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.
For anyone choosing McMaster or strongly considering, how do you feel about the placements? I know some of the community placements were online last year and that makes me nervous. I know they also don’t cover all ages/population groups with their placements either - are there ways you are thinking about getting yourself that experience? (Ie externships)
thanks so much, having a really tough time with decisions right now

Not at all! I think I maybe already posted it but if I remember correctly it was about a 3.8 in my last 10 credits (regular scale not UofT). I got accepted last Monday ? My offer expires this Thursday though which is why I'm looking for people's personal thoughts/opinions on the program

I just accepted my offer on OUAC and now my account is acting weird, I can no longer see my choices or anything else. is this normal? I got a confirmation email that I accepted my offer but I am a little bit confused.

My Nipissing email says that "after submitting a response you will be locked out for one business day."

I found this off of reddit:
“Placements start in the Winter term. The first three placements that you get (Winter term, Spring term, Summer term) are randomized and assigned to you. All in Hamilton, I believe.
In your final year (next Fall and Winter terms), you can rank your preferences for placement. You can also apply for and rank your preferences for atypical placements (which includes ER, ICU, Public Health, etc), depending on your GPA and references from tutors. The office will then try to match a placement according to your preferences. I've heard that some people had some bad experiences with the ranking system though, and they never got a placement that they had wanted, unfortunately. It's really just luck-based.”
I really hope they aren’t online, my friends who are in basic nursing had in person placements and they really enjoyed them. Hopefully I have the same experience, just hoping for the best haha.
Hey, did anyone watch the Humber-UNB 2nd entry information session? They stated that their program has been waitlisted - my application still says pending decision. Just wondering if anyone knows if it means I am waitlisted or not?
I'll email admissions but wanted to check here first!
Hey everyone, just accepted my Nipissing offer! I had already accepted my Queen’s offer, so this means there is now a spot for someone who is waitlisted. Good luck!
