acceptance to accelerated programs in ON

boxxyrn · Apr 3, 2012

Sigh..boxxyrn, I am completely in the same boat with the whole "degree holder preference" thing. It is the most nerve-racking experience I think I've ever had. :uhoh21:
Does anyone know if they send rejection letters? Because if they do, that would mean I'm still good enough for consideration, which would be just enough hope to keep me going.

Augh I know..they do send out rejections yeah, but not until June lol. Such a tease of a school! Like "let's give them a glimpse of hope and then crush them 2 months later". Oh, U of T. Did you get accepted anywhere else?

Congrats, smkim24!! Are you going to accept? U of T is the only place I applied to so that's where I'll be going. It took a few days before the "Join U of T" page was updated to "accepted". Now I'm anxiously awaiting the letter to arrive in the mail so that I can accept the offer!
Ess_bee, there's still lots of time - from U of T at least, til June!! Hang in there. When is your interview at UBC?

Yes it took about a day for the uoft page updated to "Accepted" for me. On the email, it says I have two weeks to accept the offer or they will give my place to somebody else on the waiting list. Your mail hasn't come yet? I was expecting it today, but nothing.

I heard back in March. Perhaps give the nursing office a call? The advisor is quite nice :).

Good luck!!!

Smkim24 - have you received your letter yet?? Mine hasn't come (it's been over a week) and I'm getting antsy!!

Unfortunately I threw all my eggs in one basket and only applied to U of T. I put their Health Sciences program down as my 2nd choice- If I must get an under grad before I get into Nursing then so be it.

Did you apply anywhere else?

I received a conditional offer from them a month ago and I have until June 1st to accept it.

i haven't gotten my letter yet, i am also getting very impatient and anxious about it. the ouac website doesn't even show any decision, how can i accept their offer if there's nothing to accept officially? they gave me just two weeks? (but according to the email, it says two weeks after the "official" date of acceptance? what does that mean!!)

congrats! well honestly i think it depends on what grad program you are planning to go into. i also did another post-grad type program after my undergrad, but i feel at least with a bachelor of science in nursing, it's not a completely "useless" undergrad. you get some real usable skills to put on a resume, and more direct clinical experience as opposed to just research in a lab. my first undergrad was a b.sc, that seems to be useless these days in getting any kind of job!
