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.

Well I know they weigh grades and the supp app equally so just hang in there

definitely throughout the day. my acceptance was near 5 pm last year. there is no correlation between when the supplemental app was submitted/when applications were submitted etc - so don't be too worried about that! they only start reviewing the applications at the end of February (I.e. after they gather all the applications), which means the offers are not lined in chronological order of your application. Congrats to those who got accepted, and good luck to those who are waiting! remember, there are still more than 10 Fridays left until the end of June ?

Heyy

quick question though, 

how much reference letters matter? I heard they see holistic application not only pre-reqs. 

correct me if I am wrong, haven't heard anything and I am in panic mode LOL

not too sure "how much" it is important quantity-wise. but. yes, it is holistic and I can say this because my GPA was mediocre (at the time of application was 3.6 smth, final GPA was 3.7 smth, and I got in early may). I think it's my personal statement and reference letter that saved my *** and got me in.

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

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

I spoke with admissions, they said OMSAS is for medicine and to use uofts grading system 

For those accepted to UofT

what does your portal say?

it just says "admitted" where it used to say "application received"
