I haven't seen a post for Fall 2021 yet so here it is!
My choices are:
1. UofT
2. McMaster
3. Nipissing SPP
I started my OUAC application in November and now trying to work on the supplemental packages. My CASPer Test is on January 12, 2021.
I need to take Anatomy and Physio course(s) however, I'm having a hard time figuring out what would satisfy the requirements from all three universities. My options so far are:
1. Take CBLG 101 in Winter and CBLG 111 in Spring at Ryerson. However final grade will be in June; hoping that's fine. This satisfies all 3 unis
2. Take SCS 2159 in Winter from UofT which is enough for UofT and McMaster but not for Nipissing. I have to take an Anatomy course just for Nip.
I have a Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education from back home, been working as an RECE in Toronto the last 8 years, have a Diploma in Nonprofit Management at Ryerson. My cGPA is 3.55 which I'm worried about. Lots of extra curricular activities from university and volunteering here in Toronto. I still have to compute the GPA for the last two years.
I requested WES to send my transcripts to Nip and McMaster and asked my old uni to send to UofT.
It's been an expensive application so far; really hoping I get in! Looking forward to chatting with you all and sharing our experiences.
Did anyone take Athabasca anatomy and physiology course ? How did that go ?
the negatives are: long, hard, they expect you to memorize ridiculous amounts of information per test (there are three exams that cover around 10 ch ea), & the Wiley tool they give you to help study with is a joke
the positive are: the quizzes basically open notes and they're very similar to the test so it prepares you, you have a year to do it, the exams and quizzes are multiple choice, & there are a lot of good study materials online
overall not ideal at all but it is doable if you commit an hour or 2 at least 5 days a week to read take notes and study
I recently received a rejection for western and waitlisted for queens. Im still waiting on mcmaster and trent but Im soo extremely discouraged. Does anyone have any information on chances or how big the queens waitlist is? It's my only hope ?
Why is it your only hope when you're still waiting on McMasters and Trent?

We applied to the same schools and so far, I've only heard back from Queens (still waiting for my final transcript for Winter). I also got waitlisted. I really wanted to go there but since they are only accepting 48, I feel like it is harder to get in. But don't lose hope ! We got this.

Is the midterm/exam really super detailed? Because some terms are not listed on the study guide. And I have only been following the study guide because that's what it says on the syllabus.

I don't remember where it says this, but I remember seeing that theyre only going to test you on terms/concepts/details that are on the syllabus. That being said, once its on the syllabus they can ask you anything on it. I would say it covers a lot of information
My status in my Queen's solus account has changed from "you have been added to the waitlist" back to "pending". Has anyone else who was added to their waitlist noticed this?
Mine said “waitlist” yesterday when you posted this, but today it switched back to “pending” too. Did you get any update on your status yet? Not sure if this is a good or bad thing LOL

I know!! I haven't heard anything. I emailed queen's admissions this morning and I keep checking my email and status on solus every 20 minutes...it's driving me insane!!

Just cause I feel like if western rejected and queens waitlist then that’s also what’s probably going to happen with the other two. I was wondering about the waitlist in a general sense

Ahh OK! Well here’s to hoping we all get some good news soon ?

I know it’s hard not to get discouraged but each school has slightly different requirements so I wouldn’t rule anything out just yet! It’s still super early on!!

Thank you! It just stressful waiting around as I'm sure it for everyone else as well!
