Well I actually already accepted both offers. I'm probably going to be dropping my seat at Langara within the next week when registration starts. Just trying to make some final decisions before I do that. And that's awesome! When did you finish your prereqs at Douglas? 

Ooh ic. I finished Summer 2020 at Douglas. So I’ve applied for the last two intakes. Still waiting to hear from Douglas about Winter 2022. I think I might be on a waitlist considering people have already gotten offers.

Ooo I hope it all works out! We could be starting at the same time then ? What was your GPA if you don't mind sharing?

I received this generic email reply because I sent in an inquiry:

Non-accept decisions were based on the following criteria:

1. CASPer test results
2. Post-secondary education (approximately half of the short-listed applicants completed a degree)
3. Academic performance (cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher)

 

Sooo does that mean that the past 10 years of healthcare experience didn't help me at all? ?

(I did reapply again for January 2022 LOL see y'all in a new thread)

Yes me too! When did you have to accept or decline your offer so for Douglas? My GPA currently is a 3.5

Hey, do you mind sharing what you e-mailed them? I also got a non-offer and would like to email them but don't wanna bombard them with the same questions if you already asked and got a reply. 
thanks!

That's a very strong GPA! I got my offer May 17. I had to pay my deposit by May 25 to secure my seat. I'm assuming you are waitlisted since you haven't heard back yet and it's been a while since offers went out. Hoping you hear back soon though! There's also a facebook group for Winter 2022 intake!! I can send you the link if all works out. ☺️

I sent an email to the BSN applications email asking about Casper since Canadian registrations don't open until July, while the applications close on July 15. The response was just a copy & paste email.

Hey! I got accepted for the fall intake at Langara and the Winter intake at Douglas! Douglas specifically looks at when you finished their 10 prerequisites and I believe it's a 1.5-2 year waitlist. I finished my prerequisites in fall 2019. I could've gotten in for the fall 2021 intake but completely forgot to apply. For reference, they were accepting people for the Winter 2022 who finished the prerequisites in Summer 2020. 

As I'm sure you know, Langara only has five prereqs. However, I'd say you would have to have a really good GPA to be considered. I believe some people with a 3.6 got rejected for this intake (not even waitlisted). 

Overall, Langara is much faster to get into than Douglas. If you have a strong GPA (higher than 3.6) then work on the prereqs for Langara. If not, then I would consider Douglas. For me personally, I think I'm leaning more towards accepting Douglas for a couple of reasons. The distance is much closer, you get summers off at Douglas, and I'd have to retake micro and patho again at Langara (no summers off). Only con is that I will graduate a semester later since I will be starting in Winter and not the fall. 

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions! Best of luck to you ?

Thank you so much for sharing! I still have a couple questions if you don't mind me asking. ?

So I finished my psyc degree in sfu in 2010. I have taken some of the prerequisite courses in any courses that I believe they're equivalent to the ones in Douglas. So I'm missing 2 classes out of the 10. So I'm just wondering if I can just take the 2 classes individually, or do I have to do all the prerequisites in Douglas. 

Sorry it might sounds stupid. I'm asking this because I tried to apply to Douglas. And when I tried, it asked me to pick the program I wanted to apply. ?

If I remember correctly, I read somewhere where it said you have to finish 50% of the prereqs at Douglas. That could be the issue you are having. I would speak to enrolment services and double check with them. They are changing the structure of things starting September 2022, but I can't seem to find the info about finishing 50% of the classes at Douglas anymore. They could've changed that. I would definitely recommend reaching out to Douglas and double checking. Before each application it would always ask me what program I wanted to apply for and you would have to specifically pick Bachelor of Science in Nursing - 2nd year entry. That option will only be visible when applications are open. ? Im sorry that probably wasn't very helpful.

Hi Reemaa!

 Thank you so much! You've been super helpful! 

I'll definitely look into that and check with Douglas advisor!
