If both if you can send me your facebook email address I can add you two. I am not the group admin, therefore, I am unable to approve members.

is anyone not planning on accepting their offer (like if they plan on going somewhere else or differing it for some reason)... just trying to figure out how realistic it is for me to come off the wait list.

it was also the only program i applied to

Hi! Are you able to share what average and volunteer/work experiences you had when you were accepted to this program? I am really nervous applying this year so I would really appreciate it! Thank you ?

Hi, I am really interested in applying to the Nipissing SPP, it's my number 1 choice and I am super nervous about applying!! My top preference is Toronto Public Health and my second preference is UHN.

I just have a few questions if you don't mind answering.

1. What GPA did you have? Does Nipissing only use top 10 from all 4 years?

[I have a really bad 3rd year (65% average) however my cumulative average is 83.97% and my top 10 average is 89.7%. I have some good 3rd year course grades from summer and second year however I am worried they will look at my bad grades in 3rd year and be concerned.]

2. Also what volunteer/work experiences did you have? I am worried most of my experience is mental health/counseling/education related and less medical/healthcare oriented.

I would also appreciate any tips that you can provide.

iirc last year their academic cutoffs were taken from your top 10 of the last 20 courses (basically last two years).

What's most important is how you showcase your unique experiences through your application and interview! Don't worry too much about not having spent too much time in healthcare settings.
