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.

Hey everyone! Fall 2022 admission hopeful for UofT here ? I was wondering, did they conduct interviews at all for your admission cycle? And is there any general advice you could give me for this second entry nursing application process? Any help would be greatly appreciated! ❤️

No, they don't conduct any interviews! It was just based on your transcript, ECs, and references (they got rid of the reference requirement for your cycle though!).

Overall I absolutely love the program - it's a lot of work, don't get me wrong, but I'm learning so much already. Our clinical placements started in September so it's pretty cool that we get to start charting and doing patient assessments early on. UofT is really holistic in their application process so as long as you can express what makes you a strong candidate, you will be fine ? Goodluck!

hi everyone

For anyone that has previously taken the test, can you copy paste answers within the test, as, not copy an answer before the exam starts and paste it on the test but copy paste and answer you've already typed in for many questions?

I know each question is corrected by a different person so they wouldn't know but is the copy paste option disabled during the test?

Hey! I applied to U of T, Nipissing SPP, and Western last year. I am currently at U of T in my first year of the nursing program, please let me know if you have any questions about the application process or the program! ?

I also did the CBLG10A/B course at ryerson. For U of T we had to send in our final transcripts by mid-July, so I'm not sure if Spring courses would be able to meet that deadline. Like the poster above said, you should try checking with the other unis as well to see if they will accept Spring courses.

Hey, I was wondering what GPA did you have to get in and did u have a lot of extracurriculars? I’m worried I won’t get in im around 3.4ish GPA in  my last 2 years, do u happen to know anyone whose currently in your program with similar GPA to mine ?
