Hi Bella!, I share how you feel about schooling during covid, it suckeddddd. But I wouldn't be so discouraged if its caused by a general elective. I think nursing core courses carry more weight than gen ED when it comes to admissions decisions, but if you're still concerned I would discuss it with admissions offices about how to proceed before taking a gen ED course again. On another note, I do know that UOIT's bridging program provides an opportunity for applicants to bump their admission grade up if you take university courses/nursing certificates (by up to 12% total) if you're interested in their program. University of Ottawa's bridging program has an admission requirement of 900 hrs of work experience, so that could be an advantage for some as it disqualifies people who jump into rpn->RN immediately, and benefits those with work experience. I myself didn't get into the RN program on the first try, so I went to get my RPN and now I'm here with y'all. Life's weird like that. But I hope the rest of your studies go well

Nice! I also got an admission offer from them just recently.

The application site for McMaster did not explicitly request a CNO license upload, so I did not attach it in my application prior to February 1. UOIT required it however so I uploaded mine there. I just received a letter from UOIT (so that was quick), unfortunately I didn't make the cut, hope everyone else has better luck with it however.

Hi folks, just wanted to hear if anyone else on the forum is applying to bridging this year or if they are currently in the program/what's it like. I'm applying to both Conestoga/Mohawk McMaster, Trent compressed, and UOIT. Got an 85% cumulative avg in my RPN program last year, did my Casper Test on Feb 1. My Casper test results put me in the second quartile (25-50%) range so that has me nervous about my chances at getting admitted. Anyone else do Casper or if they got any early offers of admission yet for 2022?
