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.

Awesome, thanks for the insight! I have received an offer from another school so I was just curious since Humber is a little closer to home ?

I would go with the sure thing! Go with the offer you have to be honest and congratulations! 

Hi everyone! I received a conditional offer to McMaster today! I am wondering if anyone else has heard back? And if there is a facebook group I can join? I also want to say goodluck to everyone who is still waiting, believe in yourselves and good news will come your way! ❤️

Congratulations!! and yesss hopefully I get some really good news from McMaster as well haha

It seems all the previous offers sent out by McMaster expired yesterday 18th May. I noticed some people got accepted today. Does anyone have a previous offer yet to expire?

My GPA was just under a 3.8 (approx 3.73) and I felt extremely confident in my CASPER.

on average how long were your answers to each question? do you have any tips on how to do well in the casper? how did you study for it? congrats for the offer!

My GPA for my last 20 courses is around an 8.95 on a 10.0 scale! I didn't feel amazing about the casper but definitely felt okay about it! Wishing you so much luck!!! ❤️ 

Officially accepted McMaster, which also means someone on the Queens waitlisted is getting in! There  should also be another spot available Nipissing soon (my offer expires next week - I forgot to cancel it when I switched from Queens to McMaster but I’ll go in as soon as OUAC unlocks). Good luck everyone!

I know the acceptance letter from Mac said they were doing an official discord eventually, does anyone know if someone has also made a facebook group or anything for McMaster?

Congratulations on getting both offers! I am waiting on a response from Western (UWO is close to home for me ?). My application average is 84% and I saw others have received rejections with GPAs close to 3.8, which has got me a bit worried. If you are comfortable saying so, what was your application average for Western (last 10.0 credits)?

I think my average was around 3.84! I've noticed most people that got accepted finished their pre-requisites/has a degree! 

I'm sure you will hear from them soon! ? 

Specializes in science.

Does anyone know if there is a group chat for those accepted at UofT?

Congratulations!! When you got an offer from McMaster, did it take you a little while to get an email after your student portal was updated? I haven't received any letters yet, and so I am not sure what my conditions are!
