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.
Do schools care about how long it took to complete an undergrad? My grades in the first few years weren't the best but I was able to bring my cGPA up to a ~3.0-3.1, and my final year GPA to a ~3.9-4.0. Anybody else in a similar situation? Or has anyone heard of a similar case being admitted?
Hey I just wanted to say that I am in the EXACT same boat. I've been completing my undergrad for ... well, years and I'll be able to pull up my cGPA to a ~3.2 and I'm currently at ~3.9-4.0 for my last year. I'm really worried since I only applied to U of T (my top choice) and Humber, and Humber doesn't accept any letters to explain extenuating circumstances.

Wait does U of T look at the entire transcript or just the last year?
Right?! They are apparently already planning on moving back to in-person classes in the fall so hopefully placements will resume then too.
I hope so!! I wonder if things will be back to normal this coming September. For Queen’s, you’re apparently not allowed to leave Kingston or have anyone visit from outside of Kingston- this would suck LOL but totally understandable. Hopefully we do have a better grip over the situation so we can go back to the “norm”

I know they use the most recent 5 full credits (so last year with a full course load) for GPA calculation, but I assume they look at your whole transcript. That is just my assumption though, take it with a grain of salt.

I know how you feel, I didn't apply to too many schools either so chances of getting in aren't maximized. But if they do only look at the final year/two years like other people mentioned, I think we've got a decent shot!
For those who applied to York, McMaster, or UofT: which school are you hoping to get into and why? They don't have much info on their websites so I would love to hear what specifically about the program(s) appeal to you guys!

I only applied to York, primarily because it's within commuting distance (I have no interest in commuting into the city for UofT) but also because my sister went through nursing there and had a good experience. They offer lots of placement experiences, starting in first semester, which I have read some schools don't do (hopefully covid won't mess this up for the incoming class).
2021hopeful

From York, and no, it was conditional. I'm finishing my last prereq this semester.
