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.

I'm experiencing this too. OUAC shows that my transcript was received (I applied with my final transcript) but on Webadvisor it says "21FW Final - Transcript Submit by deadline". I've sent an email but I haven't heard anything. 

OK, glad we are not alone with this. Assuming Nipissing is slow at updating at this point. If OUAC received it, then there's only so much we can do within our control and we can blame OUAC if anything. It's just stressful thinking about losing an offer over something technical. 

Do you know when is the due date for final transcript? I was assuming May 28, but maybe it's June 30? IDK 

The last that I spoke with them it was June 30th. Since convocation happens mid June for most people and the designation for having the degree awarded is not until early-mid June for those who are graduating this year.

Congrat on your acceptances ! May I ask which date you received U of T offer? Thank you !!

Same! Deadline to accepted offer is May 28/21. Deadline to meet conditions/send transcripts is June 30/21. ?

hi everyone

I've received acceptances from both the uoft and mac accelerated programs and am having a tough time deciding between the two! if anyone has any pros or cons of either program that would be super helpful (I would be commuting for uoft and will need to rent a place for mac)

thanks!!

Hey,

 

Do u mind sharing your GPA from last year?

 

Thank you

My York application states "no decision yet - currently under consideration" since March. Is/was anyone experiencing the same thing?

Yes, mine says the same thing since April. I know so far everyone who got in had their application state that for weeks before their acceptance came through so here's to hoping some good news is coming soon !

did anyone hear from u of t today? Im getting really frustrated because I haven't heard anything ? 

Does anyone know if individual schools get notified if you accept another program? I applied to OCAS for a humber program, but I’m still waiting for Mac’s accelerated nursing (which is through an internal ouac). I’m thinking of accepting the humber program to be safe, but I still hope Mac would review my application since it’s pending.

Hi guys! Is anyone else's status is still "applied" at trent? On their website it says all decisions are made before or by the end of May which is coming up soon so I'm kinda worried ?

Hey, for me it says "EL-Trent is still evaluating your application"

It shouldn't have any influence on Mac and their review process. I know when I accepted UofT, I still got my other 2 acceptances a few weeks after they got informed, and I know they were informed because Nipissing changed my status to accepted elsewhere but I still got in when they sent theirs out

Hey, new here! Can someone explain how the offers from U of T go out? I've read that the last week of offers comes the last week of May, then the waitlist starts the next week?? Is that correct, or am I confused?

Offers come in until the last week of June (by June 30th all offers are sent out), and if you don't get an acceptance then UofT will notify you of either a rejection or a waitlist offer
