Hi everyone,

I am currently working on my OSAP application for UofT. Does anyone know if the course load percentage would be 100%? Or is it lower

Thank you

Anyone else's Queen's application switched from waitlist to pending? It's been that way for a couple of days now. My other offers are expiring but I really want Queen's ?

I'm in the same boat with Queen's. Anyone else get a pending a few days ago?

As far as I know, the % is how much of a full course load you're taking. In standard undergrad programs its 5 courses- but its relative. The instructions on how to determine the % tells you that your school determines the number of credits that make up a full course load. So if you're enrolled in all of the courses per semester then you're taking 100% of the course load. I'm not entirely sure if that is correct as it's my first time doing OSAP but I submitted mine as 100%.

Thank you so much. I emailed the nursing faculty to see if they are able to confirm it. Im pretty sure it would be 100% as well.

Does the Western Compressed Nursing program have a facebook group/page? I'd love to join!

Hey guys! Does McMaster send an offer letter and package in the mail after accepting the offer?

are you sure you're calculating your GPA correctly? This is what I did to calculate mine - in a spreadsheet convert the last 10 full course equivalents on your transcript (including graduate courses! they told me they use them in the GPA calculation) to 4.0 GPA scale using the OMSAS scale (it's the scale used for med schools). Maybe you could call or email Western and ask what their cut-off was last year?

Good idea, thank you! I realized they take graduate courses as well which helps some what.

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, have you received any email similar to the one you got last year about making it to the final round of admission? Or has anyone else?

I did not get such an email. If anyone has, please post so we know.

@rachO @hopefulnurse6 Hey, I actually didn’t get any email this year! It was a little strange but I guess that means they’re timing the admissions differently this year.
