2nd entry programs


Does anyone know which 2nd entry programs in Ontario are the hardest to get into and the easiest? I am in my first year of a 4 year nursing degree at Dalhousie but would like to switch to a 2 year program. I already have a degree (BA) and would have liked to have just started the 2 year degree right from the start, but I was missing pre-requisites. And now the thought of going for 3 more years when I could be doing 2 seems too much! If anyone has any info. about this I would greatly appreciate it

Not sure of the descending order of difficulty to get accepted into a program, but I imagine U of T is the most difficult. Acceptance into the program depends on the number and quality of applicants.

basic eligibility is listed in the table below

Are you still missing credits? The pre-requisites and minimum GPAs vary greatly between the programs.

I'm am also not sure of the order of difficulty to get accepted, but I think you should factor in how large each program is. University of Toronto has about 150-180 students in their program while I've heard that the Queen's AST program has a much smaller class of 30-40.
