Ontario Second-Entry Nursing

Published

Hi Everyone!

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 -

  1. University of Toronto
  2. York
  3. Nipissing
  4. Western
  5. Queen's
  6. 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.

Best wishes to everyone! Good Luck!

@mseco, congrats on getting into york :) if you dont mind me asking, did your status change to waitlisted before you got accepted? or did it just go from no decision yet to accepted? thanks

@butter413, it just went from 'no decision yet' to "admitted" :)

Just checked the My File page for York and it says I'm accepted to the program! Received no email yet, so make sure to keep checking the main sights for those who are still waiting. Haven't heard from Toronto yet though, patiently refreshing that page....

Hey, congrats do you mind sharing your GPA?

@gb13 not at all. My cGPA is a 3.4 and my final year is a 4.07.

My response is due tomorrow for York but I will be declining! I'm sure people on the waitlist and/or those with "no decision yet" will be hearing soon!

can someone give an insight on why they would choose York over humber , what is it about the York program that is more reputable?

Just signed into York MyFile and it says admitted!!!!!!

Would you mind sharing your gpa?

cGPA is 3.7/4.3 and 2 year GPA is 4.0/4.3

Just a tip to others waiting to hear back - send in your final transcripts even if they don't ask for one, if you have any updated marks from the winter semester, especially if you have just completed the pre-reqs. I spoke to someone on the phone and they said to do that and just a few days after - I've been admitted.

Has anyone heard from Mac in the last couple days? Just wondering what averages they are at? I am getting nervous.

hey everyone! omg i just received my acceptance from york! this is definitely a dream come true for me. I applied to all second entry nursing schools in Ontario last year and didnt get into any one of them. It was a very depressing moment for me. I decided to try one more time this year and only applied to york so it was basically all or nothing. I kept refeshing my myfile page today and my status finally changed to admitted. Im super happy, im crying :) good luck to everyone and dont give up!
