I was wondering about the program for BCIT nautical science. Currently I don’t plan on taking it until maybe 7-10 years later when I’m in my mid to late 20s.
I have some question about the program.

1. How physics and math heavy is it?
   I’m planing to take an online course to get my physics 11 credit. Not the best at math/physics sadly but working on it.

2. What’s the interview like?
   What type of question would be asked?

3. So I heard that many applicants get waitlisted, so I’m wondering since I’m planing to join the navy for a while would that give me a leg up? I understand being a navy technician and nautical science don’t really line up with each other but the longevity of being at sea could?

4. What’s the hardest subjects in the course though out the program?

Not sure if this is exactly the right forum to ask, but for anyone who is from Vancouver bc Canada would you happen to know how getting physics 11 credit would work and how to exactly. I didn’t do physics 11 back in secondary school because I’m quite bad at math and the idea of physics scared me.

Would love to know any advice or how you may have done it. Sorry if this seems rushed thinking about this is just keeping me up.

Can’t really sugar coat it, I believe that I’m not fit enough. I’m honestly surprised how fast my application went through (about 7months) I though I had more time since most people on this sub say it could take atleast a year and there is a lot of waiting but September is coming up pretty soon.

Fitness wise I restarted exercising again back in January this year and currently lost 20lb. It’s only been recently I was able to do 5km in under 30 minutes again (it’s been awhile) but I was able to accomplish it and still keeping this pace going, I can do squats and planks just fine, areas I struggle most are pull ups (3 max) and push ups (14 before slowing down) at where I am right now I doubt I’m physically ready, my upper body strength need a lot of improvement not sure if lifting a lot of weights will be necessary but still an area I need to work on . Does anyone have any exercise tips/routines to help me improve? Or even if it’s possible anyone know what the exercises routine/circuit is like at BMQ so I can further improve on endurance and form?

So long story short struggling to do more then 3 pull ups and 14 pushups any advice or workout routine to help improve would be a blessing.

Ty in advance
