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:
i am not a UofT student but I am taking their physiology online course. And if they teach all their courses like that then I don't want to go to UofT.
Before I started this course my friend told me that most UofT student say that it's better to do undergrads somewhere else, get good grades and then get a masters from UofT. I didn't listen and now I deeply regret that. I am comparing UofT online course to other online undergraduate courses I am taking (Queens and New Brunswick) and they are way better organized and taught and it is easier to get a good grade. And by easier I don't mean that I am lazy and want easy grades, I mean at other courses I know if I did all the homework and study properly - I'll get a good grade.
Most likely my grade in physiology will be so poor that I'll have to take another course (not Uoft this time!) and apply next year. But at least it changed my perspective, before that I wanted UofT only because it is #3 nursing school in the world, very top level and if I will not get into UofT it's the end of the world etc
Now I look more realistically at things and will be more than happy to get into York or Western, and after that I will do my masters in UofT. If I will not get anywhere this year then next year Queens will be my first choice because I really liked the way their online school is organized, attitude to students and quality of courses.
@amb09 Congrats! Can I ask what your GPA was in the last 10.0 credits?
Thank you!! I believe the last 2 years was around an 83% (western doesnt use GPA so not sure what that translates to)
Also I just sent my final transcript in last week and under OUAC put 'send immediately' as opposed to 'winter term' so I think that helped them get my grades way sooner!

You mentioned western when it came to your average. Did you get accepted to Western?
So I have been accepted to all the programs I applied (Trent, Western, UofT and McMaster), so far I have narrowed my choice between Western and McMaster. Does anyone know which program is better if you want to do Emergency Nursing or Maternity Nursing? I also want to do a nurse practitioner master later on, so I am not sure which program will be better for that. Thanks for the help! I can't wait to meet some of you :)
Thanks so much! I am graduating this year from Western with a Health Science degree! I had an 88% average in my last 5 credits and volunteerwise I have taught the SMART classes to older adults for 3 years and done various volunteer events along with community service learning courses.
To be honest I was convinced I wasn't going to get in I'm super happy
