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.
Hey guys, I had a question and I am not sure if anyone knows the answer but I filled out the letter of extenuating circumstances/ special consideration forms as my dad passed away going into third year, which impacted my average significantly. I am wondering if you guys know how much these unis really look at those forms. My two average is above the min for applying/mid range, and I did do well my last year but I am really stressed out that those marks are going to be the reason I won't get in.
Nipissing was my first choice until I found out that 12/15 credits wouldn't be given a letter grade only pass or fail. Graduate programs that you may apply to down the line want to see letter grades/GPA over that time period. So that, plus the unconventional classes offered means that you may be looked at less favorably or may even have to take additional courses if you want to apply to schools later on.
Here is a reddit post highlighting some of the pros and cons of the program (unofficial btw).
Just wanna clear up some confusion about Nipissing's grading structure. The 12/15 pass/fail marks are per semester. So you still have a numerical/letter grade per semester, for all 6 semesters. There are students who apply to master's programs post-grad too so it's not completely out of the question.
Hey everyone, check your Mosaic! I got denied from McMaster ? It was my third choice. I checked around lunch time and there was no change so they must have updated in the afternoon. I have a conditional offer from Nipissing which I'm very excited about! I am still waiting for UofT but most likely will choose Nipissing for its unique program. I am based in Toronto so happy not to have to move/commute.
Does anyone know if unis give out feedback to those denied? Just good to know, especially re CASPer.

Good luck everyone!
I just checked, I was denied too. My two year average was in the low end so I am praying for UofT, but my backup is my acceptance to Ryerson's 4 yr program. Heart is still at second entry programs. Also, congrats on Nipissing, definitely a great program, I wish had applied ?

Last year they did (I received a letter). I am not sure if they are doing that this year due to the sheer number of applicants. Guess we'll see! Congrats on the offer!

Does anyone else’s still say pending on their mosaic?
To be honest, I'm unsure how to compute my average for the last two years. My university is from back home and I studied for 5 years with summers since I switched programs. I think it's between a B+ to A-.
For Nipissing, my best 10 (20 half creds) is an A (3.7+?).
