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.
AHHHHH! Just got off the Western Waitlist. Started crying on the phone so pretty sure they think I'm crazy but super happy. I was registered in the 4-year program as a back-up but glad this came through.

Aww congratulations!! It felt so surreal when I saw my acceptance for my top choice too. It was a tough cycle this year. All the best!

That’s Amazing! May I ask when you were put on the waitlist? What was you cgpa? And what time of day you got the call from western? Still patiently waiting and hoping they will call me ?

Hey! I was put on the waitlist I think May 31? Definitely around the end of may start of June. I was accepted to the 4-year program at the Western site on the same day.
The GPA they used for admission was at 82.4250% (this is what they told me when I e-mailed a few weeks ago to ask where I was on the list...at that point they were admitting people with 82.95%). Seems they are really down to very small differences in averages at this point.
My phone call was just before lunch, but I have heard it can be early in the morning as well. I had resigned myself to being in the 4-year program and trying to find reasons why it was OK and that it was better and all that. I still think the 4 year option would have been good, but so so so much happier that I am in the compressed program. I already have a degree so I was not looking forward to another 4 years on top of the 4 I already did.
For anyone on the UofT waitlist, have you started the student preparedness permit yet? I’m not sure what to do or when to start it! Any information would be helpful, thanks!
