Congratulations everyone! I'm so excited to see you all in January!

Not sure if they've updated it by now but from what I've experienced, they usually open/close the program applications on weekdays. (:

I'm assuming so which sucks because I know it's going to be constantly on our minds for the next two days. I also really hope they don't slowly send out the results all the way until the 31st; it's already been torture waiting these last few months.

Maybe but even if that was true, I'm sure that they still have a relatively high ratio of applicants to seats so I think you'd have to be an outstanding applicant for them to consider you for the intake you didn't apply for. I heard that for last April they let in a number of people from January but I'm not 100% sure about that information.

I've applied for January but on the MAQ, I added a note about wanting to be considered for April's intake. I doubt it does anything anyways but it was/is worth a shot to let them know. From what I've heard from people who got carried over to the semester after the one the applied to, they're at the top of the hold list and have a really good overall application, including the quiz ofc.

That's exactly what I thought. I know that depending on the applicant, they'll carry one or two over to the next intake. However, for the most part, they only consider giving seats to the people who applied for that particular semester.

Same for mine as well.

Nope, you don't have to submit reference letters at all, apparently. I asked BCIT the same thing several times throughout this past summer and every advisor I spoke to said that you could include them in your application but admissions would not look at them.

Got shortlisted for January 2019 as well! Congrats to everyone! Now it's time to prepare for the questionnaire so best of luck again!

Totally should have said this earlier but good luck everyone! It's so nerve-wracking waiting for the news, good or bad.

Oh, sorry to worry you but no, that hasn't changed! Starting for 2018 intakes, BCIT stated that any of the A&P courses must have been completed from the Fall 2014 semester onwards. So, it's pretty much the same as the 3 years time limit they had but I know a couple of people who couldn't apply by this August 31st deadline because of that change.

Oh man, you're totally going to get in! You literally tick off all the boxes in each category that they look at! Sigh, I hope so but they usually have 300+ applicants for 64 seats each intake so even with the lack of activity here, I have no clue if that's gonna be a true reflection of reality. ): Maybe the change with the A&P courses have caused a drop in applicants too but until the deadline, we really have no clue. ):

Thanks for the info, aaaibra! Hopefully we get to experience that acceptance joy soon. (: When you say they factor in high GPA, is it cumulative GPA or just the academic foundations courses? I've been getting so many mixed answers, even from advisors. ):

Oh good luck! I'm sure you'll do well. (: I haven't applied yet either but I'm so anxious about it! This forum hasn't had a lot of activity as compared to previous ones so I'm curious about how many people are applying for this intake.

Has anyone submitted their application yet?
