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.

I used the chat function yesterday to ask them and they said they don’t really have a set date for last date of admissions . The girl asked me to email her next week if I don’t get any update .

I never applied to Nipissing but I'll be attending York in the fall and its where I did my undergraduate degree from as well. My sister also graduated from their second entry nursing program. What is it that you want to know?

Hi, I got into York as well. I was wondering if you could give any feedback on how intense your sister found it? I tried but can't private message you. 

There is also a group for anyone joining Lakehead. The group is called Lakehead University Compressed Nursing Program 2021-2024 on facebook!

Yes, I'd like to know the answer to this as well. Mainly if we will be given time to respond before moving down the list. 

Speaking from experience (waitlisted last year and then offered a spot), they will email you and give you a chance to respond. I emailed back the same day so I'm not sure how much time they give you to respond but just keep an eye out on your email!

does anyone know any other accelerated programs that will start January 2022?

Did anyone get a response from Mac? I’m still pending and thought I would know by the 30th ?

Congratulations. Please do you mind share your GPA?

I'm not sure how they calculated it as my most recent classes was my masters and they took that and went backwards so don't know if they took any courses from my undergraduate degree into account. When I asked she didn't specify.  My cgpa in my 3 year masters was above their 80 percent/A cutoff. I haven't decided if I'm accepting Humber/UNB so a spot may become available. Good luck if you're still waiting.

Yes I am waiting. Thank you. All the best

Is anyone considering the choice between U of T and Nipissing SPP? Would you mind sharing your thoughts with me (you can send me a message if you feel more comfortable!)?
