Ontario Second Entry Nursing Fall 2021

Published

Hey everyone!

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.

Hi future nurses! I was wondering if Trent compressed program requires a deposit at all? Cuz I accepted the offer and also received the mailed package, but none of them mentioned about tuition deposit LOL

I am curious about this too (except I haven't accepted my offer or received the package in the mail yet). How long did you have to wait after being accepted until the package arrived at your home?

Curious to know if anyone was accepted to both york and humber and picked humber over york or viseversa? Based on the program you chose why did you pick that one... I am just having a hard time deciding

Hi guys!

I have recently been waitlisted for Queen's AST nursing. This weekend, I noticed my status was changed back to pending. I was curious if anyone else has experienced this. Also, good luck to everyone that applied to McMaster! Hoping to hear back on my application from there as well! ?

It's about 2 weeks from my experience

Oh hey, I received offers on both schools! I chose to accept Humber because I think it’s the better option between the two. I have only heard good things about their UNB program. From what I gathered in terms of comparing it with York, Humber has good placement partners, less academic workload (it doesn’t require you to do 15-18 credits per sem since it is more clinical driven), higher NCLEX pass rates (guarantees you becoming an RN), less dropout rates (Going to york is probably exhaustive as their NCLEX attempters are way way less than their 170 class size), cheaper tuition (you’ll save a few thousand bucks with Humber), offers free nursing scrubs and Littman stethoscope(not sure if York does the same), less prone to strikes (that 2018 york strike tho), and smaller class size (it may give you an advantage in getting references for grad school). Plus, there is that special feeling to be part of that last University of New Brunswick class in Humber (it makes you feel part of history LOL).

Does anyone know if McMaster will be releasing acceptances today?
