High school student has question (British Columbia)

katty24 · May 2, 2016

what highschool did you graduate from? and what exactly is your average?

I think UFV in your only option.

Oh & Trinity Western (if Christian faith based program would work for you)

TRU and UBC-O are the other big ones still accepting direct entry from high school. (on the mainland, anyway. I think there might be some on the island but I'm not familiar with those)

For BCIT, Langara, Douglas etc you'd need to do the foundation programs & for UBC you need a minimum of 2 years post-sec done. ..

Kwantlen had direct entry but they're under revision & my guess is they'll come back with a program more similar to Douglas/BCIT/Langara/ VCC (ie, no direct entry from high school) when they re-open but that's just a guess.

I think all you can do is try to get as high grades as possible, round out your application and have a back up plan. It's not unusual for people to have to apply several times before getting in so you might as well have a back up plan, such as going to UFV, Kwantlen etc and doing your foundations courses / working on an Associates degree.

Yeah, I heard Kwantlen is going to have 1+3 year structure.

Hey op, Kwantlen is finally up & running. yup, it's 1+3

Admission this year is only to the foundations program & it appears to accept direct from high school.

Intake for the BSN will not be until next year & will accept 32 students. It also really sounds like only people who took foundations at KPU will be considered.
