Hi everyone. Last year I applied to 2 schools for nursing and got rejected because my average was at 76%. I am now upgrading my marks. But I was wondering if there are school in Canada (preferably ontario or alberta) that have lower average for the BSCN program.Thanks ,Jamie

I ahve heard that York is a bit easier to get into than others. You may have more luck if you can improve your average. Good luck.

I don't think there is any chance of getting into any BScN program with anything below maybe an 83% ish? And I would say that is probably on the lowest end.
evankeys 4 Posts Apr 7, 2016 This may be late for you now but I have done recruitment for the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT) for the past few years and can attest that our BScN acceptance average is in the mid to high 80s (85-88) as of 2016.
