Accelerated Nursing 2024 - Deciding Factor

Hello, 

I know there's a previous post where people posted what universities they applied to and when they received  admissions, but I would like to know how you determined which offer you would accept among your choices? What are the factors for why you're choosing one school over the other? 
 

So far I have an admission from York, McMaster and Western. My McMaster's offer is expiring soon so I will probably accept that but I'm not sure if it's the right choice. I'm still waiting on a response from UofT and Queens but I'm not sure which uni would be best for me among my options. 
 

I would choose UofT for placements but then 2nd best for placements would be York. However, McMaster is more prestigious over York, but I also want to go to a school where I can obtain a high GPA (Ofcourse working hard for it) but also knowing it's attainable and doesn't require a genius to receive close to a 4.0. All the schools seem really good so I'm having trouble eliminating my options. 
 

Please share any advice and suggestions you may have!

    I'm guessing you picked your school already but for anyone who just happens to have a similar question heres my two cent. 

    We all put alot of emphasis in choosing the right school but in the end it doesn't really matter. No matter which school you choose there's very little difference in the content that they teach. All schools have good and bad profs.

    I would say choose the closest one so that your commute won't be long and that you can stay at home to save money. 

    UofT is a good choice if you're interested in paeds since they have a partnership with Sick Kids and you will get weekly placement there in your placement rotation. 

    At my workplace there is a variety of educational background. They place more on your experiences such as where did you do your placements and consolidation as well as your critical thinking skills when determining if they want to hire you.

    Thanks for the reply!
