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!

OK, after lurking for a while, I finally made an account here! This waiting is killing me! After 2.5 years of doing pre-reqs along side working, I'm going out of my mind having nothing to study. I hope we start finding out soon!

Hi @craftymedic,

I am sure we will find out soon, the wait is killing me too. It sucks knowing there is a chance I could be cut. However, all we can do is our best. Its out of our hands now.

I am sure you will get in and have plenty to study!!! Fingers crossed

This waiting is not fun. It's been such a long time preparing for this application, so to have such a short period to wait seem so long... I'm trying to keep my perspective positive. Good luck everyone.

Hang in there everyone~

You've made it so far, its the home stretch now! I understand how anxious this waiting can be, but soon you'll be embarking on your nursing career. :)

I'm just finishing up my level one at BCIT and time has seriously flown by. It's finals week soon so it's been hectic. You guys have honestly picked the best nursing program in BC. Hope you all get some good news soon!
