admission decision from Mohawk/McMaster - RPN to BScN, for Sept 2015?

[tara.lynn]

Hello Everyone!

I am writing to ask whether or not anyone has heard an admission decision (online on OCAS, on MocoMotion, or via good ol' snail mail) from Mohawk/McMaster for the RPN to BScN Bridging program starting September of 2015?

I am ANXIOUSLY awaiting an admission decision, and as evidenced by this post....the wait is absolutely killing me!!! The Mohawk website states that due to the fact that the RPN to BScN program is an oversubscribed program, admission decisions/results will be released "mid to end of March". Inevitably I know I'll receive something that will inform me of their decision, but it seems a little crude to literally wait till the END of March (considering that it's March 29th today).

I have been accepted into the Conestoga/McMaster, George Brown/Trent, and Centennial/Ryerson RPN to BScN Bridging programs....and trust me I am over the moon EXCITED!!!! But I'm still waiting to hear from Mohawk/McMaster.

PLEASE tell me I'm not the only one! (Ahh! lol)

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to make the best decision (or the "most right answer"

Is anyone currently enrolled in any of the above mentioned schools/programs, and have any tips or insight?

Based upon the research that I've found, I have learned about McMasters PBL based learning model and how it is a different learning experience. Also, I have friends in the Centennial/Ryerson Hybrid *almost 5 year part time* program (and they hate it, and complain about the inconsistency and complete disorganization of the program) - so I'm not sure if that is relative/comparable to the full-time program.

Anyways...any helpful feedback would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you!

Question for you. I got my Mohawk acceptance about a month ago, but I have not heard anything from McMaster. Could you tell me how the enrolling process was for you? Was it mainly through Conestoga that you enrolled for all your classes. Or did you need to enroll in classes on the McMaster site (Mosaic) and received your ID for them while simultaneously enrolling for Conestoga classes on the Conestoga site. I am sorry if this sounds confusing, I am not sure if I am wording this correctly. Any help would be appreciated, I am new to the school and not sure what the next steps are at the moment.

You should hear from mcmaster soon. I think I hear around this time last year via email.

I just noticed the comment that says "you need at least an 80% in the RPN program, maybe 85%". I just wanted to clarify that I had a 78% and was accepted the first time I applied and a friend of mine with mid-80% was accepted as well. However, this friend did not get accepted the previous year. I believe the entry essay is heavily weighted in deciding the applicants.

Hi @funnic and to others,

I am planning to apply to the Mohawk McMaster RPN-BScN program maybe in a year or two and I was wondering how you answered the entry essay that the college/university wanted you to do?

I'm in the Conestoga/Mcmaster program. It usually ranges between 83-85%, but can get lower as people get accepted off the wait list!
