Only thing is that most of these schools such as UFV and CNC only take grade 11 math...

Thank you so much this was very helpful! I was wondering did you take Foundations Math 11 before taking Foundations 12?

Congratulations to everyone that got in!! For clarification, for those that got in, all of you applied with straight As and healthcare experience?

Do they take your mixed final grade for English 12 with the provincial exam or without?

What's the CASPer exam like? Any tips?

Is anybody applying to the Nursing program at BCIT? Please discuss what type of marks you will be applying with and any other experience you'll be including with your application Also, how is the Casper examination? Whats that process like?

Also, what kind of grades did you have when applying to both schools with your high school marks and pre-requisites, if you don't mind sharing. Any other experience that you may have had which made you stand out?

Ok sounds good I will definitely look into applying to both schools for the next intake. Congratulations for getting accepted! ?

Is there still chances of getting in if you don't already hold a degree from a recognized university? What kind of grades did most of you have in each pre-requisite? I have mostly B's in mine. I also have a lot of work experience as an HCA for over 2 years now so I'm wondering if that would be good enough?

For BCIT I have heard that it's close to impossible to get in if you don't already hold a bachelors in something because it is that competitive. It was initially my 1st choice because it has a great nursing program and it close to home but because of that and the fact that I still have AP 2 to get through, I haven't applied there. For Langara, I have talked to the advisers and I know some people who have applied and are on waitlists that are going for as long as 3-4 years. However, for September I will have more choices because of all these schools outside of the province and city too that don't have wait lists so theres higher chances of getting in.

That really sucks if they're taking the blended grade because just like one of you mentioned, the provincial also brought me from an 86 to a 74. The rest of the classes I had high B's in as well but I still applied just for the sake of it. I am planning to retake most of them to use in the next intake if I don't get in which I feel I won't based off of competition; however, I am taking AP 2 next semester which may make it difficult to do so. Have any of you applied anywhere else? I feel like most schools only have intakes for September.

Yes that is true! They do only take which ever mark is higher for your English. Talked to an adviser specifically for clarification on this. Good luck everyone! :)

Thanks for the suggestion. I definitely will look into it.

I was wondering if the Nursing program is a collaboration where the first two years are done at CNC and the last two at UNBC? Is there no fast track option at all especially if you've taken some courses already such as A&P, Psych, Stats, as well as a care aide program? Also, has anyone applied? What is a good enough GPA to apply with for high school courses?

I will talk to the adviser again to get that clarified. And yes, I don't think so either. At this point I'd just love to get into a nursing program regardless of where it is.
