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.
No Western does not tell you what number on the waitlist you are. They can accept you anytime now until literally the day before classes. Last year I tried asking them for at least the size of the waitlist but they couldn't say. They just go down by averages only once spots open up. They don't look at casper once you are pass their threshold.
Last year the admissions lady said if you meet the 75% minimum average, and pass their casper threshold, you will be waitlisted.

Hey everyone,
Congrats on any acceptances already!
I am wondering what the % cutoff average may have been for western this round?
Last year, people with around 82% averages got off the waitlist. Then, Mid-august they were accepting people in 81%. And right before classes, they said the last person to get a spot was around 80% average. It might be different this year depending on the number of applicants or funding for more seats. I had 78% for last 10.0 courses (including master courses, which they count) and didn't get in.
I am still waiting to hear back. I have seen that a good amount of people have gotten their acceptances or waitlisted status today. So, if I don't hear back by the end of the day should I assume I'm rejected? I have not gotten an email or any decision in the student center.
For reference, I applied February 1st, my casper was okay and my GPA over the last two years of my undergrad is 3.91.

The waiting has been driving me crazy!! LOL
I wouldn't assume anything yet! If your final grades were submitted before the 24th then you still have until tomorrow to hear back from them! If not I would contact them ? the waiting is never easy but you still have time!!
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:)
I did accept the offer back in February because it was the only place I'd gotten into at the time but I'm about to turn it down since I just got an offer from Mac on Saturday! I sent my final transcript at the end of April and my to do list changed to completed a few days later. I don't believe they send you a letter with a final offer (from my knowledge). Just as long as your transcript shows the minimum grade requirements to keep your conditions, then your offer still stands. I heard they don't send any info about further steps until June because that's when they have more of a finalized class.
Oh, I see. Thank you for the response! Congratulations on your Mac offer ?

Declined my offer to Western, so hopefully a spot is available for someone!
