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.

Is anyone declining Nippising?

I am still pending (no offer) but can I send my Winter grades to the school? Or is that not allowed?

 

will that make a difference?

If you're talking about uoft, then yes you should!

Yes. I don't plan on going to nipissing but I love how they state that I'm a desirable candidate and that they would have offered me an admission if only the program wasn't full. ? Shoutout to Nipissing for being courteous to their applicants! ?

I just got waitlisted too ? it's my top choice so Im really hoping there's good news soon

 

Who else is starting to feel the frustration with waiting? Particularly Mac and UofT got me super frustrated. I don’t suppose anyone has an inkling of when the next round of Mac acceptances will go out?

Yes. The waiting is really stressful. I'm still waiting on Western, U of T, and Mac. Fingers crossed for you!

Same. I checked the forum from last year and the first round went out on Wednesday and then the following Monday people said they ‘just got in.’ I’m not sure if they were just late to check their accounts or they sent out more offers 5 days later. I’m gonna assume they will send out the 2nd round tomorrow (Wednesday) as they only have until end of May so I’m assuming they do it quite quickly! You’re not alone though, the stress is killing me slowly!

For those waitlisted for Nipissing, would any of you be comfortable with disclosing your best 10 full course GPA? No worries if you don't!

I will be declining ?

I am getting soo stressed out from waiting to hear back from Mac.  Should I call the Mac nursing office to get an update from them?

I wouldn’t reach out yet, maybe after 1 or 2 more weeks of no word. I emailed Mac an updated grade for a prerequisite I took the latest semester, and I kind of subtly mentioned how I hadn’t received an offer yet and they didn’t really acknowledge it. So I’d leave it a little longer since only the first wave of acceptances have gone out so far. Best of luck!
