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.

My Mosaic has switched to pending from denied!

My bad I read this post wrong, hopefully we all hear good news soon! 

Is anyone still pending for Trent? My application status has been EL since Jan. I am still completing physiology at AU (got COVID and it really messed with my schedule to finish), could this be the reason? I know Trent didn't require physiology as long as you took bio in high school, but getting antsy as I am waitlisted for Western and pending for both Trent and UofT. 

My mosaic also switched to pending! Did everyone's switch maybe since they opened more spots? I don't want to get my hopes up.. Please let me know if you get an offer!

I'm also still pending for Trent, I reached out to them and they said its on a rolling bases and I should hear from them soon and even if I don't get an offer to nursing I'd still get an alternative offer for honours science.

Thanks so much for telling me, I appreciate it! ?

Just got a call from Western and I'm officially accepted off of the waitlist! Only have one day to make my decision but I think I'll be taking it and declining Trent.

Congratulations! Please would you mind sharing your average for your last 2 years?

Ah! That's good to hear. Did they tell you that they would consider you for the second entry program if you do well in your first semester for honour science? I read somewhere on Reddit that  that they gave these alternative offers out and then some people in the first week of fall term were accepted into the second entry program. So, I am wondering if that's what they would meant for you as well.

Around a 3.7. I'm also finishing up a Master's with a 4.0, not sure if they take that into account at all.

Still haven't heard anything from Nipissing! It's my top choice so I'm hoping they get back to us soon!

Just got a call from Western yesterday offering me a spot in the program that I'll be accepting! I had an 85 average from my past 2 years. Good luck to anyone else waiting!
