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

Has anyone heard back from Western or know when the next round of offers will happen (if it's happening)?

My avg is 83% on waitlist, and I'm getting pretty nervous. I emailed Western but they couldn't confirm anyone's position on the list.

I am waitlisted too, I hope we all hear back soon! I contacted them in mid-May and they said before June 15th you should hear about your application status. So, maybe sometime this week and next. *fingers crossed*

Anyone still getting offers from Western, U. of T, Queen's or McMaster?

Keep us informed so we don't give up hope on the programs we want.

Thanks!

Hey! I just got accepted to westerns compressed program yesterday, but I declined my offer as I’m going to UofT!

Were you notified you were on the wait list for Western first. I haven't heard from Western yet about wait list.

Hey! I’m actually in the exact same boat as @Gautham! Got an acceptance for Western yesterday, but will be declining my offer as I’ll be going to UofT as well!

Hopefully this continues to open spots for you guys! Best of luck!!

Yes your application status changes from applied to waitlisted which you have to accept or decline the waitlist to get on it.

Does UofT mostly accept people who already have a degree? I just got accepted to westerns compressed program yesterday but hopefully to get an offer from UofT.

[worriedsick]

Anyone on the Queen's waitlist get an offer recently?

I think it's pretty rare for them to accept someone without their degree/anyone not in their last year of undergrad. I'm sure there are some exceptions though!
