    Thanks ess-bee. I'll just stop refreshing the student centre then. lol. I'm thinking that it's 4:16pm already, so this probably concludes another day of waiting. Not feeling too good about

    In the same boat as you all. I am trying to read my HA&P book but I have literally only read half a page with refreshing allnurses and the student services centre and my e-mail. What sucks is that...

    hopingfor2012 replied to villanelle's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Vanessa - indeed I have. lol. I think that the GPA cut off won't really make a difference because I think they consider the average between your supplemental grade (that they assign) and GPA, so it's...
