Ontario Second Entry Nursing Fall 2020

Updated:   Published

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

The same thing happened with my SOLUS, so I'm wondering what it means. A formal email was sent out about the waitlist status continuing until August, and this is my first choice so I'm hoping that waitlist offer hasn't been rescinded.

Hi everyone!! I'm so excited!! After my status got changed from waitlist to pending, I received an offer to Queen's AST!!

This is my first choice so I will be accepting it, which frees up one more offer for McMaster ?

Super excited because my heart dropped when I found out I was put on the waitlist back in April. The last day to accept some offers are in June, so I'm sure more will be coming! All the best to everyone still waiting out!

Hey guys! I applied to U of T and still waiting to hear from them. I did apply last year and got waitlisted. In terms of a timeline, an update was given on June 3rd (saying you made it to the final round of admission) and I got waitlisted on the last Friday of June. I did hear that a lot of offers were given out in the last week of June, so hang in there! :)

Hey guys!! Does anyone know if internal applicants to Uoft have to send in final transcripts as well? Thanks! ?

Hi! I believe they will email you if they require you to upload your unofficial transcript to the admission portal. I know they have access to your grades regardless but I don't think there's any harm in uploading your unofficial transcript to the portal. ?

Does anyone know if Trent makes conditional offers?? I’m not done one of the prerequisites yet (Chemistry) and I’m afraid that I won’t be done it in time to get an offer. Has anyone gotten an offer so far with their prerequisites in progress?

Congratulations! May ask what your GPA and ECs are like? Like you my heart dropped when I got waitlisted but sadly I'm still on the waitlist and trying to figure out if I have a chance.

Anyone else waiting to hear back from York University? My application has been "Currently under consideration" for a couple of weeks already!

Did anyone get a UofT offer? I haven't seen a post of someone getting accepted in two weeks I believe, but then again not everyone is on the forums.. 4 more rounds of admission if they send the final round last Friday of June. Really stressful but hopefully we hear some good news. Good luck to everyone who applied.

Tbh I would say I’m pretty average. My cGPA when I graduated was a 3.6 and then I got 90s in my psychology and anatomy prereqs (which I took after I graduated).

On my PSE, I had a few awards from my first undergrad degree.

ECs:

- Committee on Standing to review students’ academic petitions

- Student treasurer of a $200k budget

- Orientation week executive

- ASIST suicide intervention training and crisis response work

Employment:

- Clinical research at a cancer hospital

- Clinical research at a children’s hospital

- Mental health intake worker for patients with schizophrenia

- Wet lab bench research student

This was what I put for my Queen’s PSE, I submitted back in January 2020 but it worked out well for me :)

Anyone hear from Western? Going crazy waiting! According to last year’s forum they sent out a big wave of acceptances and waitlist offers Friday May 31.
