Hi there, has anyone completed their CPR-hcp requirement yet? I'm going in tomorrow for the class. I've been told that there is an exam at the end of the 8-hr lesson, but wasn't told the format. I was wondering if anyone could tell me the format. I'm extremely nervous about this test because I don't feel like I've prepared sufficiently Thanks!

Did anyone receive the criminal record check info via mail yet?

Hi nursingprogram1, I have a feeling that they'll call you after May 4th because that's the deadline to pay the committment fee for reserving seats.

Thanks for the fast reply jasn! In fact, I just checked and I have received all the information I need. I could finally focus on my exams and graduation instead of checking my status every other hour lol! It feels good to know that I've made it as I've been trying to get into nursing in the last 3 years!!! :) srama, maybe they send out acceptance letters in batches. :: crossing my fingers for you :: x)

Just checked my application status... Provisional Acceptance xDDDDDDDDD I thought that they would send me an email in addition to changing my status on my account. Perhaps a letter is on its way... What to do next? A little confused! I thought there is something called the commitment fee that we have to pay immediately upon acceptance. Does anyone know the deadline to pay? Thanks!

I was wondering if anyone who is already in the program could post their stats (GPA, work/volunteer experiences, what kind of health-related experiences, how many times applied before being accepted etc, etc) so I could use as a reference of comparisions. That's highly appreciated. Thanks in advance!!! :) Also, BCIT said that we should hear back before 4/30. Based on your experience, is it really the last week of April? Anyone know how early do they start sending out acceptance letter?

Hi jd8_lakers, I applied some time around Oct 2009 for the September 2010 intake, and heard back Jan. 2010 that my anticipated intake would be Sept 2013 (I forgot exactly when I was placed on the waitlist... I would say some time in November ). Received another letter last week saying that the Sept 2011 is also full , but my anticipated intake has been moved up to Sept 2012. So that's a big jump for me!

Even though I still have to wait a little while, I finally moved up the waitlist from Sept 2013 to Sept 2012~ That's one WHOLE year! Horray! Anybody heard back yet?

My anticipated start date is Sept. 2013... So it's a 3-yr wait for me. I'm finishing up my first degree this May. Hopefully, I'll get into nursing school elsewhere... I've applied for several schools.

Ohhh no! >. But I'm sure that if you're already 28-29 on the waitlist, it should be your turn very soon! Don't give up :) Also, does anyone what the current status of the langara nursing program is? Did langara start to accept applications again?

When I checked my application status in early Feb, it said rollover. But when I checked today, it's backed to waitlisted. I submited my application in October, so I'm no way near the two-yr waitlist lol.

So the difference between Waitlist Rollover and Waitlisted for Career Program is that those with rollover status should be expected in start in the subsequent term while those with waitlisted status should continue to wait? Thanks!

Can someone explain a bit about the shortlisting? Is that not the same thing as waitlisting? I've read on another forum that someone was shortlisted for Aug session and will guarantee a seat for the Jan session. Isn't that technically keeping a waitlist? ::

Thanks jasn! This is really helpful! I was so worried that I would have to wait until June or July to hear back. That's a relief! oooo and what about the interview? When is it usually held? Thanks again!

I applied for the August intake this year. Will someone inform me when I should expect to hear from BCIT? The earliest and/or the latest? Thanks a bunch!
