BCIT September 2017 Intake

[summer-]

Hey everyone. I've seen some threads from previous intakes, but none for this upcoming one, so I thought I'd make my own.. and hopefully receive some responses.

Just wondering how many of you have applied already? And with what GPA, prior education (# of credits, past degrees), and work/volunteer hours or experience you are applying with.

Also what grades have you gotten in the pre-reqs?

I myself have got 35 credits at SFU with a 3.14 GPA..

I've been volunteering at a care home for a few months now.

My grades:

Chem 11 - 96%

Pre Calc 12 - 77%

ENGL 1177 - B

Anatomy and Physiology (1) - A-

Anatomy and Physiology (2) - B+

Psychology - A

For general education I got A's in both classes.

I just thought it would be helpful to see what others are applying with, so we can get a sense of our own standing and where we need to improve on. I hope in this thread we can all exchange tips and get to know eachother incase we do all end up going to BCIT together :)

That's awesome!! If you get an offer from BCIT are you going to choose that instead of Langara?

[Hunerg]

Yea, I would go to bcit instead.

Does anyone know how far down the waitlist applicants have been accepted? any info, personal experience or where they're currently at in the acceptance process would be greatly appreciated!

What's the difference between waitlist and holdlist??

[Twinkyswirl]

To those that got in, would you mind sharing your GPA, how many credits you have in total, volunteer experience, as well as work experience? Thanks everyone :)

hi everyone,

I'm currently level 4 in the program. Let me know if you have any questions :)

[xmcx]

@ xoxkayytee can you share your grades of pre-req classes, overall gpa, total credits, volunteer experience, work experience?

and do you have any info/experience with the waitlist/holdlist?

and do you know if we have any control over the level 1 schedule? whether we get the long thursday or long fridays? thanks so much!

Hey all! Has anyone gotten any updates on themselves/others moving up the hold or waitlist?! Even a few words are helpful TO THOSE that can ONLY get in if someone drops a seat! A repost of an important message, since a month of anxious waiting has passed:

**A kind word to those that have been offered a seat but know they will not attend: Please let BCIT know as soon as you know you won't be attending this program, so they may offer the seat to others on the waitlist as soon as possible. Many of those waitlisted have to wait to see if seats become available, and have to make life decisions like moving, pay tuitions/down payments on houses, enrol in other programs, start summer classes, jobs by certain deadlines these upcoming months. The later that they are accepted/rejected from the waitlist, the higher jeopardy the family, financial, academic and other issues of their lives are put at stake. This is hopefully a little reminder during this time, speaking to the humanity and compassion in all of us as future colleagues. As we all make insightful decisions, sending the best wishes to everyone, those making these decisions, those attending and those pursing a career elsewhere, good luck!

Im sorry to hear that summer I hope you will get in on the next intake!

Im currently in my fourth year of my undergraduate degree in health science finishing up my bach. of science degree.

Credit wise i'm approximately nearing 130ish credits (could graduate but need one more required course) if i remember right.... my grades are decent at 3.45 (first year general science wrecked me) while my upper division grades are 3.70.

Experience wise, I volunteer a lot with SFU Lets Talk Science and at my local senior community center.

For the application regarding experience... I didn't put the numbers of hours I've accumulated like most people. I just wrote the start date to present.

No I did not complete LIBS 7001 or 7002, the english that i took at SFU were ENGL 102W, ENGL 104W, and HSCI 319W (ethics heavy writing course).

Hope that helps!

Hey! I'm a student at SFU and I'm planning to apply to BCIT's nursing program next year. A prerequisite for the nursing program is BCIT's ENGL 1177. On the BCIT website, it only lists SFU's ENGL 199w as an equivalent. I'm wondering, can I use another english course at SFU to fulfill the requirement or do I have to use ENGL 199w? Thank you in advance!
