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, huge congratulations to everyone that has heard back from schools, and to anyone that hasn't please hang on in there ?
I am looking for advice. I was taking anatomy as a prerequisite for Western/ Nipissing SPP and did not get my final grade above 60%, which is the requirement for Western. Nipissing says they just need you to pass the prerequisite, however I know it's a very competitive program!
I'm completely at a loss of what to do because I was sure I was going to get that 60%. Nipissing SPP is where I really, really, really want to be. I already have competitive grades from my undergrad, Master's, and other prereqs. I'm not sure if they will accept me with my low Anatomy mark.
It looks like the only two options I have are to send in the mark I have right now or to sign up for the Athabasca Anatomy/Physiology online course and complete it as quickly as I can, as long as Western and Nipissing will accept this grade instead of the one I got from my U of T anatomy course.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this situation?
Another thing I just thought of is that for Nipissing they will be sending out their offers within the next two weeks since their dates say they send out by April! I would probably wait it out until then, and if you get in great! If not maybe try taking it again to better your chances for western depending on if you have time to finish the course! Hopefully this helps a bit more
I am a bit nervous why only a few of us here have applied to uOttawa and why no one ever lists uOttawa as an Ontario Second Entry nursing option? Is it bad? Not popular? Hard to get into? Not well-known?

I personally didn’t apply bc I don’t like that it starts in May + Ottawa isn’t really a city I want to be in, just because of personal preferences. The program itself is not the factor as to why people don’t apply as much, I guess.

Hi! I am currently a uOttawa student. The English second entry program has not been open there for many many years, they have only had the French one available. So I think a lot of people didn’t know the English stream was opening back up this year! I also heard that they only accepted around 5-8 people this year ..

What do you mean by "they only accepted 5-8 people this year"? Like for the upcoming program starting May 2021, only 5-8 people will be in it?
I was under the impression that acceptances weren't even given out yet until mid-March which really only is today?

I might be wrong! But a friend of mine emailed them a while back, and they mentioned they only let in 5-8 people for the upcoming program starting in May. But again this information might be wrong!

I wonder if that just meant so far?? If not, I would hope they'd send out rejections or something.

Oh boy... I sure hope that was some sort of miscommunication because this is the only program I applied to. rip.
How is it even a program then if they only accept so few students? Especially after it was not accepting applicants for its English stream for the last 2 years in a row. They used to rotate French and English second entry before that.

Same! I am cautiously checking my application there, but it still says "waiting list".

I really don’t want to scare anyone ! I could be completely wrong it’s just the information that I heard. I really hope it’s not right! I’m sure if anyone sends an email they can give more information!
I was just wondering if there are any current McMaster students that applied to transfer to the McMaster Accelerated program. In my Mosaic it says no current pending applications which is a little concerning. My Casper marks have been delivered to Mac so just getting a little worried that my application was missed or something. Any input would mean a lot!
Does anyone’s McMaster student centre say anything other than ‘notified’ for the supp app? Said it would update 3-4 weeks after the app deadline but no change and I completed my CASPer back in November 2020
