Ontario Second Entry Nursing Fall 2018

Published

I'm applying to the second entry nursing program in February 2018 for Fall 2018 admission. I'm applying to York, Humber, Trent, Nipissing and potentially Western. I'll be applying with a BA in psych. This is probably super premature, but I wanted some reassurance from fellow applicants. I also wanted to know if anyone, past or previous applicants, know the weighting of Additional Information forms and how they're considered during the application process? I was diagnosed with ADHD during my second year of university, after being misdiagnosed two previous times, and it's certainly had an impact on my grades. My GPA is going to be something like 6.7 on a 9.0 scale. And this really has me worried. Has anyone else had any experiences with Add. Forms?

Good luck to all!

Anyone else here affected by York being on strike? Or does anyone have any input from experience what would happen if your marks are delayed and it's out of your control? I feel like they would consider my application incomplete and not consider me since they'd have so many other applicants to consider. I've sent an email to a few schools but I figured I'd make a post here until I get a response.

Thanks!

Wondering about anyone else who applied to UofT - do you know if we have to submit 'final transcripts' from our school even if we are already done our degree (AKA the courses are finished already and nothing is going to get updated)?? There is a box in the documents received called "Official Final Post Secondary Transcript Submitted via OUAC" that doesn't have a green checkmark for me.

I'm assuming this is there for people who are currently enrolled in a course and need to re-submit transcripts with their updated final grade. Let me know if any of you know :) thanks

I emailed UofT a couple weeks ago about this. They said that they aren't able to confirm whether a received transcript is final until they complete the entire review process of our applications. This means that we don't have to submit another final transcript if the first one we sent was already our final transcript. They said to ignore the other rows (including the Official Final Post Secondary row) as they only update the details for admitted students once they issue offers.

The email also confirmed that our applications would be reviewed, so no worries. Admissions will see that our transcripts are indeed final when they begin reviewing our application. This might also mean that our "application received" status on join.utoronto will only be updated once applications are fully reviewed and that student is admitted.

Congrats. Please when do they start sending out admission letters? And how's the program like?

I got my offer in late February, but I know some others that got it in July, so it really depends. I think a lot of people accept an offer from Trent and then decline later on when they decide to go elsewhere. The program was decent -- there was a good combination of theory, practicum, and labs/simulations. The lab instructors, clinical instructors, and professors were very helpful and approachable. You do have to stay on top of your readings though!

I believe that admission decisions start in April for Trent.

Queens' is March/ April

Toronto's is March-June

Nipissing's is Mid-April

Does anyone know York's admission decision timeline? I haven't been able to find it anywhere.

Thanks for this. I will just have to keep hope alive.

Hello. Can someone tell me their GPA who got accepted at Humber College? Are people still receiving offers from Humber?

Any idea when UWO and McMaster will send out admission letters?
