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!!
Thank you all! I will likely be declining the offer from UofT as soon as I have a concrete acceptance letter from UWO. Hopefully UofT starts sending out some more acceptances soon!
I received an offer from York and Western on February 28th. My York offer just expired as of yesterday so hopefully that will open up a spot for one of you! I have tentatively accepted at Western as of last Friday (My offer expires March 22). I know it was up for previous debate earlier about OUAC and the cancelation of acceptances. I panicked when I saw this as well and called OUAC to confirm. Accepting at another university will NOT cancel your other applications- that wouldn't be fair since we paid to apply to all schools. You just cannot accept more than one school at once. So lets say I accepted Western- but then received an offer at Mac and wanted to change my mind- I could go on OUAC and cancel western and then accept Mac :) We have until June 3 I believe to change around if more offers come in! The only way you would loose an acceptance is if you missed the deadline for confirming the acceptance.
I also received an offer from Western yesterday. Average of last 10 credits was 87%, and I will most likely be accepting this offer! Is anyone else set on going to Western?
I cannot tell you my exact average in percent unfortunately as my undergraduate school Wilfrid Laurier University uses letter grades. However, I can tell you my letter grades and hopefully that will help! Anatomy: A-, Physiology 1: A, Physiology 2: currently completing, Statistics: A+, and then I believe aside from those required prerequisites they take your last 7 credits is it? Aside from those courses, my last 7 credits included 5 A+'s and 2 A's. These are a mix of Biology and Elective courses as I am a 4 year honours biology program right now and will be graduating in April.
I applied to U of T, York, Western, Mac, Queen's, UBC and U Alberta :) I have only received another offer from York and Western to date! Tentatively I have selected Western and I love the way the program is set up, and can be completed in only 19 months. :)
Sure, my final year GPA was 3.91/2ish..(can't remember). My prerequisite courses required for UT, I had grades of: anatomy/physiology A-/B, statistics A-, humanities A/B+, life sciences A/A, social sciences A-/A. Hope this helps.
