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.
Can I ask when you were placed on the wait-list/when you applied? I'm also waitlisted.
I applied the day the application opened in February but my Winter transcript got in when the program was already waitlisted. I was waitlisted on the 3rd of June. If you don’t mind what is you GPA and when were you waitlisted.
Thanks for your help! Roughly 2 weeks seems to be a common timeline around here for hearing back. I was waitlisted on the 11th, so I'm guessing I need to be patient and wait. My phone is attached to my hip though, the thought of it all relying on a call is terrifying. Congrats again! I'm sure it is a huge relief ?
Yea I definitely didn't want to be waiting/stressing until August to hear back. They called me at like 8 in the morning so it was really shocking. Also, she gave me a few days to accept the offer, so they don't just move on to the next applicant if you miss the call!

Hoping you hear good news soon!
I think we get a few days to accept the offer online once we verbally confirm that we are interested from the call, and if we didn't pick up they would extend the same offer to the next person on the waitlist. They told me they are trying to have a quick turnaround for waitlist offers to ensure all the spots are filled in the program. But I'm not 100% certain what their protocol is for people that miss the call, so the people still waiting could probably send an email for more insight.
Also, I received my western waitlist phone call on June 10 but my offer didn't show up in OUAC until June 14 and was set to expire on June 15. So I only had one day to accept it online. Im not sure if that was the same case for other waitlist offers though.

I am not sure how they calculated my GPA it was an A/competitive according to them. I have a masters so they said they look at your most recent courses and I'm not sure how many years they look at. They didn't clarify that to me. I got placed on the wiatlist end of May. I applied to the program late (didn't know about it) and was missing a pre-req. By the time I got the mark to them the program was already wait-listed.
I had emailed Western to find out why I did not meet the minimum requirements a few weeks ago. They just got back to me advising it was because my Stats course was done more than 10 years ago and therefore did not meet the minimum requirements. I am so upset I didn't realize, I am still holding out hope for U of T and maybe getting off the waitlist at Nippissing.
@Luciagtz are you mature students as well? Can I ask what’s your GPA for the last 5 credits ? Thank you
I guess so! ? I graduated in 2012, my stats course was from 11 years ago, which is very sad. The GPA for my last 5 credits in university was 3.6 but I have taken courses since then.
I’m sorry to hear ?. you’ve probably mentioned this before but what was your GPA if you don’t mind me asking?
I had around a 3.7 and felt like I did really good on CASPR, but it’s OK ty! I’ll be applying for the Nippising SPP program and Western’s program this Fall
