2nd entry programs

[Aimee_38]

Does anyone know which 2nd entry programs in Ontario are the hardest to get into and the easiest? I am in my first year of a 4 year nursing degree at Dalhousie but would like to switch to a 2 year program. I already have a degree (BA) and would have liked to have just started the 2 year degree right from the start, but I was missing pre-requisites. And now the thought of going for 3 more years when I could be doing 2 seems too much! If anyone has any info. about this I would greatly appreciate it :)

Not sure of the descending order of difficulty to get accepted into a program, but I imagine U of T is the most difficult. Acceptance into the program depends on the number and quality of applicants.

basic eligibility is listed in the table below

Also try asking your question on the canadian nursing students association website

Are you still missing credits? The pre-requisites and minimum GPAs vary greatly between the programs.

I'm am also not sure of the order of difficulty to get accepted, but I think you should factor in how large each program is. University of Toronto has about 150-180 students in their program while I've heard that the Queen's AST program has a much smaller class of 30-40.
