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.

From the NCLEX 2019 data it seems the number of students accepted are on average: 

170 (UofT)

75ish (McMaster) 

120 (York) 

100 (Western) 

70 (Trent) 

50 (Nipissing) 

Last year I actually heard that Nipissing actually accepted less students and accepted around 38! I don't think these numbers are 100% accurate, at least with Nipissing because it is based on the number of preceptors they have available each year

Hey everyone!

I hope all of you are doing well. I’m starting to freak out, am I the only one who hasn’t received an acceptance yet? I’ve applied to York, western and McMaster? What if no one accepts me :((

Only a few schools release early acceptances. I believe McMaster only releases acceptances in May/June, York I'm not certain of, and Western JUST started releasing acceptances this week. Hang in there! 

I am really heartbroken right now. The offer I got for western has been changed back to “applied”. I am very confused and scared ? I got happy for no reason. It said “offered admission” the past three days. I never got the offer letter yet but I’m assuming it comes in a few days.

Thanks so much for the kind words ! I’m just confused because it doesn’t say offered admission anymore it says “applied” now.

Does it say anything on OUAC?

No nothing ? I guess they accidentally gave me an offer. I got excited for no reason then.

I hope it’s just a system error and that your offer isn’t wrong. Did you take a screenshot of the offer?

Yes I did ! I sent an email I hope it was just a system error ! I feel embarrassed telling a few people I got an offer to now learn that it’s not one.

Honestly you probably did get accepted and they accidentally released the results early! Like you were supposed to hear later in the month and someone accidentally pressed "send" LOL

I agree with this! They probably didn't mean to sent it yet and sent it early! I doubt they would send out an offer to take it back

Hopefully admissions gets back to you soon, don't stress too much and try to stay calm ?
