Congratulations! And yess I agree there is still hope! I also wanted to point out that I am waitlisted AL-44 at UBC for the Fall 2021 intake which is pretty far down. I got ranked in the top 25% for my supplemental application and casper test but my grades were ranked in the top 75%. I think BCIT definitely valued the fact that my degree was pretty much complete but it's crazy how differently both places viewed/ranked my applications.

No problem, I hope it helps someone else! and the email just said to check "my communications."

Thank you! and 4:51 PM

Hi everyone, I just got accepted! I applied with a 3.06 GPA, degree basically done (finished May 2021), experience: co-op at BCCH, work as a BI in a preschool for kids with autism, volunteering in a SFU research lab, and volunteer at the hospital gift shop, and retail experience. Good luck to everyone else!

I emailed UBC Nursing and they said this: For more information on how to submit your final official transcript, please refer to UBC website as your official documents must be delivered/submitted to UBC Enrolment Services. I am an SFU student (SFU will directly email the transcript to UBC) and waitlisted so maybe that's why they told me to refer to the website rather than send it to the email. But I am not sure...

Me too! It's so stressful.

Has anyone's application status changed from "Pending Department Review?"

Hi! I'm waitlisted number 44, my CASPer and supplemental were ranked 1 but grades were a 3. For CASPer, I bought the BeMo casper test prep book which was really helpful for formatting the answers, and then I watched a lot of the multiple mini interviews videos on Youtube. There were also videos of med students, etc. explaining how to answer those types of questions. For my supplemental, I mentioned I will be done my BSc in Behavioural Neuroscience this semester. I talked about my experience as a research assistant at BCCH (I was in contact with patients, shadowed nurses, and communicated with surgeons and other departments). I work as a BI in a preschool program for kids with autism and have 1.5 years of retail experience. Volunteering with a research lab at SFU, hospital gift shop, and an afterschool program for kids. It really sucks that my grades were what got me waitlisted. I thought my GPA was pretty decent, but I think my classes were considered "easy," because they were a lot of Psyc and electives. I hope you get into other schools you applied to! This is super stressful.

Hi! I was just wondering if anyone knows if BCIT had more applications than usual like UBC did? (I heard UBC had about 860).

.

damn im waitlisted number 44 ? I got 3 on my grades but 1 on Casper and supplemental

is it possible they will continue to send more out today?

Mine hasn't updated ?

I started off volunteering at the hospital Gift Shop and with Big Brothers Big Sisters and kind of built off of that. It's definitely hard getting healthcare experience but don't get discouraged! It's good that BCIT is very open with the types of experiences they consider important as well.

Heyyyy, that's my major as well at SFU! It's my last semester right now. I did do a 1-year co-op at BC Children's Hospital as a Research Assistant so I am really hoping that helps. Good luck!
