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.

Omgg no way!! I'm taking PCL476 this semester and took 470 last semester LOL! I took 475 in third year. You're in the specialist program too then right? I'm shook I was so not expecting to find another person from our program on here ? ? 

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

OMG thats so funny! I'm a major not a spec though. Are you in the 476 groupchat on facebook? I know theres one other person from 475 last semester who is applying to U of T nursing

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

Hi! I think this is something new since my admission status is still "No Decision Made" since December 18. Can you check what is under your "Status Date"?

Until proved otherwise, I am assuming AP = Acceptance Pending ?

LOL I WISH .
 

edit: But then R would likely mean Rejected so I hope that’s not the case!

LOL can someone please email admissions ? this is killing me ? mines says “R” too and I’m not an internal applicant. I’ve already probably annoyed admissions through my other emails during application season.

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. 

I think that if you accepting elsewhere would have an effect on your admissions decision that is quite unfair as Nipissing does send out acceptances semi late. If that were the case all should should be sending them out at the same time, or we should not be given such short notice to accept an offer!

That being said, where did this status change? I know my application seems to not have been touched since January/early February.

It does not affect because I asked the admission officer.

Great! Thanks!  This acceptance was for a 4 year program ... I would prefer Nipissing though.
