A friend of mine applied to Queen's last year, she had a B+ cumulative average with all the required courses and was put on the waiting list. From what I understand, it is a competitive admissions process since there are so few spots. If you are applying from BC, are you guys also open to schools other than Queen's University? There are many other accelerated nursing programs in Ontario: Western, McMaster, University of Toronto, York, University of Ottawa...off the top of my head.

Are you still missing credits? The pre-requisites and minimum GPAs vary greatly between the programs. I'm am also not sure of the order of difficulty to get accepted, but I think you should factor in how large each program is. University of Toronto has about 150-180 students in their program while I've heard that the Queen's AST program has a much smaller class of 30-40.

I am currently researching 2-year Accelerated/Second-Entry/Advanced Standing BScN programs in Ontario. More specifically, I'm looking at: University of Toronto York University University of Ottawa Queen's University University of Western Ontario I have figured out the different university level pre-requisites and deadlines, (although U of Ottawa is incredibly vague even after I emailed their admissions people) and I have a Bachelor's degree in Arts and Sciences so I do have the necessary science background. I'm hoping to get some personal opinions and feedback from people that are familiar with these different programs. Which ones are the best? Positive experiences, negative experiences? Also, as a side question, are Second-Entry graduates as respected as 4-year BScN graduates? Any information is greatly appreciated!
