   Thanks HartAB, That was really helpful! :) I use modo in Vancouver, but they require a BC License (or out of province abstracts or such that I guess are harder to obtain, so I just assumed all the carshares would be that way). Car2Go seems like a goo...

   @Amigone - Yeah it's a line of credit through a bank. CIBC and RBC both consider nursing to be a professional degree, so you generally get a better deal with them - up to $60,000. I used up all my RESP in my first two years of school, and I'm off tr...

   I hope they won't mind, I sent them an email to see where I can improve for the August 2017 intake. I was also wondering what kind of volunteering everyone does. I have a lot of volunteer experience, but all of it is out of a health care setting. I w...

   Well I got back my status. 'Non-offer', it's kind of heartbreaking. Congratulations to everyone who has been accepted. And good luck to anyone who ends up on the wait-list. Darista, maybe I'll see you next August. ^_^

   I have been checking literally every 5 minutes, I'm almost afraid that they won't be able to update my status because I am on the page so frequently lol.

   Hi Baiyujen/Aaaibra: Aaaibra - I am also pending department review still. Baiyujen - All I know about the nursing program at BCIT is hearsay. I was in the Biotechnology program at BCIT(joint UBC), we had 8 courses in our first semester as well - abou...

    Aaaibra(Your username is a lot more fun than mine...) No sorry, I should have clarified, it still says pending department review. It just makes me feel less anxious to post my issues on here haha. ... It'll only let me post every 15 minutes lol

    I was freaking out in the application status area, and I opened some files and found my mandatory applicant questionnaire to be empty... :/ It must only be part of the final evaluation as I was shortlisted an no one asked me to correct the problem (I...

    I wonder if they'll release grades on the questionnaires onto the D2L, since each question was listed as being out of 6 points. ( See how 'wonderfully' we all did lol)

    Hi Baiyujen: They're pretty good at clearly defining what they want in the questionnaire. For self-regulating, they mostly wanted to know how we managed a stressful situation successfully while still maintaining our personal health. I was feeling anx...
