Is there no hope??

Published

I finish my high school in june 2014 and for some reason I didnt go to college or uni. I just wasted my time working part time in a restaurant. This time I have applied to pn program in Ontario colleges and my hs marks are really low but is it still any chances for me to get in or there is no hope? Have any one got into pn program with low grade?

If in doubt, or you don't get accepted this first application, upgrade your grade 12 marks. I re-did my grade 12 biology and chemistry because they were over 25 years old when I applied.

I know someone who works in the registrars office at a ON college, who mentioned that due to the volume of applicants you have a better change of getting into the BScN program then PN program. All of the nursing programs are very competitive in ON. However there is always hope, you may get wait-listed. If you don't get you have options: upgrading high school courses, many colleges offer a 1 year health sciences program that often promise graduates admission to nursing if they get certain grades or you could do the PSW program at a college that has nursing and then either do a bridge program or use your grades as evidence of your ability to get good grades. I know people you have done it all of the above ways.

Best of luck

You could always try getting into pre health or general arts - science stream, if you don't get in. Hard course work- to be expected, but worth it if you put the time in
