This is super early to talk about applying to nursing school for 2016, but it's always better to be well-prepared! Let's share some thoughts and help each other out!
I am re-applying to nursing schools as I did not get in last year, and planning to enroll to more courses for pre-reqs and to increase my GPA (I graduated with a B.A.)hopefully this year will be much better and with luck!!!!
I have a few universities in mind to apply -
University of Toronto
York
Nipissing
Western
Queen's
McMaster
Should I apply to more? Which one should I apply? I am super eager to enter the program and I failed once, failing twice is not allowed!
Feel Free to give me suggestions or ask questions! Here is a link I found online listing most of the second entry nursing programs.
How do we accept the offer if we applied using the internal application for uoft? I tried looking on the joinuoft site and wasnt able to see anything where I can accept the program.

Don't worry, you'll soon be able to accept the offer on join! It was a few days before I could accept mine. I think it just takes a couple of days for Admissions to officially code your offer in acorn/rosi. Once you accept, it will take a day or 2 more for your response to be processed. Your rosi will also update :)
(Or you can fill out the acceptance form that comes in the mail with your official acceptance package. I think it would take a lot longer for your response to be processed this way, though.)
I know a bunch of us have heard back from UofT (so congrats!!) and for those who haven't (hold tight!!) I'm sure good news is on its way. Did anyone get any awards/financial stipends? I applied to a bunch, as I am not well-off financially and I am just finishing a Masters so I have debt from that. I am wondering if they let us know if we received any awards in May or if anyone already has?! The email says "early spring"...
My cGPA was a 3.00 and the last two years was a 3.6 or so I believe!
I did however do a lot of extracurriculars. I volunteered at Sick Kids for four years, I worked in two labs for three years, my friends and I started a club at our university to help people experiencing homelessness, as well as being a part of the Emergency Medical Response Group at our university for three years.
Don't worry, UofT continues giving out acceptances up until June I believe :) Good luck
For those who have been accepted into Western do you mind sharing your average over the last 2 years? im at an 84.95% and getting worried that other people have heard back!

Hey, congrats on your acceptance! I did receive a scholarship. I was accepted April 18th but the scholarship letter was dated April 8th and it didn't get to me until the end of April.
