I just decided to make this thread because I'm looking for some advice/insight on what more to do to get into the BCIT Nursing Program. I'm finishing up my last pre-req (BPK 325 at SFU) this semester and want to apply for the January 2016 intake. I have recently started volunteering at Nursing home and will have 50 hours by June and I currently have 50+ hours volunteering with the city of Surrey.
I was going to apply for the Auguest 2015 intake but my pre reqs didn't make it too!
My gpa for courses other than the bio ones are A averages but I'm afraid my B- and C+ in the biology courses will affect my application significantly :/ Overall, I'm at 2.8 cgpa and 200+ volunteer hours.
I heard from the academic advisor during the August 2015 intake that you're pretty much guaranteed to get in with 100+ hours of experience, 3.0 cgpa, and don't mess up the shortlisting questionaire too badly. I noticed that for this intake, this changed their preference from "related volunteer experience" to just "related experience." In that case, I included my work experience.
Did anyone else include their work experience in their application or heard from the academic advisors?
Hi chocobo, did you finally get in despite the B and C in A&P? Curious cuz i m applying with a lower than average gpa too....thanks in advance for your feedback!
I just started BCIT's program last week and have a question for those who are in level 2 and/or completed level 2.
I do not have to take microbiology in level 2 because I've transferred it from elsewhere. I have completed LIBS 7001 with 77% (in which I barely tried and am horrible at writing essays). I was considering taking LIBS 7021 Health Ethics in level 2 since I won't have to take microbiology. This way I will have the entire summer off without taking any classes. Has anyone taken LIBS 7021 or can shed light on the workload in level 2?
