This was my first time applying as well. In my resume, I mentioned that I have a BSc in Health Sciences from SFU, over 200 hours of volunteering in the hospital, and 2 retail jobs that I've had. I don't really know if those constitute to any "life e...

sugardust and smiley65: I spoke with financial aid and managed to get a hold of the admissions officer today, so it seems to be sorted out. At least for the time being, I know what I need to do. Thank you for your suggestions!

Side note: I was not aware that upon provisional acceptance, we are to pay level tuition fees in full by November 8, 2012. For me, that's $3300, which I don't have at the moment. I was planning on applying for a student loan later this month once I'...

Hi everyone, Just a heads up, I was notified via email around 5:54 pm yesterday (Nov 5) to check myCommunication. It says I am provisionally accepted. My last name starts with W.

@BulmaBriefs, I sent you a PM :)

And also, the instructions do say that the references should use the reference forms and there is a section for additional comments, I would assume they don't want an extra letter. Just my 2 cents though.

@iheartpurple: But it says we are not to submit more than 2 references. I would assume that means 1 work + 1 volunteer references only. If you have several volunteer ones, I guess you would have to pick a specific one.

@iheartpurple: It says that shortlisted applicants are to submit their reference forms by Oct 31st and that all applicants will be notified of their status by Nov 6. I read the documents over a couple of times in case I missed it, but they didn't men...

Hi everyone, I just got an email (like 10 min ago) saying that I've been shortlisted. So I guess this means we won't have to wait until early Nov to find out whether we've been shortlisted afterall.

If we don't get shortlisted, will they send us a letter or something to let us know? Or is it forever waiting, hoping that you'll be the next batch to hear the good news?

Smiley: Student enrollment and services told me that the deadline is extended to Sept 14 for those who need to take the challenge exam. I am not 100% sure if he means I have up until Sept 14 to do the exam (because that is the last date you can do th...

Smiley: I just checked my application status and it says I'm missing requirements. They didn't accept my proposal of having 2 courses that I've taken at SFU in lieu of the bio 12 requirement (this was what a program advisor suggested) because my bio ...

Hi sourpickle93, I don't see a heading that says Nursing Dept Review Ready. All I have under Student Letter Summary is 2 letters that say Your Next Steps and Application Received...Could it be you have that because they looked at your application al...

Could it be you missed the deadline? That's strange cuz I just checked and I didn't get that an email like that. (I hope I am not speaking too soon) :S But I spoke with the program advisor lady on July 18, she said the admissions dept was just starti...

Thanks snowyivory!

Don't quote me on this, but I talked to one of the bcit advisors and she said that how the initial process goes is that for everyone who applies, first they look to see if you have the minimum 30 (or I guess 60, depending on how competitive the pool ...

That makes sense. Thanks for the thorough reply!

Hi, I am currently preparing my application for the Jan 2013 intake. For those who got shortlisted, did you just submit the form, resume, transcripts for the initial application? After they shortlisted you, then you submit more documents like referen...

I know that LIBS 7001 is critical writing and LIBS 7002 is ethics. Within my undergrad, I have taken 2 English writing classes and other classes that are writing intensive as well as a philosophy class and a health ethics class that specifically deal...
