Just wondering if anyone has thought about applying for the Jan 2018 intake yet? I'm finishing up my second A&P credit, as well as Stats, and currently am sitting at a 3.5 GPA with the 2 English and 1st A&P prereqs. Worst case, with the two final classes, it will drop down to between 3.4-3.3. I do have a Bachelor's in Psych and English, but my GPA from that was far less than stellar, so I'm hoping they don't look into those grades at all.
I'm panicking a bit though, as I don't have many options aside from Langara. I didn't plan on nursing at all up until like last year (hooray for useless Arts Degrees), so I don't have volunteer hours or any of the high school pre-reqs like Chem and Math. Also, I can't afford to wait any longer to get this going.
Does anyone know the GPA cutoff for the last few intakes? I keep reading that nothing less than 3.6 will get in, and if by some miracle I ace Stats and A&P II, I'll barely hit that at 3.67.
I hope that the presence of a degree will help but this high GPA cutoff has me really nervous.
Hey guys! I just got an email this morning as well (I have a previous degree). Can't wait to meet you guys and good luck to everyone waiting for a response.
I got the acceptance email this afternoon. The email is asking me to confirm my spot. I have 44 credits with a GPA of 3.66. If within the 5 required courses, it will go up to 3.73. I do not have a degree. I do not think it is very important as long as your gpa of the 5 required courses is high enough. Also, I have taken quite a bit of math and chemistry courses.
I got accepted with 3.6 on the prereqs (I died taking those english courses) and 3.86 on 40 credits. Just happy because I wouldn't know what to do for another year. I didn't, however, get any sort of email.
If I or someone else will start a facebook page, I'd be glad to post some of the docs for the five courses of the 1st semester so you guys can have a feel of what it'll be like. 1st semester is mainly nursing theory (i.e., nursing fundamentals) while the second focuses more on pathophysiology/biology/pharma.
All the best for everyone! (Hey, don't lose hope if you weren't accepted yet: June/July just ain't over).
