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.

hey guys!! I got into uoft yesterday and I just wanted to say that please don't lose hope! I'm a very average student with average grades, and I just finished my third year of university!! I thought uoft was joking when they say they look at applications very holistically-- but I definitely think it's true!! so if anyone is still pending or waitlisted for schools, you got this!! ?

Congrats!!? Will you be accepting the offer? And if you don’t mind, what was your average for the last 10 courses? I haven’t gotten any offers and it’s been super stressful waiting but this gives me hope?

Is anyone able to log in on their Queens SOLUS account ? Mine says it's under maintenance for almost 3 days now.  Also, are there any update for those who got waitlisted? I believe someone mentioned that there will be 2 spots opening for Queens.

I also haven’t been able to log in but last time I was able to, I was still on waitlist unfortunately:/

Congratulations and I've private messaged you, whenever you get a chance to respond I would appreciate it. 

I just got a waitlist offer from Nipissing! They just sent the email so anyone waiting check your emails!

IDK if anyone knows this but when it comes to hiring later on, does having placement at a certain hospital favour you getting hired? My hometown is in London and I ultimately want to work there but I got rejected from western so IDK if it’s worth going somewhere else or just reapply next year.

Please if you don’t mind. Do you mean you were offered a waitlist spot or you got off the waitlist. 

Sorry for the confusion, I was on the waitlist and just got offered a spot.

Oh great! Congratulations. If it’s okay for you to share please what’s the GPA for your best 10 full courses. 

I believe around a 3.8 but I have a feeling I did poorly on Casper.
