I just wanted to make a post as we enter the new academic year, and more importantly the next admission cycle. Hopefully through this post we can all share our admission experiences, concerns, and achievements.
To begin with, I am currently a University of Toronto student completing my final year! I am hoping to apply to UBC, UofT, Nipissing, Western, and Trent. Just waiting on applications to open up! I am slightly worried I may not get in because admission is so competitive, and seeing those with 3.9+ not get in can be very scary.
How about you? Are you excited for the new school year? Any concerns for the admission process? Let's get through this together
Not sure if anyone has any info on this, but in the info package that nipissing sent out to applicants, they stated that graduate course grades would be included in the calculation of GPA, so that’s how I calculated my GPA. Now I’m worried that maybe they changed their policies or something as I still haven’t heard anything back. Thanks in advance ?
Honestly if you haven’t been waitlisted yet and you have competitive stats and scored in the top Casper your acceptance is probably coming. It seems like a lot of people who weren’t waitlisted yesterday got accepted today. And as we saw all the acceptances didn’t come out at the same time so I would stay hopeful for later today or tomorrow!! Also make sure you’re counting FCE - courses that run September to April. September- December and January- April are half course equivalency therefore Nipissing would take your top 20
Thanks so much for the positivity! I’m hopeful that I’ll get accepted or wait listed, I am 99% certain I calculated my GPA the right way only including FCEs from September to April, but just wanted to know if anyone had info on grad courses.

Yes to this! I got a little worried yesterday and emailed admissions asking if yesterday's were all the acceptances they sent out, and they replied saying they were updating statuses really slowly so by beginning of April (I assume Friday) everyone that's accepted should know LOL
Does anybody know if the SPP provides the qualifications to go onto a Nurse Practitioner Program? I am worried that it does not provide enough graded courses.

From what I understand it definitely allows you to do any Master's degree program you want, including NP programs. The only thing is, the GPA calculation for admission into those programs might include some of your undergrad grades (if I'm not mistaken).

I'm curious about the same thing! please let me know if you find out any information

No idea.But, I'd definitely like to know the answer for this as well. I don't want my undergrad GPA from non-nursing degree to be factored in when applying to NP programs simply because it is not competitive.

It provides 3 a semester for 6 semester so 18 grades. 2 years at 5 courses a semester would be 20. It says on their website many students go on to do masters and NP
