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!

I got got off the wait-list for Western with a 87 average too!

I haven't heard anything either! I have a friend who is also in the same situation. If they've waited this long to get back to us do you think that means we're on an unofficial wait-list of sorts? Or maybe they're just waiting until the last possible day to send out the remaining rejections/acceptances - although it is based on the rolling admissions system so who knows. Do you mind me asking what your average/volunteer experience is like?

The wait is killing me lol. My average in the last 10 credits is 3.92 and I was a Research clerk at Princess Margaret and a Research assistant at Toronto Western for 2 summers. I was also a volunteer at Credit Valley hospital in pediatrics, endoscopy and rehabilitation for 4 years. Hopefully we hear back soon!

Thank you so much! I'm a little confused about the pre-reqs. If I complete them in my first year but don't apply until my fourth year, then they wouldn't be part of my ten most recently completed credits. So do you just need to ensure you receive a mark that the school requires or are they counted in the 10.0 credits no matter what? I'll definitely call for info around the time I apply, just trying to get some info early!

From what I understand, so long as the pre-requisites haven't expired, they will still count towards your GPA for the most recent 10 credits and whatever is left of the 10 credits will includes the marks of your most recent courses. The schools you contact will be able to confirm this or not :) I'm sure you're not the first to ask about it!

I don't think there's a deposit to be paid, but I called last week and the tuition is due around August 5th I think, I'm not sure how it works with OSAP. Apparently we can expect detailed orientation information this week or next, so look out for that

Thank you for the heads up :)

Did anyone manage to get a response from U of T about when they will tell us our application status? This is really frustrating now lol

June 30 is a saturday so would that mean they would give answers by June 29th ?
