on the 7 required classes for applying?

They base it off the prerequisites (the 7 required classes), but if you have a poor overall GPA, they will also take that into consideration.

[sona2nurse]

They only take your prerequisites GPA. From what I heard.
