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!

How do I go about converting to the 4.3 scale? That may be why.

You use the 4.3 gpa scale found on UNB's website. Then do (credit hours × value of numerical grade on 4.3 scale) for each course, add all the courses then divide by total number of credit hours.

Example:

C+ for a 4 credit course is (4×2.3)= 9.2

A- for 1 credit course is (1×3.7)= 3.7

(3.7+9.2) / 5= 2.58 gpa

I got off the waitlist as well, and I calculated my last 2 years to be 3.2. I probably calculated it wrong though (had to convert from a higher scale).

Was the 3.2 GPA for your final 2 years out of the 4.3 scale?

I did that on the 4.0 scale using an app called OLSAS gpa calculator

I see, and did you then convert the 3.2 GPA to the 4.3 scale? Thanks!

I don't really know enough about the York program but I completed the UofT program. I really enjoyed the program, and found the faculty very supportive and kind. I also felt like I had good placements and my classmates also enjoyed their placements. I found the classes pretty fair and expectations were clear. Another positive aspect of UofT is it has more resources if you're interested in things like graduate studies, research, interprofessional quality improvement initiatives. I think you might get more exposure to these things at UofT, but having never gone to another school it's hard to for me to make an objective comparison.

Guys I have a question. I'm a third year student, say I accept my nursing offer. Does my current degree get put on hold meaning I can come back after nursing to finish it whenever I like? Or do i forever lose chances of doing it?

Tbh I don't know the answer to that, but look into a 3 year pass degree, some universities will let you graduate after 3 years if you meet certain requirements, talk to academic advising:)

I would assume you would be allowed to go back to it!

I just converted to 4.3 scale now, and I got 3.28 gpa.

Did you find that the UofT program prepared you well for the work force? and was it relatively easy for you and your classmates to find jobs after graduation? I haven't even started the program yet but I'm already scared about job prospects cause of my mountain of debt haha
