Ontario Second Entry Nursing Fall 2020

[RNthrowaway2020]

Hey, I used to creep these forums for the past few years and they helped affirm my decision to apply to nursing school for Fall 2020. I didn't see one started for next year so I thought, why not start one?

I graduated a while back so I'm a bit older, but my top three choices are:

1. Queen's

2. McMaster

3. York

4. Humber-UNB

One week away from potential uoft offer release! How y’all feeling???

After last year, not that optimistic but if I get in that'd be great.

Was waitlisted, told me I wasn't even a top 10 waitlist candidate. Silly me only applied to U of T last year.

I am so sorry to hear that! But I am sure things will be so much better this year, and I hope you could get in! I am applying only to three school including U of T this year, and I am already waitlisted by Nipissing. I am super worried that I will end up with no place to go. Hopefully things will all work out this year for us.

Ah, good luck dude! We're all in this together. Hoping to hear back from places soon but with this pandemic I feel like stuff is being delayed. My Western OT application results were pushed back 15 days.

Yea thanks everyone, I broadened my applications this year. Waitlisted to Humber, just waiting on U of T. Good luck to everyone else too!

May I ask what your GPA for 5.0 credits was?

It was pretty low tbh. 3.4? 3.5 maybe? I've been out of school for awhile

Anyone heard back from York yet? Or any other updates from York?

I only applied to uoft as well - I applied different program (GBC prosthetics) rather than other nursing schools. Anyone has any idea when our status will at least change? LOL this waiting game with quarantine is just too long to bear.

March has felt like a whole year LOL. Losing my patience!

Haha I totally feel you! All you need is that one acceptance to your top school (or anywhere for me personally) and the weight will be lifted off your shoulders. April is gonna feel even slower with this quarantine.
