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, silent lurker here. I have applied to Western but haven't heard back anything yet. I am finishing up my A&P prereqs. I come from a non medical bg (MBA) and aspiring to get into the accelerated nursing program.
Has anyone heard from western or any advice what to do? Also any word on their accelerated program?

Hi, I got a letter on the western portal that told me to send my final transcript since I was still completing one of the prereqs.

Hi, thanks. Did you upload the transcripts with your final grades? I did get a request during my prereqs and I submitted one without a grade. Curious when they would ask for the transcript with my grade?

Yeah, I submitted the transcript with all my final grades. On the website it says that it is recommended for the prereqs to be finished before April so IDK when they would ask for that.
They'll probably say the same thing to me as well then. Wonder why they even switched it ? Hopefully we may get offers later on!

I wish they didn't change it and give me a heart attack?

1) do they favour students that have completed their degree over those that haven’t?
2) is a GPA of 3.77-3.83 enough to get in? it’s an 11 on the 12.0 scale (I’m a mac student) but IDK if they consider that.
I'm currently in the Mac program.
1) No. There are actually a decent number of students in the program who got in only after completing their first 2 years of undergrad.
2) Yes, that is competitive.
Just got an offer of admission from Queen's! I was put on the waitlist, then a few days later my status switched from "waitlist" back to "pending". And now it has changed to "offer"! I know a couple of you also had your status switch back to pending, so maybe it's a good sign! good luck! For the record, I don't know what my overall GPA is because by BA is from a university in the states and I'm not sure what they did to convert it, but my GPA in my prereq's is 3.9 on a 4.3 scale and I took them all through Queen's Arts and Science online.

OMG congrats, that's so exciting!! Still on the waitlist but fingers crossed! Is Queen's your first choice?

Congrats!! I just got into Queen's as well! ? My status went from 'waiting list' back to 'pending' last week too.

hope everyone is having a nice afternoon,
guys when mcmaster decisions come out, if you could please reply to this comment with your GPA stats and how well you think you performed in the CASPER that would be very helpful (only if you’re comfortable). I want to apply next year, and wanna see if I have a chance!
