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 how schools (namely Humber/UNB) calculate the last 10 credits when some of them were only taken for credit? Would they go back to earlier semesters or just exclude those courses from the calculation?
I am not sure about Humber/UNB specifically, however, I had a part-time semester in my last ten and spoke to a few schools about this specifically. When I e-mailed a few other programs about how the calculation would be done, they said they included the minimum number of semesters to reach the full 10. Basically, the idea being that if you don't have the full 10 credits from your 4 semesters (I.e. 9.5 credits or less), they will take the full fifth semester rather than just a course of two from that semester - even if it puts the total slightly over 10. Sorry, I don't know specifically about Humber, but hope this helps!
Does anyone know if you get a program brochure in the mail after you have been accepted to a university, or do you just see that you're accepted on OUAC??
Hey everyone, to take our minds off of the stress of admissions, just wanted to say you all are warriors!! Nursing school apps are very stressful especially the wait for acceptances, but stay strong all of you! Good luck and I am crossing my fingers that all of us will hear good news soon! For now, keep yourselves busy and happy. Hint: try and stay away from this forum for a bit :P. Stay safe! Y'all are gonna be amazing nurses!
For those who applied to Nipissing SPP, I went on to "my nipissing" account and noticed that all my prerequisite courses were "received", except for my anatomy one. I have completed 2 half courses in anatomy. I'm wondering if anyone else is finding a lag in their courses being updated?

You can email their admissions team and they can look into it for you! Thats what I did ?
Yes, I have emailed. Now I'm just worried it is too late, we are way past Feb 8.
I think as long as you submitted before the 8th you shouldn't have a problem. They may have just missed something since all your other pre reqs are up. I would maybe just double check its an okay anatomy course and all is good there. Overall though I think you should be fine
