Its that time of year again, and I'm already gearing up for compressed nursing applications! I figured I'd get the ball rolling so that we can all shed a little light on admissions/GPA/supplementary information we each find out, and to ask questions, to help each other through this stressful process!
I am a Kin Grad from UW, and will be applying to Western, McMaster, York, Trent and Queens accelerated nursing programs. I've enrolled as a post-grad at UW this year to pick up some pre-req's such as microbiology and philosophy for York, and a 0.5 credit psych course.
Last year I applied late March to Trent (it was the only application still open), and was accepted. However, I decided to wait another year and see if I can go to school closer to home (Waterloo). My cGPA is 76%, and last two years is 88% (this will be more helpful for comparisons once admissions decisions come around!)
So far I have learned:
- avoid taking the York microbiology course offered online - apparently it is confusing and terribly hard
- 6.0 credits and 3.0 credits are equivalent to 1.0 and 0.5 credits, respectively
- make sure you take biology 230 and 235 through Athabasca to really, really, really cover your bases (noted on the 2014 second-entry forum)
So I applied to UWO, U of T and Queens! I got into Queens about a month ago and now I am just waiting to hear from the rest. I accepted the Queens one but the other two are higher on my list. Good luck to everyone!
Hey everyone, I applied to Western, U of T, and Queen's AST, I got an offer from Queen's and accepted it to secure my spot there but am still waiting to hear back from Western and U of T. Does anybody have any advice or opinions about Queens vs U of T, those are my top choices and I can't decide!
Just checking - has anyone got accepted to U of T yet? I know the email said April but just wanted to ask!!!
Hi everyone, I've read that some individuals got their acceptance emails from U of T around the 19th to the 25th of March in other forms posted last year, so I assume that the first wave of acceptance will happen soon. I also got accepted into Trent around the 27th of February, but I'm anxiously awaiting for U of T/ York/Queens and Ryerson's response. But I'm now doubting I'll get into Queens. Also, people waiting for York's response should know that their admission decision may be slightly delayed due to the strike. ( It was posted on their website).
Congrats to the individuals who got accepted so far, and good luck to everyone!
Has anyone called Western to ask what the current percentage is that they are sending out admission to? I know people called in last year and then posted the results on this forum. I am too shy on the phone to do it.
Was accepted to York a few days ago in addition to Western.. still waiting for Mac. They really only start in a month from now - I can't help but stress since its my #1 choice by a landslide. Fingers crossed!!
GPA in last ten units was 89% and about 78% cGPA for those who are wondering.

If I calculated corrected it was 3.32 and I saw it on my Humbers website.
I heard that this year the acceptance GPA was raised to 3.5 based on the GPAs of everyone who applied.
I've talked to Claire before, she is very helpful. I will give her a call tomorrow.
