Douglas College (in BC) Fall '15 or Winter '16

juicybath · Oct 10, 2015

My daughter found out she was accepted for the Fall 2016 intake. She got a letter on Sept 24th. Now, a it's a year of waiting to start, but it's great to have a definite date at last! She completed her Academic Foundations courses in the Winter '15 semester.

Good luck to all who are waiting.

Hey all,

I am wanting to apply for the academic foundations program -> BSN

I was wondering how intense the classes are and what advice you could give me if any im a little apprehensive

and do they somewhat set you up with the courses that you need to take or do you pretty much take whatever course yu can get

on the list at douglas college? Has anyone taken the courses PT or was it strictly FT and did you have an easy time getting

into those courses douglas is asking you to take or was it hard to get into some of them.. I was thinking of taking some courses

at UFV (the transferable ones) Im so new to this and I know it is what I want to do, just some sense of guidance would be

so helpful!

I know lots of first year ( academic foundation students) who took only one or two classes a semester. You just won't be done in a year going that route, but it's an option. Also, as long as you take the classes suggested on the website, you can pick and choose the most appealing ones to you.

The courses themselves are pretty easy, the bio, Patho, micro, and stats are the toughest, but certainly manageable.

If your grades are decent you might not get wait listed. It depends on what registration date they give you.

Hi! I have been reading this thread. I recently found out I am #1 on the wait list for fall 2016. I am wondering if you have heard of many people getting in from the wait list. Thanks so much!

has anyone applied for winter 2017? i did but i am finishing my patho at the moment so I don't think I will get into that intake but hopefully the next one. How many tries did it take everyone else? did anyone get a seat who hasn't finished the academic foundation?

Beexo · Feb 23, 2016

I just got an offer on Friday!! It took me two tries to get in. I hope you get a spot :)

did you have the requirements completed the first time you applied?

Know someone who got rejection letter for Winter 2017 & the letter says applicants offered spots had completed their pre requisites in Summer 2015.

Have you checked online dressage_girly? The status online is updated before the letter gets mailed.
