Hello all, Just starting a thread here for any applicants to the 2nd Entry Nursing Program for U of T, York, and Mac.
People can:
-ask questions and/or post when they have received an offer of admission or rejection
-share their marks/volunteer experience
-support each other during the super stressful waiting game
-discuss application issues, essay questions, prerequisites, etc.
There was one last year and I found it super helpful to see what others were doing, when offers were going out, and which candidates were selected. It's also a good reference for next year's potential applicants.
For myself, I have applied to U of T, Mac, York, and Dalhousie, with an A- or 3.66 GPA overall and 3.63 in my last 30 credits (10 half courses or 5 whole courses). I do not hold a Bachelor degree, but am in 3rd year at York's Honours BA Psychology, and hold an Associate of Arts from Langara College in BC. I have several years experience volunteering for an inner-city after-school program, for a crisis intervention phone line, and with fundraising.
Last year I was rejected from U of T with 3.53 in the last 30 credits, and only 2 years post-secondary. I had a C+ in one of my reported pre-requisites.
Hope this helps everyone and best of luck to you all!!
I think all schools are pretty fair in their placements and I do not believe one is better than the others. I attended an information session and I know they do try to give students what they choose and what is also closest to their residential area so students are spread all over
I'm thrilled that someone decided to put in the grunt work and start this thread, it's a great reference point for many of us that
are anxiously awaiting an acceptance letter to the nursing program of our choice. Has anyone heard back from U of T?
There's a bit of confusion on my part as to when offers will be sent out because their website says one thing and the letter confirming the receipt of my application says another. Given that some universities are sending out offers earlier than expected, I'm hoping that U of T will do the same, so if anyone out there has received the great news, please let us know. Best of luck to all of you!!!
UfT says on their website and in the e-mail that offers will start in April and go until June. Maybe you looked at the wrong part of the site? They will come, just be patient.
I got an acceptance email from UofT this afternoon! I also called Denice Litzan at UWO and found out that they have already accepted me there as well - she said I'll get my acceptance letter sometime next week. I've been anxiously checking these forums for weeks, and it's been really helpful so I thought I'd sign up and stop lurking.
I'm in my fourth year at UofT, my cGPA is a 3.91 and my GPA is 3.97 in my last 5 full credits (88.5% in my last 10 credits for Western applicants). I'm still waiting on Mac at the moment, but I know they send out acceptances a little later on.
