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.
I just got accepted today! I’m an internal applicant, I’m not sure if that makes a difference. We have 10 days to decide though so I think they’re going to release offers as people decline. Hang in there!
congrats!! what was your GPA if you don’t mind me asking?
Does anyone know if york's tuition fees are less compared to mac?
York is quite more expensive. The whole degree costs around 22k (about 11k/year) while Mac's degree costs around 14k (9k first year, 5k 2nd year). I believe Mac offers one of the cheapest accelerated nursing programs (if not the cheapest).
Hi! I applied to both Mac and UofT. I've accepted my offer at uoft, as it was always my first choice. My reasons are: uoft seems to have the best placements (UHN, etc.), it's the top nursing school in Canada, I've heard lots of good things about the faculty and just culture there in general, high NCLEX passing rate and I did my undergrad at uoft so the transition seems easier? IDK LOL. location was also a factor for me.
Mac has a unique teaching method, I think its called PBL or something. I've heard mixed opinions regarding that. And for mac the accelerated students begin year 3, there's no separate program.
Hope this helped a little!
Thank you for your insight, it definitely helped! Both programs are great so it's so hard to decide which one!

Hi all! I received my UofT acceptance letter in the mail. I wasn’t sure if they were gonna give a physical letter so in case anyone else was wondering thought I’d drop that here!
