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.

Does anyone know how sub-GPA is calculated if I'm in my fourth year and I haven't completed Winter term?

WOW I ALSO GOT INTO UFT YAAAY
I didn't have any actual clinical experience either so I guess that wasn't a necessity? I was super worried about it before applying.

AMAZINGGG! Mega congrats to people who are getting good news today. Definitely from what I understand they are quite holistic in their approach.

Do you happen to know when your portal was updated? Trying to figure out if they will release acceptances only once a day on fridays so I can save myself from refreshing and actually study stats so I can at least pass that pre-req LOL.

LOOL I feel this. I have a report due today that I was supposed to be looking over but all I could focus on was checking joinuoft every few minutes. ?

Same which I know is ridiculous ?

btw acceptances are first offered to those who have already completed the prereqs and/or completed a degree!

Majority of those who are still in school or finishing pre-reqs, will have to wait for a decision AFTER their final marks are available and submitted to U of T

IKR. It sucks ? but the good thing about UofT at least is that they'll be releasing offers every Friday, so the next round is pretty soon!! We've still got months left LOL

Which school said that?

That was Nipissing. 

Does anyone know how the schools use the CASPer test? More of a screening or weighted with the GPA?

Has anyone spoken to McMaster admissions about when the first round of acceptances will be released?
