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.

Congratulations!! Do you mind me asking what your GPA was when applying? ? I'm waiting to hear back! 

Honestly, I didn’t expect to get in bc my last 10 are probably like a B+ average! I guess my PSE did the job haha. Also a good reminder that grades aren’t everything

Of course! I'm somewhere between a 3.8-3.9 in the last 10 I think? My cGPA is a little lower at 3.75ish? My courses were structured a bit differently due to extenuating circumstances (which I also spoke about in my PSE), so it would have depended on how admissions decided to calculate my GPA. Good luck!

That's great! ? I'm really hoping to hear back soon ? Congrats on your acceptance and best of luck with everything!! 

Ahh can't believe some schools are already releasing acceptance letters! So exciting and nerve-wracking! ?

I was wondering when Western and McMaster releases their acceptance letters!

I know!! The waiting is so stressful! I think McMaster will release acceptances in April, but I'm not sure about Western and was wondering the same thing!

Well, I've applied to Western and McMaster and trying to decide where I really want to go ? (I'm from the Maritimes, so I'm currently still learning more about the programs)

Why do you want to go to Western? ? 

Does anyone know when western will start offering acceptances??

Last year they seemed to be released starting mid march ?

When is UofT going to release offers? Does anyone know?
