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.

Hey everyone! My post got buried so I just wanted to ask again: if you are/were considering choosing Mac or UofT, which one did you/would you choose and why? Thanks ?

Hello! I recently got into both but accepted UofT. I already have 1 undergrad from Mac so want to change it up for this one. Another reason is due to their clinical placements and higher shot of consolidation where you want to end up (I am already in health care and know that ER is where I want to be). I also like that it’s a true 2-year nursing undergrad and you don’t enter a 4 year program at level 3 as with McMaster. Hope this helps even a little ? Good luck everyone ! 

Just got a scholarship to UofT, I think they send em out a couple weeks after you accept your offer!

How much money did you receive for the scholarship if you don't mind me asking?

Sorry if I'm mistaken, but I thought you declined UofT's offer? ? Unless you meant they send scholarships a few weeks after sending offers?
