Anyone applying to NP school in Ontario for the year 2025?

Would love to have a discussion started for acceptances, etc.

Does York University only offer in person classes? I thought the classes were online. 

York is online like UofT. The risk is they go strike again anytime LOL

It says on their website that out of their 7 PHCNP courses, two are offered online, four require seminar attendance at York. Unless they changed it?

I got a full scholarship to YorkU so now I don't know if I should accept UofT versus YorkU. 35K+ or free tuition. Online versus in person. I know UofT hasn't released their scholarship information yet- anyone know if UofT offers good scholarships?

UofT is 35k? 

Specializes in ER, Trauma.

Just to clarify, UofT is not 100% online, similar to the York program they require several week-long residencies throughout the program!

Maybe for that person. It's around $24k

Congrats! That's a tough decision to make. Full scholarship would help ease any financial stress so you can focus on the program instead of working full time. I'm sticking with UofT because of the online nature. I believe at York, you have to go in person every 2 weeks. Correct me if I'm wrong.

That is amazing! As much as we like to think it makes a difference the prestige of a university does not make significant differences. I have known people who have done both NP programs and both working successful jobs. Additionally, I have known multiple MDs that have gone to various medical schools and now all work in the same place doing the same job! There are incentives though if you choose to practice in a northern ontario community that you would get loan forgiveness. However, it is a professional program that has mandates as per the CNO so both programs will not vary significantly in course material.

The only thing I'm thinking is that UofT is offering the single emphasis NP and York is still the PHCNP. I am wondering if in the  future, the PHCNP will begin to limit me to only primary care if they decide to change all NP programs to single emphasis in the future. 

Yes, sorry! That is the amount for both years in total
