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.

Do you mind me asking what your GPA/average was? I think they used your last 2 years/60credit hours for calculation purposes right?

last 60 credits  3.46 and the average was 80% - yes last 2 years 60 credits

Hey everyone, I received an email from UofT saying my physiology prerequisite does not meet the requirements, and that I could take another physiology course and finish it by June to have them continue looking at my application. I was just wondering how time intensive the AthabascaU physiology course is and if it is possible to finish in around 2 months? It's really pushing it so I want to know if its worth the time and money commitment. Also does anyone know how long it would take to have the release a final grade/transcript once the course is completed? 

I finished that course in a month. Sign up asap, and Athabasca is very fast with transcripts

Congrats =)! Can I ask how you went about converting your GPA to a percentage grade? (trying to calculate where I might stand in the admission committee's eyes haha)

I just added all 60 credits and found the average like that LOOL not sure how else to do it tbh

Here’s the conversion chart! If you want to know your exact GPA you use this chart to calculate the GPA for each course and then average those! Hope this helps!!

For the GPA I just used uofts scale since that’s where I went- do schools follow omsas? I thought that  was for medical school only lmao 

I applied on OUAC 105 and rehab for OT school, both scales are the exact same so I think it’s pretty standard ?

Don’t use OMSAS LOL that’s for med schools!

Just use the GPA conversion chart of the school you want to go to!

OMSAS can be used across the board. It will standardize your GPA to a 4.0 scale if your school uses a 4.33 scale, 12.0 scale, 9.0 scale, etc.
