I found this off of reddit: “Placements start in the Winter term. The first three placements that you get (Winter term, Spring term, Summer term) are randomized and assigned to you. All in Hamilton, I believe. In your final year (next Fall and Winter terms), you can rank your preferences for placement. You can also apply for and rank your preferences for atypical placements (which includes ER, ICU, Public Health, etc), depending on your GPA and references from tutors. The office will then try to match a placement according to your preferences. I've heard that some people had some bad experiences with the ranking system though, and they never got a placement that they had wanted, unfortunately. It's really just luck-based.” I really hope they aren’t online, my friends who are in basic nursing had in person placements and they really enjoyed them. Hopefully I have the same experience, just hoping for the best haha.

Just curious where did you find this information for Mac?

Nope I took Winter 21 off. I emailed Mac and they said they don’t look at the Winter sem. I felt okay afterwards, there were a couple scenarios that I thought I didn’t do well on. I prepared a lot for it though.

Thank you!! Sorry I should’ve specified this is for my last 2 years. My cGPA was a 3.8 but I don’t think they look at it.

Thank you!! Sure, I have a 3.77 on the OMSAS scale.

I just got accepted today! I’m an internal applicant, I’m not sure if that makes a difference. We have 10 days to decide though so I think they’re going to release offers as people decline. Hang in there!

I am most likely going McMaster because I go there right now and it’s less of a change for me ?

I will be declining ?

Do you happen to know if they will release more offers before then?

I think you should send it immediately ?

Congrats on your acceptance! If it’s anything like the basic program it will be assigned to you but you get to rank your choices I think. Also were you an internal applicant?

Sorry I’m not sure about the first question. But as for your second question, I asked admissions and a 3.8 is competitive. It depends on your Casper score too though, I’ve read about people with 3.6-3.7 getting into the program!

https://nursing.mcmaster.ca/programs/undergraduate/bscn-accelerated If you click on sept 2020 you can see the schedule there. There are no breaks between semesters ?

They send out acceptances in May?

Mine says pending applications too ? Mine says the same thing but I emailed the admissions office to ask if we'd be getting the results on mosaic or email and they said on email so I'm not sure if they're even going to update everyone's mosaic. ?

Hi! You should definitely email the schools and check to make sure, but I think if you take 10 FCE's you should be fine? Good luck with everything ❤️

Hi everyone! I hope everyone is doing well. For anyone who goes to Mac and is applying internally, do you know if our application will show up on mosaic, or will we receive our acceptances/rejections by email? Thank you! ❤️

The wording on their requirements was pretty tricky and they didn't get back to my email. I thought you needed Kin 2Y03, 2YY3 and an additional course so I didn't apply. Ugh I'm so sad ?

I just googled it, UofT's GPA scale is different from the OMSAS scale so be careful with your applications to other schools! I know Mac and Western use OMSAS to calculate GPA. ? I converted every grade using the OMSAS scale then averaged it and I double-checked with this website: https://mcmaster-GPA-calculator.web.app/# Someone please correct me if I'm wrong (':

Congrats on your acceptance!! McMaster is also my top choice ?

Yes!

Hi! So I talked to Western admissions and they said they look at the 10 most recent courses starting from fall 2020 and then counting back. If you are enrolled in Winter 2021 and your GPA isn't competitive enough they'll look at this semester as well!
