I am currently a third year York University student hoping to apply for second entry nursing at York
only next year (yes I am going through the strike).
Since applications open in November, I thought it would be best to get this forum started. I am hoping to get more insight into the program and I hope current and past nursing students would share their views on the program and how job searching went. Also, what nursing specialties do most York nursing graduates enter as I am hoping to get into public health. Furthermore, share your insights on Humber, McMaster, U of T, Trent, Queens, Western, Ottawa and Nippissing. (I think that is all) and don't forget to include your acceptance GPAs.
I used to read this forum all the time when I applied to nursing last year! I applied to UofT and Nipissing and got in to both. I accepted UofT :) its a great program.
I saw some people commenting saying people only get in to UofT with like a 3.9 average haha. That is not true. Theres a lot to be said about having a good solid background behind you for UofT's admission process- its not just about your grades. I got in with under a 3.5 GPA (I did have a lot of relevant experience though) but don't be discouraged if you're reading this forum thinking everyones grades are higher than yours haha. There is hope!! Best of luck

Wow, thank you for saying this! I'm not too concerned about my GPA, I'm more concerned about the number of applicants... Also, do they prefer Ontario applicants? I'm applying from BC!

What was your volunteer experience like?
I'm not sure if they prefer Ontario applicants but theres lots of people in the program who were from different provinces and even the US so I don't think it puts you at any disadvantage ? I worked in hospitals since high school and also worked in research at a hospital which I think helped my application as well. But theres people who got in from such different backgrounds so there isn't necessarily a specific mold they prefer!
Its great. I really love getting placements in so many different areas even ones I didn't think I would be interested in. It gives you a more well rounded approach to nursing and your likes/dislikes. I can definitely understand why the program is ranked the top in Canada!
