Hi there, I think I can answer this one for you. I'm a Langara nursing student currently and the way it works there is that as long as you meet the minimun requirements your name is put on a waitlist. I believe douglas is like this too so as long as you meet requirements you will eventually be offered a seat. The question is just how long the waitlist is. I waited for about a year and a half for Langara. I was on Douglas's waitlist as well. Lastly, Kwantlen's seating is chosen by a random draw. So I know in the past you would apply on November 1st and then basically they pick however many students by a random computer genarized draw. If you were not to be picked for Kwantlen there is no waitlist and you would have to reapply the following year. I hope this helps you. Good luck :)

Hi, I just came back from the Douglas Info Session, they are now on preferential admission, I am going into Pre-Nursing studies to hopefully get a seat in 07 Sept. Just wondering if being a male have any advantage or disadvantage in the whole selection process. Thanks!

I don't think your sex is an issue. I'm at Douglas and there are nearly 10 male students in my current year.
