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.

Hello all. I recently got an offer for McMaster. I know that they are a 20 month program so they would be ending in April of 2023. For UofT since it is 24 months does that mean it ends in august 2023. I recall reading on here that the Summer semester only went until July, so I am wondering if that is the case for both Summer semesters at UofT!?

congrats ! what was your last two years GPA and how do you think your casper went?

I believe I've already answered your question a few weeks ago but my cGPA is a 10.4 on Mac's 12.0 scale and I think the casper went okay. I didn't really prep for it at all tbh

hey my cGPA was a 3.2 and got into Mac and UofT, they only look at the last year/or two so make sure those are higher!

oh yea, my bad I keep saying cgpa because I assume everybody applied after their first two years of uni, IDK why? but in that case, what was your GPA for your last two years of uni if you don’t mind me asking:)

That’s good to hear. Please what’s the GPA for your last 2 years if you don’t mind. 

No problem! I was admitted with a 3.6 (since Mac doesn’t look at this past term which brought me up to 3.7)

Was your last year GPA much higher ? 

so in fourth year (2019-2020) I had a 3.9 

this past year I took a post grad year and took psychology, Chemistry, two bio classes and two physiology classes and I think that my GPA was around a 3.6 or 3.7. I applied to UBC and when I did that they told me that my CASPER test scored a 2 out of 4. hopefully that helps you 

I’m kind of struggling to make a decision and was hoping to get some insight on pros and cons of the McMaster vs UofT program. I was originally only accepted to UofT but got into Mac today and now I’m really stuck. 

hi guys!! I saw a few comments about how western will send out acceptances/ rejections by June 1st? I'm just curious because today is may 30th and I'm wondering if they're supposed to respond on or by June 1st?? or if I should reach out because the status of my app still says 'further grades required' even though western's received my last semester's grades!! anything would help honestly, I'm feeling a little anxious!! ?

Hey! Hopefully I can ease some of your anxiety. From the email I received, they said if your final transcript was received by May 24th then you will receive a decision on or before June 1st! I originally emailed them to see if my transcript was received mine still said further grades required, but they stated that it will continue to say then until they make a decision! 

Fingers crossed for the both of us! ☺️
