   For those who are wondering what it takes to get a UofT acceptance these days (got mine last week:)), I believe they would have calculated my GPA on the last ten credits as 3.7 (on a 4.3 scale). My just-completed undergrad is in health studies and I ...

   I just received an acceptance from UofT by email! This means I will be freeing up my spot at Queen's. The program at Queen's is awesome but finances are a big issue for me and I can live at home if I go to UofT. Good luck to everyone. The people goin...

   I received my first offer this week - from Queen's. So happy to know that I will be studying nursing starting September! Love the uni, the program and the idea of continuing to volunteer with some organizations there but still tempted by the savings ...

   Thank you @student283 for being so open. I'm freaking out - all these applicants with masters degrees and some of them it appears didn't even get an offer in UofT's first round last week. I didn't realize how competitive this was going to be.

   I applied to Queen's and UWO but haven't received an offer from either of them. From this forum I see that other people have, so I'm assuming I wasn't in on the first round and must now keep my fingers crossed for the next smaller rounds. I also app...

   Congratulations @phoebeisphat and thanks for sharing. The reply deadlines - what??? So if UofT is your first choice and Queen's is your second, you're gonna have to make a decision on Queen's before you hear from UofT???

   Thanks for sharing this @fingers-crossed. I didn't apply to UOttawa but it's really useful information for those that did or who may be thinking of trying there next year.

    I got the same email from UofT. I thought I'd read in a forum somewhere that in other years applicants received offers earlier than April. I don't know if this means they using a different system this year or maybe they just want to make sure applica...

    Hi would-be nursing fast trackers! Thank you for starting this thread. I applied to UofT, Queen's and Western with a soon-to-be-completed undergrad and what I think is a fine selection of volunteer and paid healthcare work experiences. Has anyone rec...
