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!

3 to 5 more dayssssss on previous threads it seems they usually found out a day or two before the deadline.. Pretty sure my friends and family are just as eager for the day to come as me because I can't stop talking about it!! Haha sending out good luck vibes to everyone!!

Hehe I've been reading past threads too. I know I want to find out soon so I can start planning my life!!

Well my gpa this term is 4.1... That woulda helped for my application. I wonder if it's too late to submit an updated transcript. What do you guys think?

[alyssa.m]

Haha yes I think it's probably too late!! They didn't allow any interim grades this year, so I don't think they want updated transcripts because a lot of people would have just finished courses. But you could email and ask I guess! I also think they're probably almost done deciding who gets in and who doesn't, as they only have three more days to finish!

[alyssa.m]

Good job on the 4.1 though!! :)

[Cyrene]

OMG 4.1! Well done! Now I am a bit worried as I have 3.1 GPA

Anyways, best of luck to everyone! one more week of waiting

[Pumpkinn]

Thanks Alyssa, your probably right! I'll message but they must be almost done deciding.

Thanks Cyrene! Don't be worried that gpa is just for this term. My application gpa is 3.5. Also gpa isn't the only thing they look for!! I have faith in all of us!! Good luck ladies we will know soon 😁

[Pumpkinn]

Omg this week is the week we find out... The anticipation is killing me! I started working again, and I miss school lol. I hate working with food! I just want to be a nurse already!!!

[j_essim_ac]

I'm a wreck today and checking my BCIT email continuously... it's very distracting from work! Fingers crossed for everyone this week!

[missray]

hehe I bet we are all in the same boat :) I swear I check my BCIT email like 100 times a day, so I really hope we find out soon! Waiting until April 30th has been killing me, but its only a few days away now. Eek! Good luck to all!

So I found this forum and am completely relieved that I'm not the only one being driven insane by all this waiting. Everyone in my family has been telling me that it's not healthy/normal to check my application status 50+ times a day hah!
