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.
Glen, I have a 3.34 and was just wondering if you have a degree? Cause I haven't gotten acceptance yet :3
Hi, did you repeat any of the 5 prereq courses? If so, I was told that this is taken into account when comparing 2 students who have similar GPAs. Having to repeat courses to improve a GPA as well as how long one takes to do the 5 courses or course load also affects your final standing in where you sit compared to other applicants. I know - sucks, but competition is fierce.
I was put on the waitlist for Sept 2017 intake however I knew my GPA was a bit low as I applied with a 3.33 and took two english courses again to upgrade and got B+ in both courses and boosted my GPA a little bit to a 3.58...hoping this will be enough for this intake!
When you were put on the waitlist, did you get any updates from Langara or were you just suspended waiting until the first day of class started, and you were removed. Did you just apply for the next intake right away or what's the procedure for those on the waitlist waiting pls?

No I did not get any updates, the email said I would be notified if a spot opens otherwise they said to re-apply for the next intake. I am still currently on the waitlist and the advisor said if I do get an offer for the Sept 2017 intake, I have a choice between which intake I would like to start, of course if I got an offer for the Sept intake, I would choose to start earlier but currently I have accepted my offer for this intake. When I applied for the Sept 2017 intake, I was already retaking two English courses since I knew my GPA was low for the Sept 2017 intake and when I finished my two English courses, I reapplied for the Jan 2018 intake when my final grades came out!
It's just a waiting game if you are on the waitlist and it might be good to retake some courses to boost your chances as the Sept intakes have a higher GPA cutoff from what I've read and heard!

Hi! Yeah, I repeated Stats and a Bio. This waiting is killing me.
