BCIT nursing Sept 2015 intake

[ipascu]

Hello all!

This is my third time starting a forum (aka my third time applying to a program...).

I am planning on applying to BCIT BSN for September 2015 intake.

Applications have already opened, but I am still waiting on marks. In my case, I have everything but my grade 11 courses (ha). I am currently finishing up Chem 11 and Math 11 because I had a C+.

....I guess grade 11 really does matter.

The deadline is April 1st. Here are the prerequisites as of January 2015:

*note: all changes are in italics

• English: two years of education in English in an English-speaking country
  (previous requirement: B)
  
• Chemistry 11 (73%)
  (previous requirement C+)
  
• Math: one of the following:
  (previous requirement C+)
  
  • Principles of Mathematics 11 (73%) or 12 (67%) or
    
  • Applications of Mathematics 12 (73%) or
    
  • Foundations of Mathematics 11 (73%) or 12 (73%) or
    
  • Pre-Calculus 11 (73%) or 12 (67%) or
    
  • MATH 0007 (73%)
    

• Academic Foundations requirement: Completion of 18.0 university credits with a minimum of (67%) in each of the following courses:
  
  • ENGL 1177 Academic Writing or a first-year transferable English composition course* (3.0 credits)
    
  • Anatomy & Physiology* - must have been completed within the past 3 years (6.0 credits)
    
  • PSYC 1101 Introductory Psychology 1 or an equivalent Psychology course* (3.0 credits)
    
  • General Education [PDF] electives at a 100 level minimum in at least 2 different academic disciplines (6.0 credits)
    

Feel free to share your story or concerns. I've found it useful to have a forum open for people to discuss their concerns throughout the process.

All the best to you!

Hi just wondering if you were accepted into the august intake? if so, if you dont mind telling me, what were your grades for your anatomy and physiology?

I was accepted into the August intake. My anatomy & physiology course marks were A and A+.

Great thanks, one more question, did you have prior experience or volunteer work?

[db131]

Is it worth applying without A&P courses completed, has anyone gotten in without them?

Could anyone provide me with some insight regarding footwear? I was told non-mesh shoes for easy cleaning. What kind of shoes are you guys currently wearing?

Any information is appreciated, thank you! :)

Wait wait wait... Are you saying in order to get in, I have to already have a year of random university courses completed?

You don't HAVE to, but BCIT is highly competitive so they give preference to those students who have 30+ credits. So you don't actually need it to apply, but your chances of getting in without those credits are pretty slim.
