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.

My last 2 year GPA is a 3.44

I think my best 10 which is what Nipissing looks at is a 3.7.

Just a heads up though, I did my undergrad in the US and our grading scale is very different from what it is here in Ontario. For example my 3.44 is a B+ in the states and that translates to 87-89% in the States. I know here an 87-89 is an A and a B+ is only 77-79%. I’m not exactly sure how the Universities interpreted my grades, but just wanted to let you know. 

Nipissing’s program is shorter and is a lot closer to me than Trent. And for Humber it’s just closer. 

No idea I was going to call or send an email because I was a bit confused as well LOL 

I received my acceptance to Nipissing last night too! I also heard from Western back in March. 

I am also interested in knowing how to view the official offer letter. Perhaps it will come in the mail like the welcome package/confirmation of application? Let me know if you guys find anything out!

Does anyone know when Nipissing will tell us where we will be placed (out of UHN, Sick Kids and TPH)? As I read from their website it seems to insinuate that we will be told at the time you are offered admission, but am not sure. I really want to know as this will really impact my decision between Nipissing/Western!

I just got into Nipissing too!

Hi guys! I got accepted to McMaster (!) I have a question, does anyone know how the placements work? Like do we have to apply with grades and resume to get the placements we want? Or is it assigned to us?

Hey! In regards to Nipissing and fining out where you will be placed its hard to tell right now. I know this past year for the 2020 cohort they did not find out where they were being placed until late September. Unless this changes, this is one thing which will affect my decision I think but im not sure if they're still doing this. I think it has to do with no interviews being done. 

For those who have been accepted to uoft, we submit the $500 deposit payment by June 1st, right?

That’s amazing congrats! Did they send you an email or did you find out via your portal? Do you mind if I also ask what your GPA was? 

I found out through an email! My GPA is around 3.9

Congrats on your acceptance! If it’s anything like the basic program it will be assigned to you but you get to rank your choices I think. Also were you an internal applicant?
