Langara Fall 2016 Intake

AndreaS22 · Feb 26, 2016

3.67 according to their GPA Scale :-(

I know I was so saddddd, then the guys like its not 100% but typically B- and lower will not get a letter of acceptance. BUT we should still have some hope, i think some will be wait listed because some people apply to different schools, for example most want to attend bcit but will also apply to langara. If they drop out, then a seat becomes available. So fingers crossed!!

Well, if everyone here who gets accepted can post their GPA, then we'd all have an idea of what to shoot for. Just wondering how long people on this thread have taken to do their prerequisites, and have been wait listed, then not gotten in? Also, does it matter if the first time you do a course, you get a C, but the second time, you get an A-; they just take your better grade and disregard the other, right? Or, do they look at your overall GPA, including repeat courses which will lower your overall GPA.

just wondering if the calculation is only on the best grades of the 5 courses?

They do take your better mark for repeated courses

Does anyone have any news?

Nope! Still waiting, impatiently!

I emailed to ask what the gpa cut off was this intake yesterday to try to settle my nerves and the response said they hadn't begun the selection process yet so they unfortunately couldn't tell me what that was. If we haven't gotten an update by March 17, then we can email again for an update....

Thanks for the news tinaaa :) then i suppose we can kick back and wait some more seeing as they haven't begun the selection! On the other hand this might be good for bcit applicants since now the offers might go out around the same time.

That's so frustrating! I was hoping that they would have things sorted and be sending out offers by next week. I can't wait any longer!

I'm selfishly hoping that people that applied to multiple schools take their acceptance offers there. Lol I stupidly put "all my eggs in one basket" so to speak, so the more people that go elsewhere the better since it sounds like there are SO many people with incredible gpas applying this intake to langara.

I'm surprised because I remember back when they just changed the pre-req's and people were being accepted with really low GPA's... they even extended the deadline! It seems to be getting more and more competitive every intake, makes sense though... Gah.

I remember that too, haedis. I was working on my prerequisites then and many of my classmates with C+ in all their prerequisites were being accepted. Oh how times have changed lol.
