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.

Doesn’t this seem unusually high? On average it seems like 1/3 of all applicants are offered admission. 

No tbh many programs are similar, 1/7 is about the average

Did you mean 1/3?

No that’s too high, it’s usually 25% acceptance rate across multiple programs (generally speaking). UofT is more like 15% just due to it being so competitive:/

I’m not sure if I’m doing the math right but I used the 2009-2016 stats you posted. The amount of people offered admission in relation to the total applicants has been closer to 40% acceptance rate. It’s hovering around 32-40%. That’s why I referenced 1/3 of all applicants being accepted which is unusually high. As an example in 2016 241 offers of admission were given out with 745 total applicants which indicates a 32% acceptance rate that year.

No you’re right! I was using the registration numbers. Hmm that is pretty high honestly. I’m not too sure why 70 or so offers get turned down. Maybe they wanted to go to other schools?

Just found these on the UofT site, it’s from 2017 so maybe it may fluctuate!

LOL that increasing entering average ??. I wonder if it's even higher now since the most recent report here is from 2016, and especially since for Fall 2021 there's been a massive surge in nursing applications in general. ? Although I guess it's possible they increased the number of spots in the program since 2016 ... ? Which might mean these stats (entering GPA, acceptance rate) stay constant. Who knows! 

My Nipissing status reads “no decision/accepted elsewhere” - which is true, I did accept elsewhere at the moment. 
 

Just wondering if my accepting elsewhere will affect the admissions decision for Nipissing.

Where did you see that message on OUAC?

No, not on Ouac.  It was on my Nipissing web advisor, on my Nipissing account.

Mine says “AP” rather than “R” - what does this mean? ?

Mine says AP too ? are you an internal applicant?? It probably is received and application processed...

Oh mine also says AP! I think it must be AP = internal applicant and R = external
