Ontario/Toronto RPN Programs

Stardust · Aug 31, 2020

@dreyy 96% if we are only looking at the 4 pre-requisites (eng, math, chem & bio). 93% if we are looking at best 6 Gr.12 courses

Have you applied for Jan 2021 as well? Everyone says Jan start is easier to get in than Sept!

dreyy · Aug 31, 2020

I've actually applied to sheridan for may 2021, my average is an 87% with 6 gr12 course and im scared my grades arent good enough @Stardust

but im assuming the people applying for May are only people who didn't gett accepted to the January program

Stardust · Aug 31, 2020

@dreyy I think 87% is plenty good tbh. Of course it depends who else applied to Sheridan for May 2021. I don’t think it would necessarily be full of people who didn’t get in for Sept/Jan either. Have you applied anywhere else? Ideally I would have loved to go to Humber, but I wasn’t ready to start school in Sept (they don’t have a Jan start) and the commute was just too far me. I also applied to George Brown, Durham and Seneca. Seneca is closest to me but they’re a category 2 school so that made it my last choice.

I emailed sheridan and they said the people who got offers for January 2021 were ppl with GPA 86% and above, so theres little hope since im assuming the May intake isn't as popular compared to January and fall. the only other college I applied to is GBC may 2021 but I doubt im getting into bc I heard they only sent offer to ppl with 90% and above for the January intake. when did u send your application and what other schools did u get an offer from? @Stardust

aswell as SHeridan not being the best school for practical nursing, im hoping to get accepted

Stardust · Aug 31, 2020

@dreyy I see. Well you never know. Most people apply to like 5 schools so I feel like you will get an offer, if anything you might just get an offer a little later. I applied late July and I got an offer from all the schools I applied to except GBC. Someone on another thread was saying the cutoff for GBC is around 91% for Jan. I feel like I might have sent my stuff a little too late and that’s why I haven’t heard from them. Tbh after reading about some people’s experience at GBC I’m not sure I even want to go there. I visited Georgian’s campus last year when I was first debating going to college, I inquired about the paramedic program initially and I liked the feel of the college so I’m leaning towards that. Have you thought about upgrading your average by repeating courses? You could use the ILC. If you have some time on your hands between now and May it might not be a bad idea. Myself, I’m thinking of either taking grade 12 physics or Kinesiology just to keep learning as much as I can prior to program start. Either that or getting a hold of some nursing textbooks and get reading.

no I don't have time for ILC, right now I've accepted a different offer from different program just incase I didn't get into rpn, and Sheridan told me they start sending offers end of September when school starts until end of October, and the due date for tuition deposit for the program I've currently accepted is in novermber 11, so if anything I can just switch to sheridan if I get an offer even if its late

and also I heard most people apply to either Centennial, GBC Seneca Conestoga HUmber and Mohawk, so im trying to get my hopes up since Sheridan isn't as popular and convenient because of the location

Stardust · Aug 31, 2020

Same thing I heard. Those seem to be the most popular choices but Conestoga, Fanshawe and Mohawk are all for sure out of commuting range. I didn’t apply to Centennial just because it’s another category 2 program. I only applied to Seneca because that commute is ideal.... I don’t know why Sheridan isn’t that popular...haven’t heard anything good or bad about them. At the end of the day though all that matters is that you pass the registration exam...I’m not entirely convinced which school you go to matters too much...except if you are talking about clinicals.

what other program did you accept the offer to?

Lucydog14 · Aug 31, 2020

Sheridan is just fine. After all, they all cover the same curriculum and prepare you for the same exam so it’s not going to really matter where you go.

I do believe that there will be a negative remark from a student that attended any college, because let's face it, no one school is perfect. I would suggest looking at the approved nursing programs list on the CNO website (link below) as my personal suggestion would be not to attend any school that is a category 2. One of the deciding factors on whether a college is ranked category 1 or 2 has to do with the results of the CPRNE exam which you will be responsible for taking after you complete college.

When I was deciding which schools I was going to apply for for my RPN program I unfortunately did not know this list existed but I did review the CPRNE exam results (can find this on the CNO website as well) from previous years to help determine which schools I would apply to. At the end of the day, you want to apply to a school where once your finished your program, you feel adequately ready to write an entry exam and pass. A friend of mine attended Centennial College initially and then transferred to Seneca (ironically both Category 2 schools) for her RPN and had a tough time at both.

I actually got accepted to Sheridans practical nursing it happened to be a category 1 school according to the CNO website, so I guess it turned out pretty well
