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.

Since some peoples' Mosaic accounts still say pending, my assumption is that this is their loose "waitlist" and that the offers that people reject will likely be given to individuals who's portals are still listed as pending. This is just speculation though. 

I think so too.....

Hey! Thanks for the reply! I’m a little confused though because when I was applying it said that the program is also open to people who completed atleast 60 credits? The website says “Applicants who have not completed a three- or four-year university degree, but who possess 60 university credit hours with a 3.0 or 74 per cent GPA or higher, may also be considered for admission”

I get what you mean but on myhumber for the conditions met conditionally it says "Proof of Successful Completion of Current Academic Studies at University Level with an Overall Minimum Grade Point Average of 3.0 " so even though they accept people who have not completed their degree my offer is conditional on completing my degree.

My last 2 years GPA was 3.5 due to extenuating circumstances, so I’m guessing my PSE and Casper were great ? 

Is there a fb group for Mac's accelerated nursing program?

Hi everyone, I was just wondering for everyone who accepted Mac, why did you choose their program over others?

Got waitlisted for Nipissing a couple days ago, but today I just got an email saying that I have until June 30th to complete the conditions of my offer.. My webadvisor still says I'm waitlisted though. I'm super confused, did anyone else get this email? 

I got the same email. confused too. What will I do???? If you have any update please let me know

Would it be safe to assume that if your application for Mac is "pending" that you are waitlisted?

Apparently it was sent to everyone, even rejected people. So it was just a mistake.
