Ontario Second-Entry Nursing (2017)

[elliscn]

Hey everyone :)

So fall just flew in so I thought what a great time it would be to start my nursing applications lol. It is very early, but I enjoy having this on my mind. I am in my final year at University and am hoping to be a nursing student come next September. I wanted to make a space where we could come together with a common goal: getting accepted. The schools I plan to apply are:

Trent, Toronto, Humber, Western and Queens

Possibly considering RPN programs as well.

Hi guys, I have a question about averages. I know UofT uses the last ten courses to calculate your average, but I have taken 4 courses now since graduating. Does anyone know if they use the last 10 courses of your undergraduate only, or do they also include courses not taken as a part of your undergraduate program?

Also - was there any conclusion drawn on the JoinUofT status changing to 'Under Review'?

Hey guys, does anyone know if OUAC sends our final transcripts on our behalf?

Hi Kenra,

OUAC does send out final transcripts, but you have to request it.

Hi Kenra,

OUAC does send out final transcripts, but you have to request it.

To send our winter final grades (the last semester) do you know if we request to send it 'Immediately' or the option 'End of Winter Term' ??

Hi everyone,

I still haven't received any offers, (which makes me very anxious) however Western asked for my final grades so i am hoping that is a good sign.

But for anyone that has applied to UofT, my documents say that they've been received, but not yet reviewed.

Does anyone know if that means they just haven't gotten to me yet?

Or have people been accepted where there stuff says it still hasn't been reviewed?

Also my application status just still says "application received".

Just wondering if anyone has any insight on this!

Thank you :)!

I selected at the 'End of Winter Term' because my transcript hasn't been updated yet, so if OUAC sent it immediately, it wouldn't include my Winter marks yet.

Does anyone know if anyone has gotten rejected from Western? Or does everyone who didn't get accepted to Western get asked to provide further grades?

[amb09]

They reject people who don't have over 78% average over their last 2 years at the time they send out those offers. So they look at 2nd year marks.

Hey @triNurse2017, I emailed admissions with the same question back when I was applying and they were very vague, basically just repeating what it already stated on their website. From what I understood, they will only look at courses completed as part of your undergrad, so anything you do after will not improve your admission GPA sadly.

Just got a conditional offer from McMaster today! How long did it take OUAC/letter of admission to show up for those who received the same?

Thanks TriNurse! I didn't know that we have to make separate requests for it (and pay twice!). I just chose to send my transcript immediately when I applied.

Congrats! My letter of admission came later on the same day as the offer showed up on Mosaic. It took 3 days for the offer to show up on OUAC (had to wait the entire weekend).

We also received an email from the admissions coordinator regarding tuition deposits yesterday morning. She just reminded us to pay the deposit by the deadline to accept the offer.

To those of you still waiting to hear from U of T, I will be declining my offer and hope that seat goes to one of you lovely people!!!
