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! Anyone's mosaic still pending for McMaster?

Mine is!

It's making me nervous haha. Do you think this means waitlisted?

I feel like it isn't because the website said offers can go out until the end of June! I doubt the waitlist would be this early on when offers just started going out like 2 weeks ago ?

When you click complete requirements does it show that you need to submit final transcripts? Mine shows that but I'm already a student there so I'm not sure what to do

I think a few people on here have said that all the offers have been sent out? And basically we have the chance to be offered a spot on the program from people who reject offers? This is just what I’ve heard through this forum though.

I read that too! But I also feel like admissions wouldn't actually tell anyone that they are done sending out offers?

Yea that didn’t make much sense to me either but at this point I guess we can only wait and hope for an answer??

Congrats! That's awesome! Have you accepted it / planning on going? When I applied my GPA was lower but my prereqs have increased it substantially, so I'm hoping that will help with my waitlist spot. 

What was your GPA (the queens calculation)? I think I have a shot because of my ECs and my statement but I'm worried I might have to reapply for next cycle.

I’m an internal transfer too! Mine is still pending but when I click on the requirements, it says transcript and supp app is complete. Might want to email Vicky from Mac admissions? 
 

Also they said there were 1000 applicants so it’s possible that they just haven’t gone through all of the applicants yet and pending just means pending ?

 I'm also an internal applicant for Mac & my transcript and supp app come up as complete. I agree that maybe it's a good idea to email Vicky ?

I think they have gone through all the applicants. I'm pretty sure they rank us based on our GPA (80%) and CASPer score (20%) and then send out offers to the top 80 or so applicants. They finished sending out offers on May 12th so anyone who is "pending" must be on a "waitlist" (I.e., not a formal waitlist, but a list of applicants who are in the running to receive an offer if another applicant declines/lets their offer expire). A few days after May 12th a bunch of people received rejections which must mean their ranking/GPA/CASPer score is too low to possibly be admitted this year. On May 19th a few people received offers, this must be due to spots opening up from some people rejecting their offers/letting them expire. The offers expire after 10 days so I'm assuming more offers will be sent out sometime this week since the May 12th offers just expired today. I have no way to verify that all these assumptions are true, but I think they're likely the case based on what I've been reading on here, Discord, and Reddit!
