new to reddit so bear with me😭
I was rejected from bcit nursing for January 2027 intake, (4.21 gpa but low credits). after reading about how they prefer high credits/applicants with bachelor’s, I don’t have high hopes for the upcoming intakes as I have not been taking additional courses to focus on work and save up money (a mistake in hindsight lol). I could still apply for april 2027 and september 2027, but won’t have additional credits fully completed by their application deadlines, so I don’t think my odds are good. I’m pretty discouraged, but trying to explore other options.
my next program choices are Langara and KPU.
I already meet kpu’s requirements, so I applied for september 2027. I would have to apply for langara january 2028 intake as I’m missing 2 of their prereqs, which I will take in winter.
If i do get accepted to kpu in fall 2027, im not sure if i should take the seat or wait and try for langara instead?
I feel like I’ve wasted time and want to start asap, but I also want to choose a program I’m happy with.
I’ve heard good things about Langara, but I haven’t seen as much recent discussion about kpu’s nursing program, so I’d love to hear from anyone who’s currently in either program or has experience with them.
Is there a big difference between the two programs in terms of the learning experience, clinical placements, or overall reputation?
do you think waiting an extra 4 months for langara is worth it, or would you accept a kpu offer if you got one?
any advice or insight would be appreciated! :)
