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.

Congrats to everyone who has been accepted! I'm a bit confused about when decisions are made about students who are completing pre-reqs in their final year of a 4-year undergrad degree. Does Bloomberg offer conditional offers or do they wait until final marks are received to make a decision?

UofT will accept people who are completing pre reqs as my A&P is sill being completed and I got a conditional offer

I got a conditional offer! I'm in 4th year, completing my social science prerequisite.

Hey! I'm in the same boat, but just wrote my exam and thinking I'll be getting like a low-mid 70 in one of them... any chance you know what the conditional offer is? I have seen people post that they need at least a B- in their physiology pre req, just wondering is social sciences is the same (since in the application, you could technically submit a pre req that was minimum 60%). 

hello! to those who are choosing UofT and the deadline to accept your offer is tmr, did you pay your deposit already? I thought it would be due June 1st, but I read the letter thoroughly and it says to login to ACORN "for complete details including the deadline date." So when I logged in and went to the financial account section, it says "Due April 23, 2021" so not June 1st! I paid it a few days ago anyways but just wanted to know if anyone else was a bit confused by the due date for deposit payment?

Hey! I noticed this as well as mine is due next Friday but my letter stated June 1st. I emailed admissions so I can let everyone know when they answer me. Hopefully it’s not actually the April dates as that would mess a lot of people up. I also emailed about the fee % so I will keep everyone updated ?

Hey! If you don’t mind me asking, what day did you get your acceptance? Thank you in advance! 

For UofT I’m pretty sure you need to secure your spot within two weeks of receiving your admission. So I think the April date is correct! 

Also good luck to everyone still waiting on a response from UofT! Today is Friday! And if not today there are so many rounds still to go so don’t give up hope! ?

Does anyone have any insight into the pros and cons of UofT vs. McMaster? Those are my top 2 choices and it would be great to hear some different perspectives ?

Currently finishing up my first year at Mac accelerated. What would you like to know? I can't compare to UofT but I can certainly tell you anything you wanna know about Mac.

Hi everyone! For those who have heard back from U of T, I was just curious as to when on Friday(s) you received your acceptance? Did you find it on your Join ID portal alone, or did you receive an email as well? Also, was there a certain time of day you heard by, or did you just continue to check throughout the day (like I have been doing LOL!)? Sorry for all of the questions and thanks in advance everyone ? I hope to see some of you in September!

Hi! I checked my Join ID portal last Friday after my exam at 11:30 and the status had changed to admitted. I didn't get an email until about 7:30PM that night saying that there was a change to my file! I hope this helps!! I hope to see you in September! ?
