Hi there! I'm hoping to get into a Ontario University in the fall for a Collaborative BScN program. (Western-Fansahwe)
I am applying as a "mature" or non-secondary school applicant, with a one year Pre-health certificate program.
My question is how many seats are typically reserved for these applicants (in my case, out of 125 total)?
I am also wondering if the admission criteria is different and if post secondary experience gives us an advantage?
I would appreciate anyone's response or opinion.
Thank you!

Every school is different, but regardless of your mature student status, all schools admit based on the grades you've achieved in the pre-health or prerequisites. The expectations are high, and competitive for all applicants. I also entered as a mature student. Except for options that I was later afforded with my clinical practicums, being a mature student does not guarantee admission or an advantage in the nursing program.
