Ontario Second Entry Nursing Fall 2021

[YanBan2020]

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.

Does anyone know if U of T will still send acceptance next Friday? Or it’s just rejection and waitlist now at this point till end of June ?

Did anyone get accepted with a 3.4-3.5 GPA for their last 20 courses? I have been reading these posts and feel like everyones averages are so high.

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

me too! I think I'll be declining though, I'm planning on going to McMaster. Good luck to everyone waiting for offers from Nipissing!

I was accepted to Nipissing with a 3.2 in my last 20 courses! I was also waitlisted at western, still waiting to hear from UofT.

That is what I was wondering, I don't think there is really a way to know unfortunately. I hope they are still accepting people!

Hey! Accepting Western won't affect your Mac decision.

That's amazing! But I believe Nipissing takes your best 20 courses from all of your undergraduate years, not just the last 20.
