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
Hi, for those going to UofT, how are you guys sending your transcripts? Through a request on OUAC or through your school? I'm from Western FYI. Thanks!
I am an out-of-province student, so I sent mine through my school. It shows as received on the applicant status portal.
When all offers have been sent out and there's no more spaces, they'll send out an email about whether you have been rejected or wait-listed. That's pretty much when we'll know that they're all done
Got rejected from Mac this morning for not presenting all of their mandatory courses as my statistics course wasn’t equivalent to theirs but it was equivalent to westerns. I was sad because it’s my first choice and I’m not sure if I wanna go to Western. IDK if I should take a year off and reapply after taking that stats course or just go to western. I really don’t know much about their nursing program, if someone could provide any insight I would greatly appreciate it!

I say this in the most sincere way possible but this isn't worth it for a nursing degree. Why would you waste a whole year bc you didn't get into Mac nursing over a course requirement? Go to Western and finish your accelerated degree. You can work anywhere in Ontario with a BScN.

Yes- workplaces are much more concerned with whether or not you passed your NCLEX rather than what school you went to. Unless you have some huge hesitation with accepting Western, I would take it! Besides, even if you take stats, no guarantee Mac accepts you next year.
What are your concerns with Western vs Mac? Or Western in general?? Western is a 19-month compressed program and you have clinical placement in your 3rd, 4th and 5th semesters. I know a lot of Western programs use case-based approach to learning. Nursing doesn't explicitly say they use this but its a big thing for many Western programs so I wouldn't be surprised if it crept its way in. London also has a lot of world class teaching hospitals you'll be completing clinical placements at. The nursing website does a great job of breaking down the program further and if you have any specific questions I would encourage you to email them!! They've been super approachable from my experience!

tbh it's not even worth it for any degree even med bc you honestly should take whatever opportunity comes, we are not guaranteed anything. Also McMaster's PBL styling of learning is hit or miss with its students some love it and some absolutely despise it.
