For English a 85 is an A- will ubc see the A- as an 80?

I got admission acceptance to Langara science associate degree and im thinking to transfer to ubc after one or two years. But i wanna move out and i have strict parents and they are dead set on not letting me move out. So do i go to capilano university instead so i can move out and be able to transfer to ubc kin program? or do i wait and stay at home with parents? The thing they dont let me do anything and its so frustrating living with them.

Has anyone here transferred BCIT prerequisites into Langara’s BSN program and had issues with the grade conversion/evaluation? I’m confused because my BHSC 1200 grade from BCIT was 89% but it was evaluated as an A- at Langara. Meanwhile, my TRU courses were assessed differently where 85% was considered an A and 84% (English course) was an A- (English elective). Anywho, I also know someone from VCC whose 84% stayed an A- and 86% stayed an A during transfer evaluation. Has anyone else experienced this with BCIT transfer credits specifically? How should I go about disputing this? Thank you.

I’m honestly feeling pretty down right now because one of my transfer equivalencies dropped my GPA from a 4.0 outside of Langara to around a 3.8 at Langara due to how the course was evaluated. I’m trying to see how competitive admissions were in past cycles and whether people were still accepted around that range.

Would really appreciate hearing other people’s experiences.

Hello! I’m starting at Langara this upcoming fall semester and wanted to reach out here. I was actually born in Vancouver, but I've lived in Saskatchewan for the last 7ish years. Because of that, I’ve become strangers with a lot of the people I grew up with and lost touch with them so I feel like I’m starting from scratch.

I’m moving back to Vancouver in the next month or so. Leaving my friends here behind is a bit scary. I’m also an older student (I turn 31 in July). I’m studying mathematics and hoping to either switch into the bioinformatics program or the applied math biomathematics stream at SFU. I haven’t fully decided whether I want to stay at Langara for bioinformatics or transfer to SFU yet, so I just picked a versatile major for now.

I’ve had a lot of trouble making friends as an adult since I’m a bit shy in person and not particularly outgoing, so I’m never the type to just approach someone to talk. When I first moved to Saskatchewan, it took me a year or two before I finally found a group of people to spend time with.
I figured it would be interesting, and maybe a bit less awkward tbh, to see if there’s anyone else in this subreddit who is also an older student, or looking for friends after being out of school for a long time!

Especially for the topics, self-studying, since the teacher's materials are somewhat all over the place.

Should I use outside textbooks/YT vids, or the teacher's content? Also how do I know what the test/quiz would look like and what questions there would be on it?

I regret not applying to UBC in my first year. Everyone around me is applying and has gotten in, and now I have huge FOMO. I have to stay at langara for my second year now and then go to ubc and I only have one shot to get in 😭😭😭 thanks for listening:)

Anyone still waiting or have already received their answer from the June 30th message?

I’m a Grade 12 student and I’ve been debating between SFU FASS Econ and Langara for over a month now bc feel attached to UBC. My biggest concern is what happens if the UBC transfer doesn’t work out.

For ppl currently trying to transfer (or who already did), what was your backup plan? Is transferring to SFU Arts still realistic if UBC doesn’t work out?

I also recently saw a post where someone got rejected from UBC Arts transfer with around a 3.6(3.7?) GPA, so it feels like transfers are becoming more competitive too.

I even saw another post where someone declined their SFU offer last year, reapplied this year with improved high school grades, and still got rejected because their grades supposedly weren’t competitive enough. That honestly made me even more nervous about giving up my SFU offer.

Engineering seems safer because of guaranteed transfer agreements, but for Econ/Business I can’t find clear transfer stats, so I’m having a hard time deciding.

Any advice or honest experiences would rlly help.

Just got my acceptance to Spring Nursing 2027 batch this morning at 4 Lmaoo! If any of ya’ll are making a discord group or smthn lemme know!

Did any of you guys also get an email from "Distillation"? I got scared lol

Hello everyone, hope you are doing well..

If you are still waiting for a decision, fyi, I heard back today around 1:50 PM..

I had 21 credits to transfer so both my high school and university courses were evaluated together..

For my last term, I had a gpa of 3.4 but for first 11 credits, I did not do well due to an extenuating circumstance in which I explained for them throughly what the reason was.. I also had 3.65 CGPA for high school.

Therefore, don't loose hope if you haven't still heard back, I wish you guys all the best and hopefully you will hear the great news very soon as well.

Cheers

heyy has anyone had any status alterations from students who did langara prereqs? what i've seen so far is that students coming from different institutions have the status "docs received-under review" but i've seen no news from langara students even those with high gpas. i'm assuming acceptances would start rolling out in june-july? ngl this waiting game is pissing me off

So I did a year at UVIC for social sciences, hated it, and decided to follow my passion and pursue art. I applied as a transfer to Langara and Emily Carr both for Visual arts, I would be a first year at both. I dont currently know what I want to due in terms of a career, and would just like to be able to do art.

I got accepted to both, but before I got accepted to ECU my plan was to go to Langara then transfer to ECU. I heard from someone that they went to Langara, then transferred after the two years, and the difference in skill between them and the other ECU graduates was noticeable, because Langara supposedly has better technical skill building.

If I were to choose langara over ECU right now, I would still plan on transferring to ECU after the two years at Langara is up, so my question is if I should just got to ECU right off the bat, or if langara is better for developing skills first?

Additionally, classes at Langara first year look like more studio classes, whereas the ECU ones seem like a lot of writing. Ones at ECU like HUMN 100 and 101, and FNDT 108 seem like a lot of writing and not a lot of actually doing art. Will I actually be in the studio more at Langara vs ECU?

Hey! To those who have been accepted to the BSN program, when did you find out you were accepted?

Hi everyone!

I already emailed Langara about this but because of the weekend I’m not going to hear back for days! So I thought I would ask the people of Reddit.

So what is the GPA for the exceptionally qualified applicant? And when do people start hearing back? For the exceptionally qualified and for the others?

My account hasn’t been completely updated yet. Just waiting for them to upload my remaining tru grades into the portal.

But my GPA is 3.8!

Any information would be greatly appreciated!

I have been offered admission into the Associate of arts: Commerce and Business studies at langara college for fall 2026 And I just needed some help with courses.

This summer I plan to take pre calculus 12 but I’m worried of not meeting the requirements for Math 1174. If I do not meet those requirements what could I do? Should I take pre calculus 12 in langara? And if this was the case what year would I transfer to, 2 or 3?

Any help is appreciated I am just a little bit lost right now

I am a Grade 12 student deciding between Langara and SFU Arts. How difficult is it to internally transfer from Economics to Beedie? Is it more challenging than transferring from Langara? If I choose Langara, I can apply to four programs: UBC Arts, SFU Beedie, and SFU Arts(maybe also ubc sauder , but too competitive)However, if I fail to get into even SFU Arts, it would be the worst-case scenario since I already have an offer for SFU Arts this fall.

Another concern I have is the social and networking aspect. I’ve heard that university life is as much about networking as it is about grades. I’m worried that if I transfer from Langara later, it might be difficult to integrate into an established community or catch up with networking opportunities compared to students who started at SFU as freshmen. Does being a transfer student put me at a significant disadvantage for networking in uni?

I was wondering when domestic first years apply for courses at Langara (for fall semester)? And if there are any deadlines, fees, or things we need to do besides applying (like forms, or activate stuff?)

Thanks and sorry if it’s a silly question

What are some easy classes at langara that are both goa boosters and transferable?
