Hi! I'm interested in applying to VCC for the dental hygiene program and was wondering about the competitive GPA. I have already done half of the program's prerequisites and was curious if the program entry is super competitive. If anyone whos already in the program or recently got in I'd love to read more details about their experiences with pre-requisites and the program in general!

So happy to get a letter this week! 🥰 love to meet my some classmates who are in Jan 2023 lPN program!!!

Hello! I am planning to take Network Technology Administration and Security in VCC soon ( probably Sept 2023 or Jan 2024~~ hopefully earlier!!) I am currently based and working in Singapore and I would love to move and study in Canada hopefully in 2024. The reason for delaying it is that I will be having a baby soon! :)

For those who attended/finished the course or in the course. Is it possible to ask what are the things to expect, or any insights about the program? I've been in the Networking and Security industry for 7+ years and done quite a few certifications too. I wanted to do like an advanced learning (read ahead of time or prepare myself) As i think it will save me time to pick up new concepts etc. given that i will become a father soon.

Thank you!

I'm graduating soon from SFU and I haven't applied just yet. I made an advising appointment next week to go over my pre-reqs and I was just wondering if being a graduate helps with getting into the program. Also, how many applicants usually apply for this program?

Hey VCC! 👋

My friends and I are building a free-to-use resource that students and new grads can use to find jobs. The online platform has hundreds of internships and new-grad roles for a variety of fields, and we plan to include curated resources to help propel your career journey. Since we aren’t pros, and this site was built for students like you, it would be awesome if you could roast our site and let us know what we can improve.

Hey! I just got accepted to VCC BScN program and I am just looking for any advice/reviews from anyone in the program. Any insight would be helpful!

I'm currently on the wait list for fall (I hope I get in, applied in early March) and I want to do some pre-studying on my own to give myself an easier time if I get in. To anyone who has since graduated that course is there any reading material or habits that you recommend for me to look into that will best prepare me for the course? Currently I have a few books about human anatomy, surgical procedures, medical terminology, and symptoms and illnesses. Any information on what the course demanded would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!

Hello,

I know BC offers free upgrading of high school courses and that VCC offers self-paced.

Are there any hidden fees associated? (Just doubting that it’s totally free 😅)

Also, how is your experience with the self-paced/online courses?

Thanks!

Hey, I m(23) will be joining VCC in fall 2023. I was looking at places to rent but can't find anything online. If anyone can suggest any website or give any references to me for places to rent, preferably near the campus, would be great. I am an international student and I know close to nothing about Canada so yes any help I get is appreciated. Thanks🥂

Can anyone here give me advice on how to prepare for the Candidate Questionnaire for Dental Hygienists? I have no prior knowledge of this job and I was wondering how to prepare myself for this questionnaire and what was it like?

Hi All! I'm planning to go into nursing and currently doing my pre-requisites in Langara. I'm thinking of applying to the VCC Nursing program as well for extra options.

I'm just wondering how was it trying to get into the program? What was the GPA that got you in? Is it as competitive as Langara? How is it compared to Langara or other nursing programs?

Any other advices will help as well :)

Thank you!

Hi, I am a Japanese international student who is going to study in VCC from the fall 2021.

My major is CST, and now I am looking for students who can join our Discord server. Although it's dedicated to VCC CST program, students from other programs are also welcome too. I was actually looking for decent size VCC discord communities, but as far as I googled, it seems like there were none.

Of course, there are some official communities like Facebook VCC International Education, but we need a place where peer students can get to help and talk to each other much more easily.

Please join our discord server if you are interested in. We are looking for place where VCC students can gather.

Thanks for reading!

Is anyone in the dental hyiene program? I am thinking of doing this program but I am not 100% sure. What is this program like/what has your experience been like. Any info about this program will be helpful, thanks! :)

Hey yall, I applied to dental reception in May and I still haven't gotten a response to my application and the course is supposed to start in September which is 18 days away, I tried calling before to ask why it's taking so long but each time I was told to be patient and that an email will be sent if I get accepted or rejected. I'm starting to feel really anxious especially since September is right around the corner and I haven't heard any sort of response. What do you guys think I should do?

Apologies if this isn’t allowed for any reason but I’m trying to find the best way to sell my copy of Basic Bookkeeping Eighth Edition (most recent). When I took a course at VCC in 2019 I thought there was some manner in which former students could easily sell to upcoming students in place but I can’t find trace of it now.

Any idea when offer letters for Fall intake go out ? Specifically LPN program

My sister applied to the program a month ago.

1. Just wanted to ask when will they let her know if she gets accepted or not? (The website doesn't really have an end date for the application so she was confused about that, even though they already asked for her high school transcript).

2. Should she also apply for the Dental Assisting ONLINE program at VCC? Any pros/cons between the two programs (in-person VS online)?

I have applied to the dental hygiene program at VCC and I have heard it's quite competitive, what would be the competitive gpa in order to get in?

Hey I am enlisted in this course in January 2023 and was looking for any course scheme/text book guide and any help whatsoever...

Anyone here has done (at least the 1st term) the program?

My sister got accepted to the program this Fall and so, just have a few questions about the textbook requirements :)

Thank you!

Hello all,

I was wondering if anyone knew if there was any safe/secured bike parking new the downtown campus.

The neighbourhood the campus is located in is notorious for having bikes stolen and I just got mine so want to be extra careful.

Thanks in advance :)

Hey everyone! I (24M) moved to Canada a few months ago to pursue my masters (mods - I don’t go to VCC so please feel free to remove if it’s against the rules).

I’m looking to develop some good friendships and meet new people. I’m from a tech background (cybersecurity specifically) but do not mind meeting folks from other fields and professions.

I like to go on walks, trying out new cafes and pubs, watching movies. Feel free to hit me up if anyone is interested! I live in the New West area and don’t mind traveling. Thanks!
