Hi Medses,

I just got my acceptance for the Winter Term. I still have to call the Registrar's Office for more info. I'll keep you posted.

Thank you NarsOttawa,

And good luck in your studies!â˜º

Well my Timetable is out. I have 6 courses for the term and most of the theory classes last about 2-3hours max. 1 Lab as well. Clinicals are two days. So, my week is packed. 5x a week.

Hi NarsOttawa,

Thanks for the update! How are your studies going so far?

When you say 2-3hours max - is it 2-3 hours a day in total or 2-3 hours a day per class?

How many hours a day do you usually spend in Algonquin and how many hours in Clinical?

I guess my question is: how many hours a day are you occupied with your studies?

Hi Medses,

School is great. Some of my classes are 3 hours, 2 if which are in class and 1 hour is online. It's hybrid. Clinicals are 6.5 hours and lab is 2 hours. It's fun for now. I hear our Level 02 would be hectic, but I'm surviving so far!!

I am glad you like it so far! :up:

Also are there are any older students in your program or all students are right of the high school?

NarsOttawa · Jan 28, 2016

Yes, there are. Lots, actually. About 60% of the class. Are you applying for the program?

Medses1 · Jan 28, 2016

Yes, I applied for Sep 2016, waiting ( hopefully) to be accepted),,,

Hello,

Does anyone know approximately the grade average cut off for AC RPN program?

I think I'm letting my nerves get the best of me after reading a few threads on here. Thanks in advance! :)

Quiet a few of the students in my program are from the Pre-health/Pre-nursing and they needed a 3.6GPA to be able to get in.

For me, my high school average wasn't that great (B+) but I did excellent on the HOAE test and got in. I think at the time I applied, the average was around 70% (as listed on the AC website) but of course, the average cut-off goes up depending on the number of applicants.

I'm sure you will get in, good luck!
