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

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

This may be a silly question, but what is the difference between clinical placement and residency?

So for UofT, what I gathered is that residency is mandatory and happens for one full week in September and April/May. During this week, there are lectures and skills related to our scope of practice as NPs. Whereas, clinicals start in second semester (so Jan 2026), where we are placed in various sites (eg, hospital, community clinic, LTC) etc. for a certain amount of hours per week. These hours are required to graduate. Hope this makes sense!

Mine says no decision yet. Apparently if it says decision pending you will get a decision soon. In my case, I don't think they have even looked at my application.
