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.
For those who got accepted to UofT and are receiving financial aid from the university, were you informed of your amount for financial aid with your admission offer, or did you have to accept the offer to find out if you're getting any financial aid? I've been accepted to Mac and I plan to go there, but if I do get accepted to UofT me switching plans to go there would depend on any offered financial aid. Any insight would be super appreciated, thanks!
Does anyone know if McMaster has a good scholarship program
From what I've seen so far, no. I'm not sure if they haven't released information about the scholarships for 2021-2022, but right now there are very few scholarships available and none are applicable to nursing students.
Hi! Does anyone know if you can get into both the 4 year program and the 2 year program at McMaster? I got an offer for the 4 year program this morning but my accelerated app is still pending and I'm a bit worried since I read something on OUAC that said they'll only consider you for your second choice if you're not eligible for your first choice.
I got a call off the waitlist for Western's compressed program today with an 84.1% average in the last two years.
I was also offered admission by Trent two weeks ago.
I got rejected by my first choice UBC, so I can share my application ranking which was a 2 for grades (top 50%, applied with ~84), 3 for supplemental (top 75%) and 3 for CASPer (top 75%).
I am still waiting (hopefully) for an offer from Toronto and will be going there if I hear back from them. If not, then I will take the Western offer! My average in the last year for my Toronto application is 87.5% or 3.86/4 GPA using the Toronto GPA calculator. I also just completed my degree (May)!

haha I am in the exact same situation minus the UBC bit.
Is anyone able to provide some insight into WesternU's compressed nursing program and what it's like?
