BCIT nursing Sept 2015 intake

Published

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!

Waiting is the worst part! I have finals for school during these next couple weeks, and I'm distracted because I'll be thinking about whether I'm in or not. Lol.

Just completed the questionnaire isn't too bad, but I would definitely recommend reviewing all the links provided and coming up with as many examples as possible. I found the time constraint a bit stressful because I could have prepared a bit more beforehand; however, all in all its totally doable. I finished in the nick of time with 1 min to go :)

@Rayanne I only applied to BCIT, but might apply to UBC if I do not get into the BCIT August intake. But fingers crossed I do!!

Ahaha awesome grats Missray, all we have to now is wait :(

Anyways I kept my answers around 300 words per question to keep it consistent.

I gave at least one example but made it complex enough, so that I can show different types of qualities that I would do in that situation.

Did you guys do the same thing? How many words per questions did you guys have?

Thanks Cyrene! I did as close to 250 words per question as I could, but I went over thst limit on a few of them. It was very hard to keep them at just 250!? I also provided one specific example for each question. I'm excited for their final decision in a few weeks and I'm sure you rocked it :)

The wait sucks! Lol :(

I tried to stay in the limit I think I went a little bit over for some questions, it was totally tough to keep it around 250!! I kept the same example for two of my questions but used two for my other two questions, because I couldn't get too much more in depth than I did, but I feel the depth was good.

I also found the time constraint stressful, luckily I finished with five minutes to spare! I found the links to be helpful. Since they helped elucidate what type of skills they are looking for.

Good luck you guys! I have faith in us! 🙏

i was a little bit confused with the third question from the questionnaire.. the heading said "Professionalism" but the question was leadership..what did you guys say? i talked about both, but more about professionalism.

Hello everyone,I observed this thread in silence so far, and today I decided to join the conversation. I was too shortlisted for August 2015, and I have completed the questionnaire last night. It wasn't that bad as I expected. The only thing that I have found difficult was to maintain the 250 word limit. I tried to keep it but I exceeded too a couple of answers. Now that the questionnaire has come to the end of the availability, I guess all we have to do is to wait.So let the waiting game begin! Good luck to everyone and I hope we get an answer soon.:yes:
